SCOTUS overturns Roe megathread (pg 53 - confirmed)

[Skill and Chance]

Florida is kind of an interesting case because it has a ton of cheap flights to places like New York, Chicago and California. So not much it can do to keep women from heading out to there.

Of course that's really only convenient for women in South Florida, Orlando and the Tampa Bay area. Out in rural Florida that's still a hassle.

Florida also has an explicit right to privacy in the state constitution, which is probably encouraging restraint.

Arizona also only did 15 weeks so far despite an R trifecta, probably due to the significant libertarian influence there.

How far from the coastline could an abortion boat (à la Women on Waves) operate without being within the jurisdiction of a U.S. state?

200 miles. My guess is that it would only really work for Texas but then again, I think Nuevo Laredo has legalized abortion sooo...

Nope.  It's 3 nautical miles (a nautical mile is about 15% larger than a statute mile), except for Texas, the Gulf Coast of Florida, and Puerto Rico, where it's 9 nautical miles.

I guess the 200 is for federal waters only.

It's obvious from context that Mr. Reactionary is talking about legal justifications for these rulings and not whether the outcomes constitute good policies in themselves.

He is being dishonest. He does not care about the legal justification, he opposes the outcomes.

A nice touch but people who work for JPMorgan Chase aren't really the people for whom such travel would be economically unviable.

Anyone who supports this ruling must now adopt all the babies which result from unwanted pregnancies.

Own the decision with the same vigor you have in praising it.

[President Johnson]

What the heck, this actually happened? I know it was out there and shouldn't be much of a surprise, though I still had hope it may not occur. Welcome back to the 1950s!

The only thing that really accomplishes is that poor women in red states can no longer afford abortions. If you make enough money, it's still possible to go a blue state or Canada. This is just cruel and makes no sense other than scoring political points.

I mean you know that the company isn't literally just a bunch of bankers and executives right? This would include bank tellers, janitors, etc.

He should have pressured Ginsburg to retire in 2013/14.

She and Biden-Collins voters in Maine at least deserve some blame for this as well.

 I knew a lot of middle class and working class people, including women who worked in banking/finance in NYC. It's one of the biggest employers in the city.

It would be fun to start a charity to move as many women as possible out of right-to-life states just to see how they deal with having a weird gender ratio.

He didn't want to be viewed as the "angry Black guy" and cared more about his own legacy than accomplishing much of anything.

Nonsense.  There are thousands and thousands of employees there who are at best middle class.  Sure, they could probably get by paying for it, but it’d put a lot of economic strain on them.

Scientists have recently discovered that, unlike immigrants, infants are actually incapable of finding jobs and therefore need to be supported by someone. This is due to the fact that they are extremely small and are frequently unable to walk or speak intelligibly. The more you know!

[Dr. Frankenstein]

Well, there's only one conclusion. That 235-year-old document you hold so dear is in dire need of a 21st century-worthy replacement. Preferably with a provision stating that you must revisit it at least once every few decades. And while you're at it, make sure your highest court cannot be populated by partisan hacks and that their tenure is limited to 10-15 years max.

I am afraid that the alternative would be an uncontrolled descent into total chaos.

Like the elderly. Or some people with disabilities. How far down that road do you want to go.

Solo opinion? In other words there's no political appetite to repeal ssm.

Doesn't make today any less despicable.

If you don't think that some deep south states were other far-right states like Idaho or the like will chomp at the bit to attempt passing laws repealing same-sex marriage to try to get OB p e r f e l l repealed, probably within the next year, I think you're being far too naive.

And all we have to rely on is the Hope, a 50-50 chance at best, that Justice Gorsuch will not distinguish his largely textualist decision MBA stock with the opinion he joined in Hobbs which, notwithstanding the Clarion call issued by Taliban Thomas, clearly lays a Legal Foundation for repealing o b g e r f e l l along with yes Lawrence and other cases

Won't a lot of these bans be mostly ineffective since most cities have Democratic DAs who aren't going to enforce any bans?
