Roe v. Wade overturned -- this is some BS
I don't normally post here, but this scares the crap outta me. I went to sleep in the US, and woke up in Gilead. I believe that this is the top of a greased slope, where rights are going to be under fire at an ever quickening pace (unless it involves guns).
Anyone have a good vetted list of places to donate to help people in trouble because their state has forbidden abortion? |

What women who protest abortion clinics don't seem to understand, is that their own rights are threatened, not just those of the baby murderersTM.
ETA: When you disenfranchise women, all of society suffers, but I guess we're just doomed to keep having to learn things the hard way, over and over. |

You gotta love these morons on the court. Gun violence is a problem. So what do they do? Make the problem worse.
The number of homeless is growing. Resources are limited. And what do they do? Make the problem worse. |

Many companies are providing abortion travel costs for their employees due to R v W being overturned including Disney, Microsoft, Meta, Zillow, Amazon, Dick's Sporting Good, Levi Strauss, JP Morgan, Starbucks, Apple et al.

I saw a couple of these, I didn't realize it was quite that wide spread.
Governor Dip****, of my home state of Missouri, is bragging that we are the first state in the nation to outlaw abortions. I'm contemplating whether it is better to fight or flight. |

Just wait. I give it less than a year before the SCROTUS outlaws abortion nationwide, regardless of state laws. The usual idiots are no doubt preparing suits against states where abortion is legal as we speak.
And then there's C. Thomas, who wants to overturn same sex marriage and outlaw birth control as well. |

Not sure why that bothers you. I'm fine with it. Never mind. I see you are talking about one thread in US politics and one in social issues/current events. I'm neutral but probably it should be one or the other. |

One year seems awfully quick, but it's coming. So we get back to a thread like this one with a poll but on the subject of a federal ban?

No, they won't do that. The court doesn't have that authority. Roe v Wade established that one had a constitutional right to bodily autonomy that couldn't be violated by State's rights. The Constitution doesn’t mention abortion. For abortion to be made illegal in all 50 states would have to be made by bill.

A basic law of politics will come into play:when people find out the ballot box if useless as a means of protest, they will find other means..including the cartridge box if necessary.

Now, nobody should ever say voting doesn't matter. Imagine how different things would be if Hillary had won in 2016.
