Could the repeal of “roe v wade” be trumps real legacy

[Jedi boro]

It now appears the leaked reports that the us Supreme Court was about to repeal the historic ruling of roe v wade is genuine after all. Thus breaking a 50 year ruling that has underpinned us legislation for over a half a century.

The court is due to make a final decision in June or early July - but a draft has emerged.

The court is expected to issue its ruling in a pending Mississippi case — a direct challenge to nationwide abortion rights — in late June or early July.

Good way of ensuring a backlash from women against these GOP Taliban loons, I'd have thought.

 

[RoaryTheLion]

It’s an absolute travesty and beggars belief.

Well what a clusterf**k that would be. Sending womens rights back half a century. Do we know the male to female ratio of the Supreme Court? I’ll bet it is male dominated.

There were 105K reported rapes in the USA in 2019. It was estimated only a third get reported. If any of reported rapes in the future resulted in a pregnancy and these women subsequently were unable to abort the child if they wished it beggars belief. I mean you have to process the offence discover the pregnancy and deal mentally with all that has happened and arrange and complete an abortion in 15 weeks, it is just not right. Women will be flying to other countries, resorting to back st abortionists or using the internet to use some self help products that could be dangerous to their life.

Back half a century...? More like to Dickensian times... just the worst of the zealots..

Sure the evangelical will be singing & praising skyward...

If this doesn't slap reality of Trump & the GOP's real intention: promote white, straight & male policies & agenda.. into anyone who is not the above then nothing will..

Gilead, here we come...

It'll polarise the US even more than it is now. I'd imagine the backlash from women themselves, not to mention those who understand and support the right to choose, will arrest this GOP cancer that is infecting US politics.

 

[Magicman70]

There will be a large number of Republican voting women who will be happy with this as well .

Wow

 

[AC Jimbo]

Utterly staggering. There'll be hell on over there now.

 

[Chris_Boro]

The Supreme Court is a laughing stock.

 

[Jedi boro]

Nothing is off the table now then. As If they can repeal this then nothing is untouchable anymore.

A better and more deserved legacy would be that he was the first president to be hung by the nuts

[BobUpnDown]

they just keep going back to 'the constitution states' ..it was written in 1787... FFS, times change.. evolve you relics..

USA founded by religious zealots of their day & it's dragging them down still..

 

[Jedi boro]

Re gun laws and the second amendment

I like Jim Jeffries line it’s an amendment, the clues in the name.

 

[Piccadilly Day Tripper]

And to think the Americans spent billions of dollars to wage wars on religious fundamentalist zealots who were all armed and treated women and minorities like 2nd and 3rd class citizens to keep them out of the country.

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

I don’t wish to make light of such a serious but couldn’t they have announced this on Monday as I guess this will be the lead on all news stations now.

I’m telling our fecking PM has some friends in high places.

As for this decision how on earth can any democratic nation think this is right. I’m not sure how many more times I can say it but the world is broken and Christ knows how it get fixed!!!
