Discussion: Trump Says Women May ‘Have To Go To Another State’ To Get Abortions (VIDEO)

The agonizing howls saying “Nooooooooo…” you may be hearing are your socially conservative Evangelical Christian neighbors realizing that Mr. Trump has not even waited until the Electoral College meets to trample their reasons for voting for him.

“Same sex marriage is done”
“Abortion should go back to the states” (rather than being made a Federal crime everywhere after his picks gut Roe v Wade).

It really shows why slick characters like to become preachers and build up their megachurches: the pickings are just too darned easy.

Or after, this is Trump after all. You don’t want a love child on the cover of the Daily News.

Then, when a woman returns to the state she resides in, and someone who knew she was pregnant informs on her, new laws in those anti-abortion states will kick in making it a crime to have had an abortion at all.
[/quote]Yes, and since there is no punishment for the man, see where this is going? Since there is no punishment for the man, a pissed off ex can send his former lover to jail at anytime. So now, women can’t leave or risk the ire of a guy who might use the mistake as a weapon. Men use revenge porn already. Now they’ll have revenge prison terms for their former special gals.

OK, good plan. Scalia never planned on being dead. But, hey, he is dead. RBG had pancreatic cancer. She is 83. She made a big big mistake deciding to wait for Hillary to appoint her replacement.

In the 1960s, my mom had an abortion. She had to go to NY to have the procedure done. It was done.

This is not the end of the world. This makes things more inconvenient.

Plus there is the abortion pill which will be more available either legally or on a black market.

Shorter Trump: “This is about women. Not my problem.”

Not necessarily. GOP could decide to increase the number of justices to 11, 13, 21, whatever it takes. They might also look to impeach Goldberg for her remarks during the election.

Correction: ̶G̶o̶l̶d̶b̶e̶r̶g̶ Ginsburg (doh!)

Removing Ginsburg would take a 2/3 vote in the Senate.

What a great idea. The Rs could PACK THE COURT. Except FDR tried that in 1932. It was shot down by public opinion.

R’s could have run The Giant Planet-Killing Meteor and people would still be complaining about how “she’s a bad campaigner”.

As always, you are 100% wrong.

There’s always Madame Rosa, the psychic with the gold capped tooth, who moonlights as an abortion provider in an alley downtown. “Leaving the country” may be the only option left, and that would be extremely inconvenient. For a man who’s not pregnant, no worries.

Fortunately for you, there’s always whining. You are good at that, also calling other people names. Me, I am just sitting back enjoying the sunshine. Plus contemplating the whining from people like you when they deport the illegals. Gonna be fun. They are also gonna impound all the taco trucks. Oh, so sad, so sad.

I am a 30 year supporter of Planned Parenthood. However, the abortion supporters need to think carefully. Roe may be a dead duck. What then? Find ways to help people get to NY and CA. Also find ways to get the abortion pill.

Just stop whining for goodness sake.

What you call “whining” is what I called scared shitless. Get pregnant, try to find an abortion provider thousand of miles away, and tell me how it goes.

Public opinion is apparently no obstacle. If it were, Trump would not have won the election.

Ginsburg

Doh, and thanks. Pre-coffee…don’t know where that came from!

Good point on the supermajority, but I still wouldn’t put it past them to start proceedings then appoint a second justice while proceedings were ongoing on the basis that she’s in the process of being impeached.

Again. I hate these simplistic FKs. This is not about ‘going to another state’ to have an abortion. This is about the RIGHT OF WOMEN to get CARE in the state they live in. It’s not ‘just’ abortion or even abortion ‘most’ of the time.

Going to be real interesting. Where is Donnie going to find justices willing to overturn Roe but keep gay marriage?

Did your Daddy hit you when you whined?
