      Amazon said they'd reimburse travel for employees who need certain kinds of medical procedures.

      Uber and Lyft already pay legal fees for employees in Texas who get sued for having an abortion.

      Please love yourself.

        Did Schumer get his vote yesterday?

        If it’s legislated on a National level, there are two possible outcomes:

        1. Our abortion laws ping pong every 4-6 years as Congress passes hands between the two parties or….

        2. We become a single issue nation with our National Elections based on the marketing war between pro-life and pro-choice advocates.

          They could but they’d have to read the definition of when life begins into the constitution.

          They’d also seem fairly ridiculous after having just written 60 pages on why the issue belongs in the democratic process.

            In France: "Several reforms took place in the 21st century, further liberalizing access to abortion. The ten-week limit was extended to the twelfth week in 2001, and it was extended to fourteen weeks in 2022. Also since 2001, minor girls no longer need mandatory parental consent. A pregnant girl under the age of 18 may ask for an abortion without consulting her parents first if she is accompanied to the clinic by an adult of her choice, who must not tell her parents or any third party about the abortion. Until 2015, the law imposed a seven-day "cool-off" period between the patient's first request for an abortion and a written statement confirming her decision (the delay could be reduced to two days if the patient was getting close to 12 weeks). That mandatory waiting period was abolished on 9 April 2015."

            France is still more restrictive than Florida, LOL.

                Interesting speculation from David French-

                Alito would have been assigned to write it by Thomas. Why would Thomas not write it himself? Perhaps he’s writing a concurring opinion stating abortion should be outlawed nationwide under the 14th amendment.

                    The USA is generally more conservative than Western Europe when it comes to sex. For instance, here in the USA we still cannot show uncovered sexual organs on public television.

                                  Wouldn't overturning Roe be pretty bad for the GOP? Wouldn't many moderates be drawn back to the left?

                                    It’s a net loser for the GOP electorally. Although polling is very sensitive to phrasing, it can be safely said that most people are uncomfortable with abortion in general but want it to be legal in early stages. Outright bans are going to be unpopular and the edge cases (e.g. rape victims, doomed pregnancies etc forced to carry to term) are going to get a lot of play in the media.

                                      Yes, that's what I'd also assume. Some strict "pro-life"'s would be happy, but they would have voted for the GOP anyway.

                                      If I were the GOP, I'd consider to now take a "abortion legal within first trimester, afterwards only in very restricted set of circumstances (danger to the life of the mother etc.)" middle ground. They'd be the voice of reason.

                                        I think what Jon may be missing, is that it isn't going to matter a lot in the blue states or much in the red states. Purple states will be where things are the most contentious.

                                        And while it certainly will be an issue, I think the economy will override it as the driving force in contested districts.

                                          It’s a net loser for the GOP electorally. Although polling is very sensitive to phrasing, it can be safely said that most people are uncomfortable with abortion in general but want it to be legal in early stages. Outright bans are going to be unpopular and the edge cases (e.g. rape victims, doomed pregnancies etc forced to carry to term) are going to get a lot of play in the media.

                                          Agree. Look at the Fox News poll posted earlier in this forum thread. Over 60% were said to favor the Supreme court taking no action. I think that Fox News generally is more conservative, so a pretty reliable number I think on an issue like this.
