The constitution doesn't specifically spell out the right of a woman to have an abortion. Yet it doesn't specifically spell out the right to own a high powered semi auto rifle either.

The problem with this court ruling is it strips Americans of a basic right protected by the 14th amendment of our Constitution. Once that happens, and it has, all bets are off. It isn't about abortion, it's about basic civil rights and liberty.

People might not give a shit if a woman has the right to an abortion or not but they certainly will care when the supreme court decides to strip them of rights they deem important to them. Unfortunately when that day arrives it will already be too late. The supreme court denying a basic constitutional right and pushing it to the states who will then make the decision based not upon the votes of the people. Rather the opinion of the politicians who are not required to make laws based upon the will of the people but simply on whatever they want to do.

It's a sad day for Americans everywhere. Just because they haven't come for the rights you may find important to you yet doesn't mean you shouldn't be really, really concerned because they most certainly will.

This was entirely foreseeable before Biden's election. I'd like to know if Biden could have stopped it by packing the court. Or, was the decision not to pack the court an intentional strategy to boost 2022 turnout? Needless to say, said strategy callously put the lives of women in jeopardy solely for political gain. Maybe that's a valid calculation?

That abortion is a wholly contrived GQP gimmick to turn out evangelicals and catholics makes this all the more sickening. It's not a real issue and is completely made-up. The question is whether 2022 hasn't already been corrupted by the Christian fascists. This is such a perverse script.

I don't tend to think he could have packed the court enough to stop it without losing the support of nearly everyone needing to look bipartisan. That seems to be the whole of the Dem Party. The people voting for Dem Congress is the only real cure and I think it's fitting. The people elected RR and Jr so put us on this path. They must get us out or women lose. Big time. I would not blame them for getting violent if that's the voter decision.
