Is Roe v Wade just the beginning ?
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Bottom line the USA is going full on fascist via the Banana Republicans and a real civil war including regional separations is not out of the question. Putin and Xi's dream. Watch America commit national suicide. How convenient for them. -
Is Roe v Wade just the beginning ?
Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Yeah you don't understand. The main job of the supreme court is to interpret the constitution on modern issues. For 50 years the court interpreted abortion to be a right with restrictions allowed and that means it became a constitional right. The constitution didn't even mention women. To be a 100 percent originalist women would then never have any rights, black people would still be 3/5 of a human, and of course forget about gay people. Yes this RADICAL RIGHT WING court has stripped away a constitutional right and they are not done. -

Stuck with them but they've lost all credibility now -

Yes and now there is a movement to make fetuses legally persons which would make abortion murder nationally. Short of that some red states are working on laws to criminalize women traveling to legal abortion states for an abortion and also anyone that helps her even in trivial ways. Sound like a free country to you? -

Correct -
Actually the topic here is NOT a general abortion topic. It's about how the SCOTUS just TRASHED a constitutional right that American women have had for 50 years by disregarding stare decisis. The USA is in a state of shock and even deeper division now. We were Balkanized before, this adds steroids to that. The generic pro life vs. pro choice stuff has been done to death like forever and in general people do not change their minds about that.

The right wing theocratic radicals aren't finished. They will try to do much much more. Now there is a push for something called FETAL PERSONHOOD. That would give fetuses the same rights as existing people. If they win that, it is truly game over. That would instantly make abortion the same as murder nationally. Obviously pills that induce abortion would be illegal (they are also working on that) and using them illegally would also be murder. Natural miscarriages would tend to result in murder investigations. The USA -- a free country? Another thing going on in some state legislatures is to make it ILLEGAL for women to travel to another state to get an abortion and also to help such women.

An "interesting" omission in the Thomas list of new targets (threatening legal contraceptives, gay marriage, and criminalizing gay sex). Interracial marriage. Another thing not mentioned in the ancient constitution. So he's a big hypocrite on top of everything else as he's a black man married to a (insurrectionist) white woman.

The right wingers are not pro life. They are pro birth They are also pro death to so many poor women that they are literally FORCING to carry. That is because the US has a VERY HIGH maternal mortality rate and poor women tend to have poor or no health care and many poor women will try very risky methods to try to abort Shame on everyone that supports forcing these poor women. Their position is very immoral. .
