It just leaked.

Looks like they aren't wasting any time getting ready.....

This is a wake up call to feminists....

Fucking 10 men in a row is not "empowering".

Turning feminism into a trans movement was not "progressive".

Time to get back to real issues before you lose everything.

They're starting to sound like "insurrectionists." I'm sure we'll hear why this is different ... *abortion will still be legal in America, btw. It doesn't ban it.*

Another leak says Roberts isn't going along with it, but will back a 15 week ban. But one thing is clear, someone is in DEEEEEP shit.

It will be legal in "blue states".

It's a huge step in turning the US into a blue/red dystopia. We were already on the way there...this will take us over the cliff.


The culture wars are entering a dark and unprecedented stage.

It also has the potential to backfire massively. Republicans get abortions too.

It opens the door for a lawsuit to actually make it settled. It would cause everyone to answer "when does life start" as scientific fact. Neither side really wants to answer that. You cannot say life begins at conception or that a mass of goo is life. You also cannot deny that a fully formed fetus is not a life.

That's probably why I would have left it.  That's one question most people don't want to answer.  I mean the extremists on both sides probably have their answers ready (and have for some time).  But most moderates ?

Also I don't really think most people know what the "answer" is since you can make a case for either side/answer.

It could affect blue and purple suburbs that were trending Republican. Like Virginia.

I say make it law. But again, you'd have to define "life." And the crazies who would gladly lose an election for wedge issue won't want to do that. Pro lifers, imo, at least the zelouts, are a far bigger threat to civil liberties.

Or…you can look at these justices who are putting their personal religious beliefs into the law.

It’s pretty disgusting the justices Trump put there get to rewrite everything.

It’s also a shame that people like you get to point at the trans people over and over again and blame them for everything.

This right here is why i just can’t bring myself to vote for a Republican. Religious aspects of our control continuously get shoved down our throat. These people are disgusting hypocrites….‘we’re pro-life’ until it comes time to feed, shelter and protect your future.

I hope it drives up turnout. This is an illegitimate Supreme Court erasing laws that have been around for a very long time just because.

The court’s approval, already very low, will sink even further and of course none of them give a shit because of the life time appointments. And the great thing is none of them will have to justify any of this to anyone.

The law of the land is now more religious than ever.
