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

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Now that she has gotten her way, she is lobbying for it to be repealed.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

This drug isn’t only used for abortion. It has several other important uses for women’s health. Removing access to it will cause health issues with women who aren’t having abortions. It will make complications after miscarriage more likely and some of those complications are severe.

This is about hurting women more than anything else. There appears to be no limit to what the GOP will do to control and hurt women.

A Texas sheriff’s office tapped into a nationwide network of tens of thousands of automatic license plate readers to locate a woman who had a self-managed abortion, raising alarms from privacy and abortion access advocates.

On May 9, an officer with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office used a tool called Flock to access a nationwide network of some 83,000 license plate readers as part of its search.

Abortion is almost entirely illegal in Texas, but the search included cameras in states where abortion is legal, like Washington and Illinois, according to data obtained by tech news website 404 Media.


The sheriff’s office told the outlet it initiated the search because the woman’s family was “worried that she was going to bleed to death, and we were trying to find her to get her to a hospital.”

“We weren’t trying to block her from leaving the state or whatever to get an abortion,” Sheriff Adam King said. “It was about her safety.”……….

Missouri lawmakers approve referendum to repeal abortion-rights amendment

Missouri lawmakers have approved a referendum seeking to repeal an abortion-rights amendment passed by voters six months ago.

apnews.com

Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month.

Immediately after the vote, protestors erupted with chants of “Stop the ban!” and were ushered out of the Senate chamber.

The Senate then blocked further Democratic debate and gave final approval to a separate measure repealing provisions of a voter-approved law guaranteeing paid sick leave for workers and cost-of-living increases to the minimum wage.

This is the logical conclusion of repealing Roe. This is what we have been warning about. This is a war on women.

“Women who miscarry could face investigation in West Virginia under new interpretations of the state's anti-abortion laws.

According to Raleigh County prosecuting attorney, Tom Truman, women who have experienced a miscarriage, otherwise known as an involuntary abortion, in the state, could face charges if they are found to have buried, flushed, or hidden evidence of their miscarriage.

He also said in remarks to WVNS reporter Jessica Farrish: "If you were relieved, and had been telling people, 'I'd rather get run over by a bus than have this baby,' that may play into law enforcement's thinking, too."

Tom Truman has been contacted for comment via the Raleigh County Community Resource Directory site.”

Theses are some forked up people pushing this crap, Such ungodly people, the things they are focused on to pretend like they are, with god-like wrath to boot for disobeying their bankrupt preferences.

 

[MT15]

Women who miscarry early on in a pregnancy at home who call their doctors are most often told to dispose of the “evidence”. They most often simply flush the toilet. Most often there isn’t anything discernible in what has been expelled, unless they would go through it and search. And nobody needs to do that.

This is a war against women, it always has been. It’s about taking away women’s bodily autonomy and punishing them if they don’t adhere to men’s standards of behavior.

While last week marked the start of Pride Month, Ted Cruz is leading more than two dozen senators in an effort to designate June as “Life Month.”

The Texas lawmaker introduced the joint ‘‘Life Month Resolution” to the upper chamber Tuesday to “recognize that every human life is a sacred gift from God,” it states.

“Every human life is worthy of protection, and it is especially incumbent upon Americans and lawmakers to protect the most vulnerable among us,” Cruz said in a statement.


“Designating June as Life Month is a recommitment to the American principle that every life has dignity. I call on my colleagues in the Senate to swiftly pass this resolution.”…….

It will still be PRIDE month you arse. Your acknowledgement or "approval" is not desired or required. We will still celebrate and be in your face. fork off!

Cruz, imo, like most so-called “pro-life” azzhats actually doesn’t give a damn about life.

Their entire non-thought process can be summed up as “life for me but not for thee” because life isn’t just being born. A toxic society such as this means that a person needs more than quasi-spiritual claptrap to actually live.

Fork Cruz.

It’s all about what their base likes and reacts to favorably, regardless that they act contrary to every Christian standard ever stated in any historical documents. Any bullshirt love standard is reversed by intolerance and their magnificent hate.

One Tuesday morning in April, Alicia Moreno and the rest of the staff at Boulder abortion clinic learned that the clinic’s owner, Dr Warren Hern, was closing the clinic on Friday. One of the few abortion clinics in the US that performed abortions past the second trimester would, after 50 years, shutter its doors.

They sprang into action. Suddenly, the dozen patients who had been scheduled for abortions that week had to go somewhere else.

Using secure lines, Moreno and other staffers called abortion clinics across the country to see who could take the patients. Because Boulder abortion clinic typically helped patients schedule flights and hotels, they had to reschedule all those logistics – while ensuring that nothing cost too much, since more than 90% of the clinic’s patients relied on outside funding to help pay for their abortions.


“It was hardest on the patients that were already scheduled,” Moreno said. “They’re already in a really shirtty circumstance, and we’re just like: ‘Haha, just kidding. You’re not coming to Coloradonow. You’re going to DC in four days.’”……

Three years after the fall of Roe v Wade and months after an election that heavily focused on the fight over abortion rights, men and women have never diverged more on their support foraccess to the procedure, according to new polling from Gallup released Monday.

Sixty-one percent of women now identify as “pro-choice”, but only 41% of men say the same, Gallup found.

The same percentage of women identified as “pro-choice” in 2022, just after the decision to overturn Roe was leaked, but at the time, 48% of men also did so.

Prior to Roe’s collapse, men and women were never more than 10 points apart from one another on the issue, according to decades of Gallup polling.

Men and women are also in record disagreement over whether abortion is moral, as 57% of women and 40% men say that it is.

Just 41% of men say that abortion should be legal in all or more circumstances, while 56% of women say the same.

These gender gaps are likely less due to post-Roe changes in men’s attitudes towards abortion than in changes in women’s attitudes, said Lydia Saad, Gallup’s director of US social research.

Specifically: women have become a lot more supportive of abortion since Roe fell. In 2021, 52% of women and 45% of men identified as “pro-choice”.

“In general, we see that with abortion, that the party that wants to change the status quo is the one that has more energy on the issue,” Saad said.

“For years, it was more the pro-life respondents who said that they will only support a candidate who shares their views on that issue. Whereas, since 2022, we’ve seen it flip.”

Sudden political upsets do have the power to dramatically change people’s beliefs, Saad said. Typically, however, those changes don’t last and people revert to their norm views within a few years.

Men’s declining support for abortion may thus be a sign that they are reverting to their norm – but Saad was surprised women are still soenergized by the issue.

“A line had been crossed for women,” Saad said. “If you were generally supportive of abortion rights before, you became much more so.”

Similarly, men who identify as Democrats have, like women, become much more likely to back abortion rights.

Between 2020 and 2021, 63% of Democratic men said that they believed abortion should be legal in most circumstances; as of 2025, 78% of Democratic men say the same.

Saad is not exactly sure why support for abortion rights is dwindling among men. Although this is the lowest level of support among men for the “pro-choice” label in a decade, she is not convinced that this decline will continue.

“It’s more just a out of sight, out of mind issue for men,” Saad said of abortion’s legality. “Whereas for women – it’s just been more salient.”

At this point, it’s difficult to tell whether men are becoming more actively opposed to abortion or whether they are simply becoming more conservative overall, Saad said.

Men are already more likely to be Republicans, and Republicans typically oppose abortion rights. A mere 19% of Republican men think abortion should be legal in most circumstances.……

DOJ employee accused of spiking his girlfriend's drink with a drug to cause an abortion. Since his name isn't Stephen Miller he's facing criminal charges. Since he did it in Texas, those charge are capital murder
A U.S. Department of Justice employee who works in the IT department slipped an abortion drug into his girlfriend’s drink, causing her to lose the baby, Texas authorities say.

Justin Anthony Banta, 38, stands accused of capital murder and tampering with evidence, according to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies say Banta’s girlfriend informed him in September that she was carrying his baby. Banta allegedly suggested she have an abortion and said he would buy her the Plan C drug to terminate the pregnancy. But the victim told him that she wanted to keep the baby, authorities said.


On Oct. 17, the victim, who was about six weeks pregnant, went to a doctor’s appointment where a sonogram showed the baby had a strong heartbeat and was in overall good health. Later that day, she met with Banta at a coffee shop in Tarrant County. Cops believe Banta slipped an abortion drug into her drink when the victim wasn’t looking.

The next day, she began to suffer from “extreme fatigue and heavy bleeding,” authorities say. She went to the emergency room and later had a miscarriage, according to deputies.

I mean, yeah I don’t don’t think they’ll win on a capital murder charge. Clearly a test case, I agree there. I don’t agree with a murder charge. But maybe manslaughter or they need to come up with a penalty for intentionally causing the death of a fetus against the mother’s will.
