Up to the individual states. Some will be forced to have the baby.
It's something that will happen. Republicans are assured to win the House this November and will select the President in 2024 regardless of votes. DeSantis would pass a national abortion ban in a second.
Allow doctors to use Federal land for abortions. They can be volunteers.
Not hungry enough.
edit: This is a generalization but I should clarify the large American middle class isn't suffering enough. What;s that saying bout a only few missed meals before chaos?

Obama didn't go away, he and the party campaigned on it, the only actual remedy in the system.
It's truly amazing the damage a reality show host and failed casino owner has done and continues to do to this country. If anyone thought this could happen even twenty years ago, it would have been laughed off as the bad comedy it should be, instead of the real nightmare it actually is.
Could they do it on like Army bases?
Edit: forgot about Hyde.
It's like people just say things without knowing what they are saying cannot happen.
It's a tight rope. If someone gets rid of it then the other side can do whatever they want when they have 50/50 and the president.
I get what you're saying, but those protections are at risk as well. I just don't know anymore, man. It feels like political violence becomes more inevitable everyday, and I would by lying if some dark place deep inside didn't think it would be called for it.
If people are actually paying attention and don't suddenlf and collectively forget it should.
There's no better excuse, and yeah the only option at this point is the nuclear option. Republicans did this to themselves, this is NOT what the SC is for
Legal scholars looked at all the arcane rules and the most liberal of them (both in legal interpretation and political leaning) could come up only with a result of 1 year of Garland. 1 year of Garland doesn't get you anything so Obama didn't do it.
Overturning the part of Obamacare that you could get McCain and Susan Collins to agree with doesn't get you much so Mitch didn't eliminate the filibuster.
I 100% don't think this is the case. And worse, I think dems didn't do anything to stop this as a strategy, basically what you are alluding to. Well, I am old enough to know that will never, ever, ever work.
It will galvanize the right, and the left will come out just as limp as ever.
Talk to people who are not into politics. They hate this, but still feel like they have no one to vote for. It's not like dems stopped it form happening, and THEN campaigned on "if you let Rs win they will repeal this".
It's the same on every issue, they ALWAYS do nothing then fund-raise off the tragedy. They, we, are totally boned come the midterms, and at that point theres no way to climb back after everything Rs are already doing which dems refuse to stop.
but how would you protect the women from being arrested once they go out
I wish I had your optimism but all this shows me is that they have all the momentum in the world. Republicans are getting what they want while democrats have a sitting democratic president that can't get anything done for them. It's emboldening republicans and demoralizing democrats.
I mean if anything this screams "GET OUT THERE AND VOTE" but it's proven to be very ineffective. And there's absolutely nothing we can do about the supreme court. That's going to stay a republican majority for quite a while. Biden has already shown reluctance to pack the courts, which in my opinion would be an appropriate reaction to Trump appointing absolute garbage during his 1 term.
I dunno... I'm just super depressed and pessimistic right now. I have such little hope for this country anymore.
User threadbanned: derail
That dumb mother fucker should have her coffin dug up and shot into the sun.
Fuck the Republicans. Fuck the Democrats. Fuck religious zealots. Fuck this country.
"Violence is not the answer" - Biden
No, Violence is the response. It is inevitable that things will get violent in many places across the country.

Wouldn't fly because the government would have to spend money on the facilities or would have to actively circumvent federal health regulations in order to have them performed.
Our president on TV right now and he had to hammer home "peaceful peaceful peaceful protests"
As an outsider this is genuinely insane. Like you couldn't even imagine something like this happened even 10 years ago.
This is the result of social media, the media in general and years of bombardment from the alt right.
America is a radicalised state and we're probably not far behind (Britain). Not even sure we'd go this far though.

His response to that:
I would actually recommend reading his article that I posted earlier. Though I know many here won't like or accept anything that breaks decorum and norms.
This is what pisses me off most about how defeatist Dem voters are. You got to play the long game. This system is not about the character of the individuals you vote in. It's about the platform they push for. You got to put aside your pride if we all want to survive this in the long run.
The bare minimum floor is that you vote fully up and down ticket for all Dems.... Every. Single. Election.
That's what your opponents do for Republicans. And they will fully destroy the country if we don't start countering them now.
The time to assert your preferences is in the primaries... Never the general election.
This shit should be stickied as a primer for succeeding in U.S. politics.
honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if people post those pics of Iran in the 70's with women in "western fashions" then Iran now but just be Americans instead.
Violence is sometimes the answer when the state is committing violence against you, it's no longer violence, it's self-defense. Over half the country are now second class citizens and considered subhuman, violence is self-defense in this case.
Exactly, republicans have all the power and their base is just getting more and more energized with every victory. I think there are ton of people who care about abortion rights, but for how many of them is the #1 issue? I'm sure plenty of people are upset about this but gas prices and inflation will trump that every time. This is how "normal" well meaning people sit back and let Fascism take hold.
You're arguing against something I've never said. I never once said not to vote. I've never once said not to vote for Democrats. I want the Democrats to work for the majority of Americans in this country instead of being corporate lap dogs they presently are. That does not happen by being uncritical of their actions. You seem to me to be bent on tying leftist critiques of the Democrats to imaginary calls to not vote.
But privately, Mr. Trump has told people repeatedly that he believes it will be "bad for Republicans."
The decision, Mr. Trump has told friends and advisers, will anger suburban women, a group who helped tilt the 2020 presidential race to Joseph R. Biden Jr., and will lead to a backlash against Republicans in the November midterm elections.
Per the NYT. Very interesting

This is all extremely plausible and the fact that's even true is so fucking dystopian ffs.
There's two sides to this and the Dems have to start having better messaging and stop being an embarrassment.
It is absolutely clear that some large percentage of Americans will not show up to vote just to stop the GOP. I wish that wasn't the case, but if they want more votes, they're gonna have to do something to engage those voters. Instead they obsess about swing voters who barely exist; they need to focus on the sometimes-voters-who-always-vote-dem-when-they-show-up, a MUCH larger number of people.
(I always vote in primaries, etc, I do phone banks, I get signatures to get people on ballot, do not confuse me for a not-voting person.)
And this is where we differ I guess. Even if it was for a year, and Obama did it, I would have had lot more respect for him to speak on this issue than I do currently. I want Democrats to go scorch earth and get shit done. Even if it was for one year. Let it play out. We don't know the reality and even if there was a 1% chance that Garland can stake it out for more than a year then take the shot. Really, what did Obama had to lose? In fact, he could have energized his own voters.
