Not sure what's so confusing. He's saying if you want a chance to reverse stuff like this, people need to show up and vote for people who are pro choice.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't put it past them. The irony being that it was the republicans that freed the slaves, while the dems wanted to own and later terrorize them via Jim Crow.Not far enough back, they won't stop until they can own people again.
It's a stupid, tactless joke about Democratic inaction. Ignore it.
She's extremely concerned apparently.
In a concurrent opinion, not the main one."we need to revisit the cases that legalized gay marriage" was literally in the scotus opinion for this so, uh, pretty soon, i reckon.
Reddit most likely.Is there a good resource to find local protests in your area? Thanks.
They've literally already said they would be illegal. There's no wondering here. Every time a woman in these states has sex now she's risking her life unless she's had a hysterectomy or was amab.Good point. I wonder how situations of etopic pregnancy will play out.
CNN conflating overturning Roe and the gun reform bill that just passed.
"This is a day of major restrictions."
Those millions of women aren't suddenly taking to twitter.Millions of women who had their autonomy taken from them at birth and maintain that system for the privileges they believe it provides.
At least that's the impression I've had over the years.
Its all to often the response to the horrible shit Republicans do. I can't stand it either. You can try the US Politics thread on the Hangouts side, its a liiiittle bit better.
This is so fucked. Why on earth would an employee need to submit an expense to her employer for a medical procedure?!! Like it's a nice sentiment but no employer should have information on which employees are seeking what medical care.
Can we get some threadmarked or stickied information on Abortion Funds? It's at least a piece of action that can be done today.

NoOr on the contrary, is any blue state considering bans, or under current bans unless revoked?
Why vote? Look at the states that have protections for abortion already in place. Voting at the state and local levels matter just as much, if not more, as every 4 years.
They're not saying they can't do anything until they're re-elected, they're saying they can't do anything until more of them are elected. Which is true.The problem is Democrats ONLY saying go vote in the upcoming election. The people in power, the people doing the messaging and that we elected already, should be saying what they are going to do NOW in response to this. Instead, their message is that "this is the voter's fault" and "we can't do anything until we're re-elected."
They need more people in seats to make passing laws and meaningful change...so yes, voting is what they are calling for.The problem isn't Democrats saying to go vote in the upcoming election.

They, of course, have no motivation to do anything other than be re-elected because they're all in their 60s and 70s and 80s and these sorts of rights don't even really matter to them anymore, but they could ensure their re-election by getting their messaging right.
Even if Congress passes a law SCOTUS can just call it unconstitutional.
SCOTUS can also call state law unconstitutional.
So not sure what's being voted for here. The King Hath Ruled.
I would've thought that Alaska and Kansas, being both red, would also be pro-ban... Can someone from those states confirm if that is so, and how come?
Helpful is you specify where "here" is.

Any other red-state that I'm missing that would allow abortion rights?
Or on the contrary, is any blue state considering bans, or under current bans unless revoked?
As a non-american I'd like to expand my knowledge on the issue and it's consequences at a state level in such a short time seem momentous to me.
I think what everyone here is tacitly admitting is that there is no answer outside of a sweeping change in the power and structure of the Supreme Court. Court packing isn't it.
For one there are Senate seats being voted on that directly affect the ability of Biden to put another judge on the SCOTUS during his term - you know the body that just made that ruling. But, fine, keep being reductionist in your quest maximum defeatism.
Here's the full speech:

She can't do more than she's already done, magic doesn't exist. I get you're angry - send that shit where it deserves to go
