Yep, with all the problems this country has - inflation, energy production, healthcare, lack of affordable cars, infrastructure, housing prices, China, Russia - THIS issue deserves his full attention.

If we ever have a group of mothers in this country who would have aborted if it were legal, we should make a note to poll them, some years down the line, about whether they wish they'd been able to abort. I guess you could also ask the kid, but that wouldn't be fair.

OK, so his 'bold response' is to order a report that tell him how to do this. End of quote. Repeat this line.

It's horseshit and mirrors. Much of the actual stuff concerns PHI and making sure the government keeps close watch on sale of information such as names, addresses, etc.
Joe? That's already illegal. It's that HIPPO law, Joe. You like hippos, don't you? Want one for Christmas?

How about a Fact-check instead of a fact sheet?
WaPo states the 10 year old rape story is extremely difficult to corroborate and points out a couple of potential flaws with the story…

Here’s Jon Stewart and a group of True Believers opining on the ruling.
Link to videoBasically it’s projection about the court having an ideology and working towards a ruling from there. No reflection that that might be what Roe V Wade was.

What to do now?
Stop killing babies.
An apology wouldn't go amiss.

One of the more interesting comments about the ruling is that the basic difference between the "two wings" of SCOTUS is that one wing judges on what the law should be, whereas the other one judges on what the law actually is.
Perhaps an overly simplistic view, but it got my attention.

Up to the legislature to write the law. That ain't the court's job.

OK, so, let's assume that congress passes a law codifying the "right" to abortion.
Would the current 6-3 character of the court overturn that law? My guess is that they wouldn't.

There's a fine line between writing and interpreting.
I would think that how a law is interpreted by the SCOTUS would be thought by some to almost amount to writing it, or rewriting it. -

I don't think they would.

I don’t think you’ll find anywhere in the Roe overturn ruling, any reasoning that could be used to overturn a new law guaranteeing access to abortions.

I imagine the two sides of the court as lawyers arguing cases for their client. Each side of the culture war is a client. Their lawyers on the Supreme Court fashion their constitutional case as well as they can, but the assumption going into it is that they know who their client is, and therefore which side they’re arguing.
Once in a while judges use their prerogative to switch sides on a case, but with cases where progressives want new law to support their ideology, which is what Roe always was, I suspect the divisions will be exactly as predicted.

The Roe overturn shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Texas has already established that pre-born have the same rights as anybody… Full props to this lady,
