Yep. ‘Pro-life’ until it comes to the lives of women who will inevitably develop sepsis or some other deadly infection from their botched abortions

Or until they equally lighten gun laws which only affect those who shouldn’t have guns anyway.
Oh it's absolutely the Democrats' fault as well. They could have done what nearly every other Western country (and most of the rest of the world, to one degree or another) did, pass abortion legislation. But they made excuses, and they didn't, and now... yeah.
They don't care about those. Once you're born you fend for yourself and if you die it's probably your own fault.

There would have been a massive return on investment from late-term aborting 3 judges a month or so ago. Too late now.
These mf’ers don’t skip a beat, do they?
Yep, we had some windows that we fecked up. Here’s a great article on why Roe had never been codified since 1973…

100% they are. They will, at the same time, insist this is a ruling based on science (because a fertilized egg is a "human life") and continue to push extreme right-wing views based on a certain version of Christianity.
Shit’s been ready to go for years.
pro-life is one of the most infuriating terms in politics. when someone tells me they're pro-life I just feel like punching them
Yeah. And that argument of their bothers me so much because in a legal sense it is so clear that birth is treated as the moment that human life begins. It is when the state registers the existence of the person. Before that there are no requirements to register pregnancies in any way that would indicate a legal desire to treat unborn babies as people.

I remember some articles around 08-09 arguing that Democrats needed to use their super majority to pass federal legislation to legalize abortion but it never seemed to go further than a few articles. This is proving yet another instance of Obama and the super majority not doing near enough
Hear hear.
As someone that took legal studies 101 at a US university, I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this. This is a naked partisan decision, from a body that for decades refused to even look at politically-sensitve cases as to ensure they remained above party politics. Further, this is a by definition example of settled law, there's no reason to revisit it except politics. It's not like births, women or anything else has changed.
I genuinely don't understand how these GOP operatives can even claim they're surpreme court justices.
Two further thoughts:
1. Anyone - particularly any woman - who balked at voting for Hillary, good work.
2. Love RBG but some of this is on her ego.

One of the sticking points revolved around the Hyde Amendment & the fact that there were a couple of pro-life senators. But not nearly enough political capital & energy was expended.
And it's so weird that this is an issue that affects everyone, these idiots celebrating the decision will see family members, friends and people in their community suffer because of this. Surely they must care about them, even if they hate "the libs".
You are giving often times irredeemable people too much credit. The draw of the cult is sometimes greater than the draw of family.
Sometimes it seems to me that either the cruelty, or the one-upmanship, or both are the entire point. Who benefits?
Crazy country I'm glad I don't live there, what a mess.

Cruelty isn’t the bug, it’s the feature.
Can anyone of the pro-lifers in this thread tell me their views on abortion in the case of an ectopic pregnancy? Or anencephaly? Would you say the right thing to do would be to force the mother to carry the baby to full term despite the greatly increased risk to her life?
The US seem so close to a real life handmaid's tale society.
Thank goodness Obama put abortion on the back burner for eight fecking years.
I’m sure this Thomas guy didn’t just wake up today and decide that laws protecting same-sex marriage etc. should be overturned. It’s just that he can now say it with his chest because Roe has set a precedent. Just like how all the neo-nazis and racists showed their asses out loud once trump became president.
What a vile fecking country.
These feckers don't give a shit and just play a role. "We need a hearing next month". Your house is on fire you cnut.
Capitalists.
Every human born are either consumers or cheap labour.
Capitalism relies in constant growth, and with people aborting at will, it makes it harder.
They will cherry pick precedents to their benefit.
The Court is simply a Federalist Society arm of the government.
Exactly. Of course, Thomas won't take that into account when they try to push for a national ban next.
True. I've heard some conservatives recently argue this is necessary to keep birth rates up.
Seriously? Extraordinary.True. I've heard some conservatives recently argue this is necessary to keep birth rates up.
Utterly bizarre and depressing.
I bet any money that registering pregnancies is less than a decade away.
There's full on Handmaid's Tale shit in the air.
The news, albeit expected, is still utterly disgusting. What a world we live in whereby peoples rights are not being eroded. The land of the free.....
