This IS progress. It takes the "abortion issue" off the table when vetting Supreme Court nominees and puts the issue where it belongs.....in State legislatures to be voted on by the people.
If the people had any say with governors. Pffft where’s the weed? The permanent time change etc.?
BASICALLY, AVERAGE CITIZENS ONLY GET WHAT THEY WANT IF ECONOMIC ELITES OR INTEREST GROUPS ALSO WANT IT
Hopefully people will see the abortion ban as the tip of the iceberg for other civil rights issues and take a stand. However, I'm skeptical too. It appears this country is regressing rather than progressing.
You're just repeating DNC talking points that have been filtered through the media. If you or they had read the actual draft opinion, you would know that it says this:
Quote:
Unable to show concrete reliance on Roe and Casey themselves, the Solicitor General suggests that overruling those decisions would "threaten the Court's precedents holding that the Due Process Clause protects other rights." That is not correct for the reasons we have already discussed. As even the Casey plurality recognized, "[a]bortion is a unique act" because it terminates "life or potential life." And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.
Here’s a good one: to all the white guy old fart republicans and backwards McConnell look alikes: if your daughter was impregnated by John Wayne Gacy, Ted bundy, or the local Schizophrenic homeless rapist on the prowl,…. Would you still be against your daughter having an abortion? If so, then why? And then you’d have to tell the child the truth as they aged. What then?
First off, the majority of people including myself do support the right to abortion to an extent. Rape and incest being two. Also as much as I am pro-life, I can understand the hardship a woman will suffer carrying a child to term.
What I have a problem with are these idiots that are against having a limit on a 15 week deadline. Sorry but if a woman cannot decide by then then tough sh*t. Unless it is determined after 15 weeks that carrying to term is determined to cause potential death to either her or the child and it’s determined that deformity has developed in the fetus.
What irks me is the extreme what-if arguments by pro-choice supporters to try to maintain the status quo of abortion laws that have allowed 900,000 abortions per year as another poster claimed and allowing procedures well into the second trimester for the sake of extreme low cases of rape/incest and financial strain on government services.
The “safe, rare and legal” term for abortion rights that even Democrats such as Bill Clinton was quoted saying years ago which was thought to be going forward after Roe V Wade has been abused over the years by many people that use it as a form of contraception because of the possible “Inconvenience” it will cause.
What I want to know who here would put your daughter through delivering that child?
That story breaks my heart. My mother worked in obstetrics at a public hospital for thirty years. She took care of many kids who were pregnant in terribly unfortunate circumstances. Her youngest was just nine-years-old. She still tears up when she talks about it.

All you guys have is emotion. The law demands reversal of Roe, which was wrongly decided from the start.
Tell your elected representatives and they can pass laws to make sure these kids are able to abort their kids.
That said, you and I both know that these anecdotes are rare and don't change the fact that the vast, vast, vast majority of abortions are done by adult women who knowingly had unprotected sex and are using abortion as a form of birth control, often more than once.
