Will not help anything. This Supreme Court doesn't care about what the majority wants.

it never even made it of *committee*
Someone's going to try to drag people back into a state by force and it'll cause a new Dred Scott
Some states - like here in Wisconsin - have old laws on the books banning abortion (ours is from the 1840s) that went back into effect! Many have triggers on the books to ban it the minute Roe was overturned.
Fuck the United States of America. Fuck this third world nation. Fuck the Republicans for being monsters, and Fuck the Democrats for sitting on their ass these past 50 years. Women's rights are human rights, and these fuckers just voted to slash them. It's horrifying and I feel bad for all the women stuck in that shithole of a country that now have their lives and lively hoods just put at risk.
This ruling will kill women. This ruling will lead to unwanted children and a wave of child abuse. This ruling is fucked.

legitimately what are the states united by? the name United States just doesn't work anymore, if the list of federal things is so small and can't be adjusted
Even if it somehow passed the Senate 100-0 this Supreme Court would strike it down.
Yikes. My condolences to all the women out there, it's going to be a shitty weekend.
What's their thought process on Sterelization? Cause I'm betting we're going to see a boost in numbers and I'm sure sooner or later that's going to another "problem to solve" by our dear leaders 🙄

Unless I just forgot, as its been quite a while now, there was a ruling saying he couldn't.
I'm hearing this a lot, but how likely is it enforceable? With driving between states completely unrestricted, what's stopping someone just visiting elsewhere and, so long as they keep their mouths shut, return home after happening to visit a doctor?
Oh but i do have empathy and I think there some good even in the united states just not the majority. The US have brought a lot of suffering to themselves but even worse to others and mostly just for greed and a lust for power. So yeah i'm sorry for the good people who are suffering but that country is rotten to the core and still has too much influence on the global scene.
Ironically enough you can do the same thing here. It is grounds for asylum (at least right now).
IIRC, states like Missouri have or are planning to implement Texas style "bounty hunter" laws where civil lawsuits can be brought against people who had or facilitate an abortion.
One thing that I don't see brought up much is how corrosive this type of enforcement could be in communites. Any woman who loses a pregnancy for whatever reason is going to be looking over their shoulder wondering if a neighbor or coworker is going to accuse them of having an abortion. Same goes for anyone connected; if that woman confides with another person about a pregnancy and then goes have an abortion, is that person going to need to be worried about getting dragged into a lawsuit and have to prove they didn't give them pro-abortion advice?
I can potentially see woman's health and pregnancy in general becoming toxic topics really fast
I'm sorry that this decision was the direct result of the 2016 election. I also didn't mention people who voted her. I mentioned people who didn't, hence the "Sticking it to hillary" comment. I don't know why you're so defensive about a comment I didn't make.
You stupid worthless fuck, Manchin. I hope you never sleep a full night again for the rest of your fucking life.
He and Collins can all go *pikachu face* for all the good this lamentation is.
So this is pretty much it? Abortion will never be legal again until the people currently on the Supreme Court die?
i hope we never stop giving Susan Collins shit. Fuck her!
Fuck you Manchin! You and sinema can do something about it.
I really hope this is a wake up call to everyone including Sinema, Manchin and any voter who is on the fense this November. This is full on war, these fuckers are not playing games.
GOP has been on this for decades, voting, lobbying, grooming candidates and using every dirty trick in the book. It's time Democrats do the same.

Republicans would need a supermajority in the Senate, which isn't going to happen.
"they do nothing, but raise awareness of other people who do even less" uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
LMAO.
The GOP would need the Executive Branch and both Houses.
Don't think so.
The last time the democrats had over 60 senators and the Presidency was in the 1970s when Jimmy Carter was President.
A big Dem majority of over 60 in the Senate, a strong Dem majority in the House, a Dem President, and the 5% chance this Supreme Court wouldn't just go lol no.
On a federal level? Probably not unless some drastic stuff happens
One way would be to add more justicies to the court. The number isn't set in stone
There was the behind closed doors meeting saying if Hilary won they had plans to keep seats vacant until a republican won the president office.
Granted I do wish Hilary won because elections matter and candidates aren't perfect so not voting is not an excuse.
Me thinks it's wrong to give so much power to so few people. I grew up being told the three branches of government are supposed to act as checks and balances towards each other so that no one is more powerful than the other. Where you can argue that's fair when talking about the Executive branch and the Legislative branch, the Judicial branch seems to be the "end all" with the final say on EVERYTHING. Hell, they almost seem more powerful than the President. Positions that powerful SHOULD be limited by terms and WHO gets into that position SHOULD be voted in by the PEOPLE of the nation.
Republicans and Moderates: "But GUYSSSS, we've had this number for a nice while now. It's considered the modern traditional norm. Don't rock the boat!"
Devastating. It feels like the country is slipping away back into the 1950's.
Money. Generally speaking, I think that mass amounts of people have to feel their livelihoods are seriously threatened before serious revolutionary action is considered. Ironically, gas prices getting significantly worse is more likely to spur serious action than abortion being taken away.
