Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights per draft opinion (Update: Dobbs opinion official) (1 Viewer)

[LovesMusic7360]

Not long ago Kari Lake proclaimed Arizona's abortion law was a great law and wanted it the law of the state.

Now that she has gotten her way, she is lobbying for it to be repealed.

As I have been saying since 2022, the overwhelming vast majority of women aren't going to vote for the man who proudly boasts that he got rid of Roe V. Wade. Nor are those women going to vote for a forced birther politician.

Turns out, republican belief in "pro life" was all just lies to get votes. Who is surprised? I sure am not.

How many forced birthers will do the same about face?

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake is actively lobbying state lawmakers to overturn a 160-year-old law she once supported that bans abortion in almost all cases, a source with knowledge of her efforts told CNN.

……She is a bit worried. But she’s also angry that the options of pregnant people who live in Idaho were snatched away by politicians who appear willing to risk lives like hers in their haphazard quest to ban abortion.

Across Idaho, doctors are leaving, looking for states where politics don’t dictate how they practice medicine.

The consequences of Idaho’s anti-choice laws hit Sandpoint fast and hard, hollowing out medical care for women within months. For years, the town had a maternity ward that delivered as many as 350 babies every year – now it has nothing.

The OB-GYN ward shut down this spring and doctors have been fleeing the state in a steady stream, seeking shelter in places where their work doesn’t put them at risk of criminal charges or big lawsuits.

“Basically, I’m lucky because I have a healthy pregnancy,” says Sanders. “But there are all these other people out there who are going to give birth who aren’t healthy. I don’t think people even think about the little things that can happen that a midwife can’t handle.”

It’s become a gamble, getting pregnant and giving birth in a place that no longer has a maternity unit or any obstetricians. Sandpoint is small, fewer than 10,000 people, but it’s been a medical hub for a rural region of 50,000 in north Idaho, Montana and Washington.

For people like Sanders, pregnancy care in town is no longer an option. This is what happens when a state government that’s been itching to ban abortion enacts some of the most restrictive laws in the country and ensnares all of reproductive health and a good share of routine medical care in its dragnet.

But the women of Sandpoint are clear about one thing they want others to know: this can happen anywhere in the post-Roe United States. Nowhere is as safe as you might believe and the battle won’t stop at state borders…….

Idaho also became the only state in the country to stop tracking maternal mortality rates. Activists say it’s like they don’t want anyone to know how deadly their decisions might be.…..

No OB-GYNs left in town: what came after Idaho’s assault on abortion

In Sandpoint, Idaho, the maternity ward closed down. Within months, medical care for women in the rural community was hollowed out

For sure they don’t want the people who live there to know how many women will die or be maimed because of their decisions to impose their religious beliefs on people not of their faith.

Already the worst maternal outcomes are in the states with the most restrictions on abortions. I would be willing to bet there have already been deaths because of these laws, they just aren’t being publicized. It’s shocking to me how little women‘s lives mean to these extremists.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s new all-male Supreme Court reversed course on abortion on Wednesday, upholding a ban on most such procedures after about six weeks of pregnancy.

The 4-1 ruling departs from the court’s own decision earlier this year to strike down a similar law.

The continued erosion of legal abortion access across the U.S. South comes after Republican state lawmakers replaced the lone female on the court, Justice Kaye Hearn.

Writing for the new majority, Justice John Kittredge acknowledged that the 2023 law infringes on “a woman’s right of privacy and bodily autonomy,” but said the state legislature reasonably determined this time around that those interests don’t outweigh “the interest of the unborn child to live.”

“As a Court, unless we can say that the balance struck by the legislature was unreasonable as a matter of law, we must uphold the Act,” Kittredge wrote.……

Pay attention, ladies. Now, not only does a fetus have rights, those rights outweigh your own. Put another way, a lump of cells inside you counts for more than you do.

Regretting staying at home in '16 yet?

It's sad that the future of this country comes down to not economic policy or climate policy but I'm believing (and hoping) that trampling on women's constitutional rights might finally get the R's exactly what they deserve.....complete and utter lunacy.....

Their stance has always been that the fetus’ rights outweigh the woman’s rights. It’s nothing new, it follows by literal definition of their stance.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

And not only that, how many doctors refuse to give the woman the option to tie her tubes unless she has multiple children already or at a certain age? "but what if you get married later or you get remarried" etc... like she should get permission from a man first.

Rs will not stop lying about late term abortions. It’s infuriating.

How does this nitwit imagine that Roe got overturned?

 

[MT15]

Voters in OH have supported a ballot initiative to codify reproductive freedom into the OH state constitution. The OH MAGA Secretary of State has reworded the ballot initiative and it was approved 3-2 along party lines. The new wording was carefully modified to prejudice against the initiative.

 

[MT15]

The wording is intentionally misleading. The military allows soldiers who have to travel out of their assigned state to access legal reproductive care the leave time needed for such travel and reimburses them the money it takes to travel to get such care. The military is not paying for abortions.

I think what they mean is that you don't get to just appoint Justices. One of 'em has to croak first.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

we do have 2 of them in their 70's and are big R's. when you get that age, stuff can sneak up on you quickly. It woudn't be too unreasonable to think one could be replaced during the next 5 years.

I assumed that too, but that may be giving it too much credit

A rare case where both sides are correct

Well, a couple of them should be impeached, which could happen if enough Dems win.

You'd need 60 votes in the Senate for that to happen...I think.
