Yes, I forgot that side of the equation - it is one thing to limit abortion to 15 weeks like the Mississippi bill but the other stuff they are talking about or hinting at (Thomas) . Not to mention the NY gun law rollback. Link to comment

The SC would rule that this issue is a state issue to determine and not a federal issue. It seems to me, it would have to be a constitutional amendment to codify it. 2 Link to comment

This is some real KGB Gestapo like s#!t. Seems like forced compliance with somebody else’s religious beliefs to me. https://apple.news/AJal0qr77Tt6HKoAD4ftKbw Welcome to The Republic of Gilead. The good thing to come out of this both for pro and con is that now the state legislatures can debate actual laws meant to govern their state. This is better than writing laws that actually legal briefs directed at SCOTUS to change precedent. Who knows, people might even learn who is their state representative. 1 Link to comment
alexhortdog95 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Here's my personal take on this Roe Vs Wade ruling (FWIW).... It's interesting how many people are so misinformed on this subject. I've been talking to numerous people and they keep telling me that the SCOTUS "Overturned the Roe Vs. Wade Law." Me: It shows how much people truly don't give a da*n about Civics in this country anymore. I knew a guy growing up that taught me everything I needed to know about the basic way our government functions: I worked the Primary election in May here in the 2nd. If I had a dollar for every caller I got that: Didn't know that they weren't registered as they thought they were... Didn't know that their polling place changed because they threw away the card that Douglas mailed to them all... Didn't understand how the partisan ballots worked... Didn't understand that there are times when the polls take a break to collect ballots... Didn't understand that there was a registration deadline... I'd be a rich man right now. People are so unbothered about their own democracy until something happens they don't like, THEN they want to give a da*n. Meanwhile, MeeMaw and PawPaw with their walkers are working the election until 1:00 am in the morning. Shameful. The GOP - I gotta hand it to em. They know how to play the long game. Fifty years they worked on this, over numerous administrations, gerrymandering, borderline (and not so borderline) law-breaking attempts to subvert the Constitution. And here we are. Dems/Independents - take notes. Fighting dirty from time to time works. To all the younger folks...It's cool to protest...march...lay down in the street. I see you getting gassed, shot with rubber bullets. I respect that hustle. But what good is all that pain and misery if you DON'T GO TO THE BALLOT BOX FOR FIVE MINUTES?!? Sheesh. That's my rant. 2 Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 ^^^ So, in a nutshell, most voters are so stupid they should not be allowed to vote. Not news. Link to comment

Once a woman is pregnant, she is banned from any travel across state lines in fear that she is doing so to get an abortion. Naaaa…..doesn’t sound like the Taliban. That's the term Kinzinger used to the describe them, right? "The Christian Taliban." Link to comment
