There is absolutely no appetite for any kind of justice system reforms. None of these people are going to be removed from their seat by Congress, and they do not have to worry about the ire of voters. People can stomp their feet all the want, but the reality is that they will face no repercussions for a bad ruling. While I agree with you in principle, the last thing we want is to dare this court to do something knowing full well that they will suffer no consequences if they decide to say “challenge accepted.”
This case petrifies me because there is a non-zero chance that they go back to their “Nuke it and everything remotely close to it” approach to rulings, leading to anything from a total ban on abortion meds to a total ban on abortion. Or at the very least, giving the anti-abortion crowd even more ammunition to use in support of a nationwide ban.
Can you imagine how much protesting we’d have if we were French? I worry Americans will just take anything the government tells us to, as long as we get to keep guns.
They’re never going to be able to enforce it and I don’t think its ever going to be non-trivial to link the abortion pill as the nexus to the body’s natural abillity to abort the fetus itself absent any input from the pregnant-ee
Itsno different than one of their Quatarded natural homeopathic remedies
Edit: i almost welcome it because then the DEA has to start enforcing it and EVERYONE (not just the lowly but also the comfortable and professional) has to experience directly retarted drug policy for themselves. The DEA should not exist, Jefferson rolls in his grave daily absent his beloved opium poppies
See, that’s part of what we’re afraid of, and indeed has already happened. Women who simply miscarried could be assumed to have purposely aborted somehow.
It’s already happening. There are calls on the right to prosecute women who miscarry, charging them with manslaughter.
At least one woman, Brittany Watts, is already under arrest. She miscarried into her toilet and flushed. She was arrested and her toilet taken apart to get “evidence.” She’s charged with attempted abuse of a corpse.
If the abortion bans are upheld, the next step is banning miscarriages. Of course, this happens to women naturally - without any action on their part. Still, women will be subjected to criminal investigations to see what they did to “cause” the miscarriage (“you took one sip of wine! Guilty!”), what they did after the miscarriage (“you miscarried at 15 weeks and didn’t bury the body in a coffin in a cemetery! Guilty!”), or anything else. Obviously, the rich and powerful will be spared from this scrutiny, but the middle class and poor women? They’ll be harassed. Especially if they happen to not be white. (“Double Guilty!!!”)
These women need to stop voting for their fave family-values friendly politicians and start growing a pair. I’m tired of hearing about women who only start complaining when it starts affecting them. This selfishnesss needs to be aborted like 100 years ago
I think what you said about the burial and coffin(casket?) is important too, that’s a logical next step in forcing Christianity on people who don’t practice it. You will bury your dead, and a pastor will be there or you’ll pay dearly- type vibe.
No.
No, no, no, no, no. A thousand times, FUCKING NO.

I think what the person you’re replying to may be implying is that the people may respond with means other than the law.
The fact that we haven’t yet makes me feel like a trump dictatorship is inevitable.

I can’t see that as truly feasible but you’re very correct to bring it up as the next oncoming show of depravity

I’m afraid the folks on the right won’t allow that, either. No hormones for you!
Touché
