A Michigan judge Wednesday struck down a state abortion ban still on the books from 1931, finding that it violates the due process and equal protection clauses of the Michigan constitution.
This is going to get appealed on the basis of word spacing.
Court of Claims Judge Elizabeth Gleicher is going to go through some things.
Judge Knocks Down Michigan’s 1931 Abortion Ban, Saying That It Denies Women Of Their ‘Dignity’
The decision will likely be appealed.
On the grounds that women are not allowed their own dignity.
Somethings need to be repeated as it really does nail the true issue and what is at stake:
“As any woman who has experienced pregnancy and delivery knows, the process is utterly transformative of every bodily function,”
“The law also controls her ability to be the mother she wants to be,” she writes. “The statute not only compels motherhood and its attendant responsibilities; it wipes away the mother’s ability to make the plans she considers most beneficial for the futures of her existing or desired children.”
How I interpret Judge Gleicher’s comments above is what is at stake is women’s rights to plan their lives like men do and otherwise be equal to men under the law.
Or their own lives, liberties or their own pursuit of happiness. You know, those Constitutional things.
Wading through all the Gloom, I gather that this judge’s decision was the desired outcome for her.
Michigan proud!
Crawling back into his abyss. Give this man a microphone every single day.
One step at a time, one foot in front of the other, state by state. That’s how equal rights under the law will be re-established.
Would get anything he/she wants every day in our house.
Something else to think about, and arising directly from these particular comments that you quoted: Can you imagine the average male judge saying these things?
This is what they meant when they said appointing women to the bench would result in an expanded perspective within the judiciary, that has wisdom and experience behind it, the equal of any others. Why diversity matters.
Precisely the RW strategy to eliminate equal rights.
Yep haha…it’s amazing. “Festival like setting”? Because showing up for a “half-assed speed-physicals for poor people day” wouldn’t be at all stigmatizing and humiliating for the patients and just screams for a carnival-esque atmosphere?
ETA: it really does highlight that these fucks just don’t see others people as human beings…fundamentally incapable of it.
Too nice for his own good.
And “here’s your cancer diagnosis, maybe move to a decent country and have that treated.”
Oz is a monster.
Maybe take over a stadium for the day. Do some colonoscopies up on diamond vision. Go nuts!
