SCOTUS overturns Roe megathread (pg 53 - confirmed)

[Middle-aged Europe]

In general I believe that this forum is way too male to actually discuss abortion in any meaningful manner, but alas.

It's not so much the end to Roe v. Wade itself that's worrisome. "States' rights" are at least in theory fine. It's the fact that a few U.S. states have now stricter abortion laws than Saudi Arabia as a result... and that's not even an exaggeration. Which means the political polarization of America is being transformed into the beginnings of a balkanization, a phenomenon which could even be further deepened if the Supreme Court starts to axe LGBTIQ rights next (something I hadn't thought possible previously, but what I have come to expect now).

bro do the republicans not realize they've basically gone commie? for them there's no longer a "my body" it's "our body"

If you believe a fetus is a life then you have to support banning abortion pretty much though.

Possible death penalty slippery slope detected.

Yup, time to take the gloves off.

You can get rid of the filibuster altogether for all I care. Then abortion is legalized nation-wide, followed by a nation-wide ban on abortion as soon as the GOP takes control of Congress, followed by a nation-wide re-legalization of abortion when the Dems are back in charge, and so on.

This would either truly lead to the Second American Civil War or it would showcase the ridiculous state of American politics to everyone so people would finally come to their senses in the end. Either way the gridlock would be broken.
