But that won't stop this activist Supreme Court. Welcome to "Right to Life Sunday," where conservatives love the fetus but hate the child.Once again, a vocal minority of Republicans in this country want to dictate how over 330 million Americans live their lives in accordance to their horrible interpretations of the Bible.
Today is evangelicals' "Right to Life Sunday" where they preach against Roe from the pulpit.* Unfortunately, they're all for the fetus, but children, the poor and elderly? Not so much.
* Includes some Catholics. I got the 'It's a breathing, human child as soon as you leave the bedroom' bullshit this morning. BTW: The local priest does not much care for me calling him out on such outrageous anti-science lies in front of other parishioners.

Then the religious terrorists will try for a national ban via federal legislation.
Then the states where it is legal will ignore that law, just like MJ legal states do now.

(94,560 posts)It doesnt matter how many people support reproductive rights. They dont support it ENOUGH to make a driving political issue. Meanwhile the anti-choice people DO oppose it enough to drive Republican politics.

(2,355 posts)The margin of error. So basically the changes are statistically meaningless. 2/3 of the country want Roe v Wade to stand, and the Federalist Society clowns on the court will ignore precedent, and will overturn it outright, or if Roberts can manage to sway them at all, they'll gut it like the Civil Rights Act, so that it's basically meaningless. In the latter case, Roberts, in an attempt to maintain the Court's non-partisan image (good luck with that), will argue that some lower number of weeks below 24 is sufficient. He'll say 12-15 weeks is OK, and states can regulate the hell out of abortion after that. Bible-banging states will then tell women to fuck off, no abortions after that time, regardless of incest, rape, health of the mother, etc., and the father can sue for custody, or to prevent an abortion before the deadline...
If you can imagine the horror, I'm sure these religiously insane assholes can come up with worse. The Texas law is a prime example. I couldn't have come up with something that barbaric on my most sadistic day.
