Roe Overturned?
-
Aqua is probably right. Reddit/DC sentiment is to expect major protests. Again, not sure what they’ll accomplish other than being cathartic for the “losing side”…
Funny how the pro-choice crowd was fine with the ruling in 1974 but now protests when it doesn’t go their way. Meanwhile, pro-life folks have been dealing with being on the losing side for about the last 50 years.
That being said, I think it’s very appropriate for this type of issue to be legislated at the state level. Its a good example of why we have states in the first place.
Also, Amber Heard is like “yessss, I’m no longer trending”.

Not so much as a hint of outrage at the leak from CNN. Of course they realize the leaker was motivated by leftist tribal righteousness, so it’ll be move along, nothing to see here, regarding the leak itself. All the outrage will be over the decision. Pity.

It will be interesting to see the electoral effects. With Roe/Casey in place, the GOP has tried to pass abortion-limiting laws that poll pretty well, like parental notification and late term stuff.
Without Roe we’ll see a lot of total bans, maybe including rape and incest. Those aren’t broadly popular. It will be interesting to watch.

And, IMO, those are not unreasonable restrictions/requirements. Remember that only about 4 countries have abortion permitted as late into the pregnancy as the United States. Most countries draw the line at 12-14 weeks, iirc.

They're popular in a very vocal minority, and having that kind of a megaphone has an effect. But, as you say, not "broadly," and that's good.
Meanwhile, Roberts is understanably pissed:

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

DON’T let them eat cake.

Don't like it, from either side. It's a blatant political move and in today's climate, we need less politics from the court, not more.
Roe was bad law and should have been struck down years ago. But let people read the decision when it comes out, and then move forward.

Those are probably errors introduced by optical character recognition.

So, they've got the crowds already. I think the final decision is really going to be the thing to watch, though. My guess is, that's when it might get stupid.
There are a lot of protesters out there right now with signs that say, "HANDS OFF OUR VAGINAS." Isn't that literally what this decision will lead to?
