No. It's pretty fucking bad I mean but calling it one of the worst means it's contending with shit like "if you agree to this trade of a few metal buckets for the island of Manhattan we promise to stop killing you"

To the people saying this isn't bad, we can get a NATIONAL abortion ban in the future because of this ruling.

Topics like this are just being dramatic.

At least specifically say within the last decade.

But American History in general? No shot.

This is what I'm talking about. The government is going to be harming and killing its own innocent citizens over a long period of time as a result.

Am I viewing the prompt wrong?

Sure why not? The status quo throughout most of human history has not been kind to certain groups of people.

Still really bad when a country starts regressing.

One difference, I guess, is that society was already shit and openly abusing these people with no pretence we were decent and improved while this recent ruling is a giant step back after things have supposedly improved.

It's certainly a watershed moment.

The rest of the developed world is entrenching healthcare and developing countries are largely slackening their fundamentalist views. Completely wild to think America would go backwards on this.

I blame news corp seeing as the second most regressing country is the UK.

This. While there's been debate as to when an abortion shouldn't happen (6-15 weeks seem to be the big debate) most Americans were in support of RvW because it covered all situations

Its CE. So whatever is most recent is the most emotionally charged and thus the absolute worst and suggesting otherwise is a cardinal sin.

The judiciary giving up its own authority over the legality of abortion bans might be not only the worst tragedy of American history, but literally all human history ever.

No, but because its gonna likely get rolled in with everything the Republicans have been doing for the last couple years and everything they will be doing for the next couple years.

If in like, 10 years when the states is a theocratic dictatorship or whatever, Roe will just be a drop in the bucket of the whole thing.

It'll go down as a top 10 human rights failure for sure.
We need to stop pretending that certain conservative viewpoints (anti abortion, anti contraceptive, religion in schools, segregation, etc) are acceptable.
They aren't, and we as a people need to make that clear.
Fuck this SCOTUS, fuck the conservatives, and fuck anyone celebrating this shit.

America has a lot of "worsts." This can absolutely be among them. It's also signaling the real acceleration of our backslide out of democracy, but keep arguing semantics.

Because Gamefaqs will keep treating the American far-right as a legitimate "side" of all issues until American democracy is all but dead.
