brucoe Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It's looking more and more like they're going to overturn Roe v Wade this time or soon after. Republicans have been vying for this for decades, and they've now set the stage for how it can actually happen. After this, they'll start going after quite a few civil liberties, because, well, that's just something they do, almost as if they don't have a choice, and most definitely don't care about who they burn along the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 So once Roe gets overturned, do we think the GOP is going to be able to keep using abortion to fire up its base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Quote Chief Justice Roberts suggests that the bright-line rule established in Roe and Casey—no total abortion bans before fetal viability—was completely arbitrary. It sounds to me like he is ready to abolish the viability line. Ohhhhh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 The fetishization of the need to be seen as moderate is equal to the idea of the need to be seen as non-racist, regardless of the actual racism (or moderation on issues). It really goes back to the British ideas around polite society and being seen as proper (regardless of actions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chollowa Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The thing I don't get about conservatives is that they spend all of their time screaming at the top of their lungs about how persecuted they are, and how this nation is trending towards socialism, but for at least the last 20 years they have won on almost every big cultural issue. With the current composition of the SC, they're going to continue winning for years to come. In 3 years, when Trump wins a 2nd term, you'll have Thomas retire and Breyer leave the court as well. The court will go like 7-2 full conservative, that plus the redistricting they get to do because they own Statehouse majorities means they get the whole damn ballgame. I've never been happier to live in California and I say this after just having opened up an email about homes for sale that showed me an $700k home in a not so desirable neighborhood.

Any time the words "forcing a woman to" begins at the start of a sentence, you're advocating for something that should never have become law. But America has never been about being concerned with a woman's perspective. And I suspect, we never will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
