You should read the full decision. It’s quite remarkable.

I can remember male pols talking freely about their wife’s breast cancer (Jerry about Betty, Rockefeller about Happy). It was before there was a name for what they were doing which we know now was mansplaining.

Yes, I read excerpts from it in a different article and the male judge made some excellent points about men making decisions that involve women’s reproductive health that would never affect them personally.

I don’t agree with the law. And personally am pro choice and think a woman should be able to do what she wishes. I also understand the impetus to this type of statement. However to say men cannot make laws relating to women is a bit much. Take that to the extreme. Whites can’t make laws relative to any other race. Any other race can’t make laws relative to whites. Women can’t make laws relative to men. We just voted in a bunch of women with good reason, now they cannot make laws if they effect men? To me this type of hyperbole is wrong. It would mean the three left women on the USSC cannot write a ruling that negatively affects men. It is wrong in my view.

“the genocide of over 20 million African-American children”
The crime of genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race. If Gov. Bryant is concerned about “the genocide of over 20 million African-American children" it is incumbent upon him to identify, charge and prosecute the group that is committing the crime. Given that every abortion is an individual act he must envision a massive conspiracy among African-American women to deliberately and systematically destroy their own race. Quite the active imagination, especially when so many people in his party know the real threat is to white Americans, and white culture, the victims of the white genocide perpetrated by immigrants from shithole countries. As Steve King boldly announced, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”
End of today’s “Fuck the Republicans” rant.

I like the term “forced birther.”

How do you feel about blind people prescribing ophthalmic care? How about celibate clergy proscribing sexual activity? Do you think barbers should write text books for brain surgeons?

We know this, among other things, because they routinely vote to defund prenatal care, and to kill funding for anything that might help actual born infants and toddlers.
Meanwhile, this has one level of appeals to be struck down before it gets to the supreme court. At which point it will likely be upheld. Possibly with a ruling that makes many abortions illegal nationwide.

Not to mention that there is no such things as an unborn child (baby, infant, innocent life, etc.) If it’s a child, it’s already born. If it’s unborn, it’s not a child.

I think the Court will stay with incremental steps. Casey replaced the Roe objective trimester standard with an ambiguous, subjective fetal viability standard. The next step is to replace the Casey fetal viability standard, the ability of a fetus to survive outside the uterus under normal conditions, with the ability of medical science to artificially maintain the fetus outside the uterus. Next step, the fabled test tube baby, at which point the Court can reverse Griswold and say that any form of birth control is illegal.

Hey! That “Martha Get-up” is quite the fashion ‘bomb.’ I can’t wait to be forced to wear those clothes myself.
I wouldn’t say I liked the term but it’s apt.
Just remember, if you’re ever at Jackson’s abortion clinic, you’re within a quarter mile of both fantastic pizza (Pizza Shack!) and fantastic Greek food (Kiefers!).
Basically, two of the three things I actually miss about that dump of state.

The old Barney Frank phrase always comes to mind. They are pro life from conception to birth, after that not so much.

Doctors and other medical professionals are the only people who should contribute to making decisions about women’s’ health care. Not a politician, not a judge, certainly not a Justice of the Supreme Court of either gender. Laws shouldn’t be made on the basis of gender, but the justice system has taken control of these decisions away from women.

It’s in Jackson, and Jackson is both the capital and the biggest city in the state. So, they just haven’t taken it away from enough yet - far too many could walk there if they were really desperate.

Bumper sticker philosophizing - it’s not just a right-wing pastime, unfortunately.

Oh, no, he’s all about protecting black kids. Their health, their rights, their lives, womb to tomb – Mississippi’s famous for that.
Seriously, there’s very little I find more nauseating than the right’s rhetorical game of using black people as a front for their bs arguments.
