SCOTUS overturns Roe megathread (pg 53 - confirmed)

[7,052,770]

This madness is coming to every state if we don't vote Democratic in November 2022 and November 2024.

If you disagree with me and think it's good and proper to have a national "no exceptions" ban on abortion, fair enough, but I don't want to hear a word of complaint in 2025 from people who failed to vote for pro-choice/Democratic candidates, regardless of their reason.

The abortion occurred in 2018.  The suit was filed in 2020 and is still ongoing.

These doctors are terrified that a prosecutor and jury who just don't understand medicine very well will send them to long-term jail. We're in for a rough decade or more.

remember blue avatars -- you're getting everything you voted for, and more. scores and scores of expectant mothers bleeding out.

It would be nothing short of karma this happened to the child of every so-called pro-life Republican. Let them suffer the same way this woman did because of their choices they inflicted on her, may they be inflicted on themselves in kind.

Go ahead and turn this about oh Badger you're such a vicious person. If you support any abortion laws that require any results in this, the fundamental failing is a human being is yours and yours alone.

To me this seems that either more clear laws, better lawyers or most likely both are needed. Tbh I am extremely surprised at stories like that foa a variety of reasons; most notably that even when abortion was illegal here, any doctor that was even remotely reasonable would have given a woman in such a situation an abortion.

Now that I think about it, you know all those left wing states trying to position themselves as "abortion havens" or whatever? If they actually wanted to help, they should probably make it so any doctor that ends up in a trial in a state where abortion is illegal, gets a medical license on their state and help with relocation.

That would probably not be much consolation to the doctor if they were found guilty and imprisoned in the first state.

This is what you post right after an article comes out about a woman who nearly died because an abortion ban forced doctors to intervene only at the last minute? Not a good look!

Once the doctor is on trial, it's too late. They would be well advised to leave the state immediately upon performing the life-saving abortion and hope to make it to a blue state on time.

Yes, clearly only hyperpartisans care about one of the landmark Supreme Court decisions in American history.

I would say it’s #4 or 5 after Dredd Scott, Plessy, Marbury, and Brown

That is what I’m saying! They should also be willing to help patients move, too. I understand that there are practical and social limitations but still many would benefit.

I get that for whatever reason you like to think of yourself as the most "in-touch" person on Atlas, but this is a major blind spot for you. Pro-life or pro-choice, normal people do care about abortion.

This is the biggest Supreme Court decision of the last few decades. It's not a two-week news cycle, bro.

People heard "it's the economy, stupid" once and immediately declared themselves political savants who think they know better than everyone else because economic issues are the only issues that could possibly matter and "social issues" (read: any issue that predominantly affects anyone other than straight white dudes) are a meaningless distraction.

[Hermit For Peace]

Speaking of the fallout of the overturn of Roe, I've been reading horror stories about what some women are going through because of this decision. I wrote before that it's obvious that the people who are behind this backwards slide in time haven't really thought this thing through (or they just don't care.)

I am very saddened to see real live women and girls having to go through real life-threatening burdens because of this decision. And it appears that the group backing the decision are just getting started. It's disheartening to see the authoritarian hammer coming down not only on abortion rights but it's actually coming true that other rights are starting to be threatened as well.

Don't tell me it's not a war on Women when you propose crap like this.

This sounds like shariah law. Imagine being racist against Republicans the same way that they are racist to Middle Eastern people.

[Vincent]

The right has been arguing that "health of mother" exceptions are simply not necessary and are just a loop hole for elective abortions. McCain infamously placed "health of mother" in air quotes during an '08 debate with Obama.
