Current Events > The plan to overturn Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court is already in motion.

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/29/politics/abortion-roe-v-wade-supreme-court/index.html

Now that President Donald Trump has the opportunity to appoint a new justice to the Supreme Court, some abortion opponents hope that Roe v. Wade will end up overturned or gutted -- and they have already been working towards that moment. Over the past year, state legislatures in Iowa, Louisiana and Mississippi have advanced strict limits on abortion that some lawmakers believe could trigger a successful challenge to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. "I think it's virtually certain that some or all of those laws will wind up before the Supreme Court," said CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. "And they will get a much more favorable reception with any of the judges on President Trump's list of 25 possible nominees." When Trump ran for president in 2016, he pledged to appoint "pro-life" justices to the Supreme Court, while his running mate, now-vice president Mike Pence, said that he hoped to see Roe v. Wade end up on the "ash heap of history."

Iowa's "heartbeat" law prohibits doctors from performing an abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks, with exceptions in the case of certain instances of rape, incest or medical emergency. Mississippi and Louisiana recently passed legislation banning abortion after 15 weeks with limited exceptions. In Arkansas, a legal battle is currently playing out over a law that imposes limitations on access to medication-induced abortions. "The question we are raising is if you have a heartbeat, you have a life and if you have a life then under the Constitution, you are guaranteed a right to life and due process and equal protection under the law before that life is taken away," Greg Heartsill, an Iowa GOP state representative, said in an interview. "That's essentially what we're putting before the court and if they do their due diligence, they've got to answer."

God, I hope Kennedy sees this and says "Fuck no, not letting the Republicans destroy my legacy and country."

He can still change his mind?

What exactly does that article prove?

Bye-bye gay rights, you know those are next and whatever "liberal" like thing or obama thing they can shit on for the next 50 years.

Liberals knew this backlash was coming when they elected Obama, it's their burden to shoulder

RIP Trans rights and net neutrality.

I don't think they'd do it. There is very little to gain from it and a lot to lose.

You're the guy who tried being sarcastic in another topic with something like this, right?

Yeah, your sarcasm hits a little too close to the Donnie cultists to be easily identifiable. lol

Has Trump ever experienced being poor?

Yes, he started out in life poor and worked his ass off to build his real estate and business empire.

Daddy's money,connections and skirting the law is not "working his ass off". Dude managed to bankrupt a fucking Casino, do you realize how dumb you have to be business wise to be able to lose money on something that has rigged machines to keep people spending money?

Because it punishes women who have sex mainly poor ones as the rich will definitely still be able to get abortions

Use full sentences and explain why he's wrong.

No, they're right. Hortanz was complaining about Obama being black and president.

This is a troll post, but there does seem to be a MAGA Whitelash happening since he was elected. The rhetoric has largely been "taking our country back" a very large portion of this country saw Obama's presidency as a threat

Smoke and mirrors. They need to keep their "one issue voters". The two big issues for these type of voters are abortion and gay rights. They will pretend to try to overturn these, and then blame Democrats when it doesn't happen. This has all been done before.

Quite a few "one issue voters" are. But if you take these issues away, they might realize that Jesus was a Liberal Jew, and vote Democrat.

Votes are all that matters. Without votes, they have no position, without position, they have no power.

Votes=Power

For now.....

It just means you cant kill people because you made a mistake. Or erase them or whatever. You cant just erase your babies just because you werent responsible

Victims, like people who were sadly victims of rape, will be taken care of with anything they need

Fetal heartbeat restrictions are the dumbest shit ever. A fetus is no more alive if it has a heartbeat than if it lacks one. It's a meaningless distinction based on "muh feels".

You know that isn't true. I get that you are a gimmick but you need to try harder.

This seems a little paranoid and conspiratorial. I lean pro-choice (despite my nick), but most thoughtful evangelical and social conservative types I know tend to really understand that you can't just ban abortion overnight without leading to consequences. You'd need a sea change in the culture first, and that requires addressing the reasons why we've become an abortionist society to begin with first.

e: That could take a good 10 or 20 years at minimum, in my estimation.

Someone needs to send out a blackmail to all senators and house representatives threatening to expose their secret gay affairs if they don't comply with blocking every possible instance of Roe v Wade being threatened. With so many persons in power, we're bound to hit one.

I mean I truly am not a fan of abortion and dont like the its her choice argument because it does that does not make sense.

Like its a foreign body, and not a parasite technically because its the same species as us...

So idk none of the arguments make sense and I dont condone death like of most animals even so much less something human!

But Im strict either
