The Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade this summer.
That spells a very different future for abortion clinics, depending on where they are in the country.
A dying animal is panicking, in a rage to survive.
It resorts to massive legislated violence to hold on to its precious evil fantasies.
The Pro-Life animals describe the Pro-Abortion people in that way.
In reality, the Pro-Lifers are that fear-struck animal,
Gorsucks and the Bony Carrot are their vehicles to their Eden, which may well actually be their Armageddon. And if so, they aint “goin’ up!!”
Living in MO I always found Kansas interesting in that it had more abortion clinics than here. And over the years has MO’s number of clinics reduced to one, Kansas’ didn’t.
“Pro Life”? Nope, they are simply Anti Choice. Let’s call a spade a spade.
So many existential issues for us. The lackadaisical approach we used to have in the so-called Off Year Elections is going to have to change.
There should be no complaining about this:
At least we still have a system in which we can vote these people out of office
As many commenters at TPM have predicted for years, those with money will just go to places like Illinois for a safe and legal abortion. Illinois is a blue dot in a sea of reactionary anti women states. Those without the means to travel will suffer. (The cruelty is indeed the point). While funds will exist to help some of the needy, many will needlessly suffer.
I am a thankful I live in Chicago, and pity those women living just across the state/city line in the Indiana suburbs or an hour north in Wisconsin. They live under right wing theocratic regimes, with Wisconsin being the most egregious since the heavily gerrymandered state legislature doesn’t even remotely represent the electorate.
There’s no sugar coating it. This sucks.
his association alone will be planning more than 70 “celebration rallies” at court houses, state capitols and abortion clinics
Time for protest rallies outside of churches on Sundays.
The Fed needs to give every woman pregnable a machine gun and a thousand rounds to defend a potential fetus.
That bill would pass this afternoon.
The point. That is a bit of Frank Luntz propaganda language that has been around for quite a while, and it has been endlessly frustrating to see it frequently being mouthed by people without thinking about what it actually means.
Maybe now that the pro-life crowd succeeded in shutting down the abortion clinics, they can now direct their energies in doing the same to gun shops.
No reason not to photograph and dox those anti-choice Talibangelicals.
Oh yes, and remind them that Dems carry, also.
I’m not sure, post-Roe, why non-profits are expected to shoulder this entire burden by themselves – especially given the incredible support among the overwhelming majority of Americans. After all, from a purely capitalist point of view, one in four women represents a pretty lucrative market.
So, which of America’s venture capitalists and/or philanthropists are going to back IPOs for startup chains of women’s health-clinics across America – where it’s still legal, of course – along the lines of the Jiffy Lube or In-N-Out Burger models?
(And then, of course, the transportation, child-care, and other largely-overlooked logistics required for America’s women, red state or blue, to make use of them.)
Anybody willing to invest in good, old American ingenuity at the service of free-market economics, consumer demand, and (of course) a damned good cause?
I see this as a part of separation of state and religion. Freedom of religion does not mean that one can force their beliefs on others especially with the force of the government behind it. Over the past few decade or so, SCOTUS has granted special privileges to Christians and are posed to add even more. I know what racism and sexism is but what is bigotry based on religion?
He said would only consider other Christians.
Queer Christian says
So what are these piss-addled rejects going to do? Sing that “good bye!” chant? How long can that go on? If a clinic no longer provides this service after the 48-year old legal right is revoked by the Fascist Five, well, whaddya gonna do now? What purpose is there going to these clinics any more?
Why am I thinking “bombs away!!!”??
Gonna be a lot of dead wives and girlfriends. I think.
It’s tough being a slave of the state. When someone else determines what your choices are. That does not comport with what I understood to be a GOP fundamental value. … personal freedom. I guess those were just words that had no meaning and were intended solely to attract votes and nothing more.
Bwwwwwwaaaaaaahahaha
The foundation of the Enlightenment idea of freedom is the right to be left alone, anything called freedom has to have that as its heart, or it’s a lie. The central argument in Roe was exactly that, it codified that essence implied in the founding documents into law, at long last.
The foundation of fascism is lying. About anything and everything.
The Radical Racist Reactionary Party and its followers do nothing but lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie.
Pro forced birth is more like it. It’s sick, and entirely religiously based, thus should form no basis of our laws.
