I see abortion tourism in the future until it is solidified in the constitution.

as if de facto banning abortions (for everyone who isn't a mistress of some republican scumbag hypocrite) without having to make it law in *current year* hasn't been the playbook in every single red state ever since roe v. wade anyway...

Either that, or if we could at least get folks on the right to actually become sex positive and be concerned with preventing unplanned pregnancy even at 1/50th the level they care about preventing abortion.

It's certainly been on the radar, but previous court compositions made attempts to overturn Roe untenable. Should Trump get another confirmation, then it could actually become viable.

the problem is that the intellectual contagion that has affected his family for generations is now spreading to america. I'm not Catholic but I'm praying for you guys.

It should be noted that overturning Roe v. Wade would not make abortion illegal in the whole country overnight. Most deep-blue states have trigger laws in place which will replace it, and light-blue or purple states also won't ban abortions entirely.

So if anything, it would lead to a small degree of interstate abortion tourism. Like I wrote yesterday, the only women getting the short end of the stick if Roe is overturned are poor women from deep-red states who lack the resources to drive to the next clinic in a neighboring blue state.

What utter horseshit. The median income is skyrocketing.



Every marginal life saved is a victory.

Show me adjusted for inflation.

what i'm saying is while sure, many of the religious extremists want it overturned outright and live in an evangelical theocracy, conservative lawmakers across the country have already done so effectively through measures that make it virtually impossible for poor and working class women to have access to safe and affordable procedures.

her paying lip-service to a woman's right to choose is therefore meaningless. it's what the fundamentalist intelligentsia does while closing women's health clinics and introducing laws to undermine the theoretical right to choose in practice.
