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

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Now that she has gotten her way, she is lobbying for it to be repealed.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

If they are going to prosecute women for having an abortion or ordering / fulfilling the day after pill then this guy better fry.

A suburban Chicago police department reportedly shared data from automatic license-plate readers with a Texas sheriff who was looking for a woman who had an abortion.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has asked the attorney general to investigate the matter.

He is also creating an audit system to ensure police departments do not violate a 2023 law that bans the distribution of license-plate data to track women seeking abortions or to find undocumented immigrants.


The incident highlights the fears that led to the law.

There were concerns that states that restricted abortion access after Roe v Wade was overturned would use the technology to follow and possibly prosecute women seeking the procedure by crossing into Illinois, where it is readily available.…….

Ohio Republicans are introducing a bill to ban all abortions in the state by classifying the procedure as homicide.

Representatives Levi Dean and Johnathan Newman are set to introduce the "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act” on Wednesday, which would classify abortion as homicide. Austin Beigel, founder of End Abortion Ohio, told The Independent the bill will “make a positive affirmation of the personhood of the pre-born.”

In 2023, Ohio residents voted to enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution. Since then, judges have struck down legislation that seeks to limit or ban abortion access despite the amendment.

The legislation will almost certainly face legal challenges if it passes. Beigel told The Independent the goal of the bill is to “create an immediate conflict between our state's constitution...and the U.S. Constitution, which declares that no state may deprive a person of life, liberty or property without due process of the law.”

Beigel hopes legal challenges to the bill could rise as far as the Supreme Court.

The bill could also end in vitro fertilization in the state and ban some forms of contraception, including IUDs, The Columbus Dispatchreports. Beigel said IVF clinics “will not be able to operate the way they are right now” under the legislation, but noted the bill does not mention contraception.……

Just so we are clear, The Republican Party tells us everyday they won't abide by district court rulings, except...


U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has issued a ruling striking down the HIPAA rule protecting reproductive health information from disclosure to law enforcement investigators when it was legally obtained, such as in another state.

...when they go district shopping and their judge rule in their favor.

A Florida Republican congresswoman is blaming fearmongering on the left for the reluctance of hospital staff to give her the drugs she needed to end an ectopic pregnancy that threatened her life.

Kat Cammack went to the emergency room in May 2024 where it was estimated she was five weeks into an ectopic pregnancy, there was no heartbeat and her life was at risk.

Doctors determined she needed a shot of methotrexate to help expel her pregnancy but since Florida’s six week abortion ban had just taken effect medical staff were worried about losing their licenses or going to jail if they did.

Cammack looked up the state law on her phone to show staff and even attempted to contact the governor’s office. Hours later, doctors eventually agreed to give her the medication.

But Cammack, who opposes abortion and co-chairs the House pro-life caucus, told the Wall Street Journal she blames messaging from pro-abortion groups for delaying her treatment, which is not banned under Florida’s restrictive statutes, who have created fear of criminal charges.

Over a year later and once again pregnant and due to give birth soon, Cammack says the politics of the incident have stuck with her.

“It was absolute fearmongering at its worst,” Cammack told the publication, but acknowledged that abortion rights groups might interpret her experience differently and blame Republican-led, restrictive anti-abortion laws for the issue.

“There will be some comments like, ‘Well, thank God we have abortion services,’ even though what I went through wasn’t an abortion,” she told the outlet.………

What you had was a medically induced abortion, lady. Don't thank "God", thank medical science for making the drugs that induced your abortion, otherwise you would have had sepsis and died.

It is fear mongering, but it's fear mongering from the right wing extremist about abortions. And also the actions and laws passed by extremist right wingers that seek to punish doctors and patients for medical care. You created your own pregnancy hell and are making other women suffer it as well. Congrats!

They're incapable of taking responsibility for anything.

 

[MT15]

She’s in denial. She had a medical abortion, and the GOP is trying to outlaw the medicine that saved her life. And she will probably vote for it. Without it she would have had to have a surgical procedure to save her life.

Tens of thousands abortion patients have been forced to leave their home states to seek abortion care three years after the end of constitutionally protected abortion access in America.

One out of every seven abortion patients, or roughly 155,000 people, left their home state for abortion care last year, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research group.

That total is slightly fewer than the 170,000 people who traveled for abortion care in 2023, but it remains a remarkable spike in abortion-related travel compared to the years before the Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v Wade and allowed states to criminalize abortion care and implement outright bans.

Out-of-state travel for abortion care has virtually doubled since that ruling. Since the Dobbs decision, 13 states have outlawed abortions in virtually all circumstances, creating a patchwork of abortion access across the country, and balkanized legal constraints for patients and providers, who are shielded in some states and criminalized in others.……..

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Thursday for South Carolina to strip Planned Parenthood of funding under the Medicaid health insurance program in a ruling that bolsters efforts by Republican-led states to deprive the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider of public money.

The 6-3 ruling overturned a lower court's decision barring Republican-governed South Carolina from terminating regional affiliate Planned Parenthood South Atlantic's participation in the state's Medicaid program because the organization provides abortions.

The court's three liberal justices dissented from the decision.

What they are going to do is literally kill poor women. None of the Medicaid money went to abortions in the first place. It goes to PAP smears and mammograms. The GOP is trying to kill women.

Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack has revealed that her offices had to be evacuated on Wednesday after she received “imminent death threats” in response to comments she made last week about the treatment of her ectopic pregnancy in 2024.

Cammack, 37, told The Wall Street Journalabout her ordeal in a Florida emergency room after it was discovered that her baby’s embryo was implanted where the fallopian tube meets the uterus, meaning it could not survive and that her own life was in danger without action.…….

Okay, good grief. There are 2 threatening (sort of) messages there. The one on the lower right, while harsh, contains no threat at all. The inclusion of that one makes me wonder if she received the number of actually threatening messages she claims to have received. The two threatening ones are pretty vile and there’s no excuse for them, but the one on the lower right is completely accurate.

So I don’t see an imminent threat - not at all. Saying you wish someone would have died from a medical issue is hardly an imminent threat that the person sending the message is going to take action to kill you.

Lots of important rulings coming down today - Birthright Citizenship, Louisiana Black Congressional District, and others. I'm hoping for some 4-5 splits and not all 6-3s.
