The USA is in dire need of an overhaul of its entire political/legal system at this point. The SCOTUS being an extension of party politics is straight-up embarrassing in a democratic country where we should expect the highest judicial body to objectively uphold the rule of law. Do not get me started on the forced nationalism, conservatism and Founding Fathers-fetish that feeds into the thought that a 300-year old document drafted up by some slave-owning white supremacist bunch should permanently be seen as said law. What's that other ancient document that conservatives love to cling to in order to justify the persecution of minorities? Oh right.
I could write a dissertation on all of this but at the moment I'm having a hard time forming a coherent sentence. I just feel way too many different things right now. I'm angry, scared, disappointed, frustrated and in disbelief and it's driving me up the wall.

Honestly I think it's too early for it to make a material dent in the polls. If this HAD to happen, it would've been ideal to drop in September or something.

Are we seriously giving benefit of the doubt to that fucking ghoul?
She twisted her words in order to get through the question. Everyone knew she was full of shit at the time. We had an entire thread about it on here.
UK brother checking-in here. Shed a tear or two reading the news today. This judgement is pure evil and the outlook regarding other issues doesn't look so great either.
Sending wishes of solidarity to you guys. I fear we are not too far behind here. We also have suffered greatly in recent years under right wing fuckers who couldn't give a shit about the average person.

I'll admit even I said at one point that the GOP didn't need to overturn the filibuster.
But at this point, the moment they reclaim the trifecta you know they'll overturn that shit and make all those "states rights" SCOTUS issues into federal law so blue states get hit with the same thing.
I'm not giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'm saying that in the actual quote she specifically says that Roe is not settled.
Did Pennsylvania make the list of "real states"!?
...
Ahhhh! Fuck, it didn't. Damn.
People didn't want to take the fascist threat seriously. The only way to stop them was to gas them like bed bugs.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, but instead all the hand wringing and nannying over bogus purity tests did was allow the infestation to grow and spread.
She lied by omission. They all did
If they can force you to carry a baby, what else can they force you to do in Arkansas?
.
I do have some doubt they'll get rid of the filibuster, because they can achieve many of their political goals through judicial review, and it justifies the Dems going to a 50 vote threshold where they have a much more ambitious agenda.
But I've been wrong as hell before, so who knows
An utterly sad, dark and grim day for America. Regressed over 50 years overnight. Seriously fuck anyone who stayed home in 2016. This is a sole consequence of voting Trump. This is the long game Republicans have been playing for decades, and anyone who voted Republican is fault in this happening.
I know, as said, isn't helpful, just angry wishful thinking :(
I think the majority of the country supports that time limit so it probably won't be turning any heads.
Seriously. Immigration is very difficult and very costly. Hell, even moving out of a red state can be near impossible for a lot of people.
It's incredibly not helpful...how many people do you think have the means to do this? When simply moving out of a state/city/township/etc is highly unlikely for many, telling them to up and move out of the country is laughable.
Scary thing is 50 years is chump change. We're shooting for 160-year regressions.
I am now 100% for separation movements. I am pretty much done with this country.
And this is just the beginning of what will happen - there will be more coming.
Just have open trade, open borders, but have states govern themselves or something like that.
Mutual separation would be the most peaceful way of dealing with all this.
The USA is done.
How do people feel about a giant compromise bill that totally blocks states from implementing any restrictions or limitations on first trimester abortions but largely bans them from the second trimester on while protecting critical exceptions, and allowing blue states to interpret those exceptions broadly as in many European countries?
I guess it probably wouldn't pass, but I'm curious if that would be reasonable.
That sounds like a good way to get Republicans elected (who will then ban it outright) by destroying Democratic base support for the Dems
There should be no compromise on this. Republicans will not compromise in good faith. It just puts their end goal a little closer to reality.
Yuuuuuup. "Just move!" is not a helpful solution or idea to share. Would love to! But literally can't. And there's no guarantee the place you're recommended to move to won't go down the crazy conservative path.
Then work on a bill and get it passed motherfucker
It sucks but it's better than what SCOTUS did which is completely ban abortion in tons of states as of today
So from what I've been told by my partner, the moment the decision was revealed, the supreme court had both an army of Riot police in full armour and snipers overseeing the court,
If that is accurate, it's confirmed they find women more dangerous than white men nationalists storming the capital. That is depressing.
Combined that with Dems expecting to lose the house in November and women's bodily autonomy is fucked.
I believe my country (United Kingdom,) should now consider offering asylum to women seeking abortions from the USA to put pressure.

There should never be any "compromise" when it comes to basic human rights.
Ever.
Especially when you have them talking about going after same Sex Marriage and sexual activities.
?
He's not talking about forcing red states to undo full abortion bans
He's talking about forcing blue states to ban at 15 weeks

‘We will fight like hell’: California reacts to Supreme Court’s decision
Though abortion will remain legal in California, residents across the state expressed outrage at the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe vs. Wade.

Ummm....you need to reread that.
Fucking what?
How so? I was literally trying to understand the comment
It really cannot not be so unfathomable that there are folks so disenfranchised by this country who've understandably become nihilistic or apathetic about voting. You're really gonna get them out to the polls by completely ignoring those facts and blaming them for this country being a shit hole.
