    Sure you want to move on because you have been busted. Go ahead and run away.

    So what? It doesn't help the rape victims that lefties want partial birth abortions.

    I'm pro abortion, however, in this case, the plan B is the most logical thing to do to ensure it doesn't happen. Secondly, if their state doesn't allow it, travel to a state that does. No one is being forced to do anything. Another thing, you're bringing up something that is a tiny fraction of abortions and running hard with it.

    They always do that. This person starts talking about rape as soon as abortion is mentioned.

    This Rasmussen poll is junk. The far greater majority wanted abortion to be legal.

    Where's it not legal or do you think it will end up illegal?

    Sorry but I'm not sure of what you are asking. Some states have already made it illegal.

    I agree, plan b should be required by law in every rape hit, that would reduce the need for medically induced abortions

    but if that fails or is not offered, abortion should still be an option

    The ruling has nothing to do with abortion beyond saying it is not a Federal matter.

    Which is the correct ruling.

    Federalism gives everyone choices. The left's dreamed of top-down, centralized authority does not.

    The United States was founded as a Federal Republic.

    Not a democracy, not democratic republic, not any of your dreamed up, slight of hand definitions.

    You may not like other people living a life that you or the government does not approve of, but that's tough - that's liberty.

    And that's why the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v Wade in the first place - because some states were curtailing a woman's rights
    and privileges (in defiance of the 14th Amendment) and the laws against abortion were being applied unequally - only the poor
    were being targeted while the middle class and upper class was not - and because enforcement could only be investigated by
    FORCING an American citizen to undergo a pelvic exam (which back then was not performed under the most sanitary
    conditions.

    You may think that subjecting women to such exams is just fine under your definition of "liberty" but I call bull crap.

    I can see why they changed their ruling because the 14th shouldn't have anything to do with it.

    Section 1
    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    Section 2
    Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

    Section 3
    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    Section 4
    The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

    Section 5
    The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

    The decision to overturn was 5-4

    Rasmussen is a statistical outlier.

    If your “news” source cannot even determine the correct ruling for a fairly large supreme court case I would argue they’re not very legitimate at all, which makes for a great source for you.

    Do you believe it is just for any American woman to be treated as livestock and forced to have her rapists baby? Even a small percent?

    True. It was no secret this economic destruction was going to happen. It was obvious, all but guaranteed, and everyone was warned well ahead of time. Millions and millions of Americans didn't believe it and even though they're living the ruin they've brought upon themselves, millions and millions still either cant see it or cant accept it. But enough have, and more still every day, and that's why everyone is expecting a red tsunami.

    Can Republicans stop pretending this is about states' rights and the constitution.

    Republicans have repeatedly allowed the unconstitutional doctrine of police qualified immunity to run amok on states' rights.

    It is about states rights and the constitution. And no one On the right is for anything unconstitutional.

    Which means 50% disapprove and that disapproval is very very likely to increase as young women start dying

    Keep in mind that results of polls very much depend on how a poll question is asked

    And why not?
    upload_2022-6-30_17-4-58.png

    The real question remains - why does the Republican Party not address one of the essential reasons for abortion? Not hard to fix - free reliable long acting contraception, paid maternity leave, child support, free or at least subsidised child care etc etc etc

    I keep thinking that this ruling has put the Republican Party into the same position as the dog that caught the car :p
