Justice Thomas went full right wing in his decision removing any semblance that he is anything but a partisan hack judge with his comments that same sex marriage and contraception also needs to be addressed by this court.
One of the great conservative textualists that we heard so much about.
Before anyone moves to another state, say for a great new job opportunity, they will have to thoroughly research state laws on a variety of issues to see if they can live under those rules. How many other longstanding precedents will now be "returned to the states?" Every state will become like it's own mini-country
So be careful if you think about moving. You will have a lot of research to do.
But that is exactly what a state is, historically…a mini country. They have their own government and their own laws, even their own borders, their own National guardsmen. Certain things like the army/navy and currency were ceded to the feds for convenience’s sake.
Individual forms of birth control effectiveness can exceed over 90% effective with some being less effective like BC medications. I’ve always been in favor of synthetic condoms because not only are they over 90% effective at preventing pregnancy, they also reduce the risk of STD transmission. Condoms with a spermicide lubricant we’re most effective at preventing pregnancy and reducing the risk of STD transmission. Combine condom use with female BC methods and you bring the effectiveness to nearly 100%. Condoms are cheap and available in many stores across the country. Only negative side effect is if one has a latex allergy and you’re using a latex condom. They offer other condoms that aren’t latex.
In his opinion today, Thomas stated that a number of cases should be reexamined and overturned like the following:
Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479. was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects the liberty of married couples to buy and use contraceptives without government restriction.
It's a shame that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh didn't go back and review what they said at their confirmation hearings about Roe v. Wade:
Gorsuch, in 2017, would only characterize Roe as “a precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court” reaffirmed by several subsequent cases. He went on to say that precedent fills out U.S. law.
“Once a case is settled, that adds to the determinacy of the law. What was once a hotly contested issue is no longer a hotly contested issue. We move forward,” he added.
In his 2018 confirmation hearing, Kavanaugh was questioned repeatedly about Roe and Casey.
“It is important precedent of the Supreme Court that has been reaffirmed many times,” Kavanaugh said of Roe. “It is not as if it is just a run of the mill case that was decided and never been reconsidered, but Casey specifically reconsidered it, applied the stare decisis factors, and decided to reaffirm it. That makes Casey a precedent on precedent.”
Too bad they were lying. What's really sad is that anyone believed them at the time.
Shame on the Dems for not doing making Roe v. Wade law when they had the chance. Hopefully now people will realize they can't take anything for granted.
June 24th needs to be made a national holiday as it's the beginning of the end of one of the two greatest moral blots in US history:
The legalized enslavement of millions of human beings.
The legalized murder of more than 60 million unborn babies.
History repeats itself of course. After the slaves were freed in the 1800's, there were groups like the KKK that waged violent terror in the South. There were things like Jim Crow laws. Abuses have been heaped upon black people merely for the fact that they are black. These were all a backlash against of America finally denouncing and ending something that was thoroughly evil, ugly and reprehensible.
So we will see violent extremists rioting, demanding that we go back to defining some human beings as sub-human and undeserving of any rights or protections. The Left which has been blathering on about insurrection for over a year are about to launch into full-blown insurrection mode. They're going to murder people. They're going to trample the rights of anyone and everyone they can find a way to blame for this. We've been here before. This is exactly what selfish evil people do when their chosen evil practice is denied to them. Why do we never learn that dehumanizing certain categories of human beings to fulfill our own selfish agendas is always wrong.

True they lied, but they followed the Constitution in their decision.

The Dems have 50 chances to codify Roe v. Wade into law.
But that is exactly what a state is, historically…a mini country. They have their own government and their own laws, even their own borders, their own National guardsmen. Certain things like the army/navy and currency were ceded to the feds for convenience’s sake.
We have always been the UNITED States. With individual but similar laws for most things. One country. This SC decision and any others that get overturned and "returned to the states" are only adding to the reasons we are splitting apart at the seams.
I hope my grandkids don't end up having to flee this country like my grandparents had to flee unlivable places in Europe back in the early 1900s.
A coalition of 83 prosecutors collectively representing 87 million people from 28 states and territories have publicly vowed not to prosecute those seeking and performing abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s opinion clearing the way for bans and legal action.
Just like the KKK rampaging through the South in denial of the abolition of slavery. This is just the sort of thing that evil people do when evil is made illegal. No great surprise.
