And how do you remove SCOTUS judges with life terms?
Its not relevant, if elected State politicians want to pass laws that conflict with the will of the people they will be removed by the people.

How terribly true.

Difficult to believe that the USA can, in 2022, start returning to a much earlier era.

Even more crazy to see the supporters of the change so excited that women will, in future, lose their rights and be forced to carry a child they may not want.

What is it about the USA?. They now want to produce even more children - presumably so that many more are available to be shot when they get to school.

"The conservative justice Clarence Thomas appeared to offer a preview of the court’s potential future rulings, suggesting the rightwing-controlled court may return to the issues of contraception access and marriage equality, threatening LGBTQ rights.

“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion to the ruling on Roe."

Shocking.

There are plans in some states to even go after women having abortions, even if they're not resident in that state

It was mentioned on CNN earlier that passing through a state, getting pregnant while there, and then seeking an abortion later could land a woman in trouble. How they'd prove it on the other hand...

They don't need to prove it, just say God told them, that seems to be the level of society they have over there, the whole court seems to be a pantomime of oh no you didn't, oh yes we did.

If I was a woman I'd be saying get fked.

How many years have we got of this SCOTUS majority, 20, 30?

This is just the start, Trump will likely continue to have a massive impact on the US long after he is dead.

So when it’s a couple of hundred cells it’s sentient?
That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying some people believe life begins at conception and they are entitled to that belief even if you disagree with it.
That is correct, they are entitled to that belief.

They are not entitled to force others to adhere to that belief.
Well, in America, they are. Madness.

this has happened under a Democrat president.
Hmm, I cba to explain how Biden has no legal mechanism to affect this judgement, has condemned it very strongly, and it was set in motion entirely by the previous president.

But, as this is common knowledge to anyone with a basic grasp of us politics, I have to assume you're just trolling for attention?
Gee whizz! Trolling for attention? I know Biden hasn't made this happen. I said that it illustrates "something utterly weird about the US." Is that not true?

Very sad to hear. Land of the free and home of the brave. Unless you’re a woman.
“My body my choice” disappeared last year. I wonder how many of those dismayed at this result cheered on the sacking of those who didn’t desire the injections that were and continue to be pushed?
FFS!

Yeah, because being vaccinated is exactly the same as being forced to incubate and give birth to a child conceived by rape.

Who said it’s exactly the same? confused

“My body my choice” no longer exists. Last year was the start of a slippy road.
You still had a choice with the vaccines though. Maybe that choice was between being vaccinated and keeping your job, so not the best choice, but a choice all the same.

I very much doubt that the choice to abort a foetus is a particularly easy one for many women either but at least they do have that choice in civilised countries.

Amazing that America can now be added to those countries no longer considered to be civilised.

Of course - but that is a bit like living here in the UK. If you live in Northern Ireland, you have to travel to GB to obtain an abortion.
Nope. Even NI is ahead of the US.

For now, but I'm pretty sure that was only in response to an ECtHR judgement and guess what? Priti the fascist wants to remove us from their jurisdiction so that she can send a plane load of poor bds to an oppressive African nation, so who knows? Maybe as a special Brucie Bonus Northern Ireland's own bible-thumping neanderthal knuckledraggers will get to rejoin their American counterparts jn the first half of the 20th century some time soon?

While no fan of Priti in any form, I don't see anything in the UK as remotely comparable to the direction the US is taking.

100% don't be a 'tard Rufus. Life begins at birth. End of
I'd disagree.

By that logic, I could punch a pregnant woman in the stomach and kill the baby the day before she's due to give birth, and I'd only be guilty of assault.

I'd be more comfortable with the notion of life beginning at the point at which a foetus could realistically survive outside the womb were the mother to die, for example.

I agree. From that point on it's a matter of opinion what's right and what's wrong. I don't agree with today's ruling about changing women's right to choice but individual choice is just that.

Which means if you’re unlucky enough to live in a state where the crazy white bible thumpers are in charge you’re fked. And that’s about 50% of the country.

The other point here is, what are the conservative right going to go after next? Gay marriage? Gay rights?
Surely they can just move.

Didn't they already do that with the vaccine mandates for government employees and the attempt to get private companies to follow suit.....
Wasn't that funny.

Yet.

Leaving the jurisdiction of the ECtHR would be a first step in that direction though.

[jab/religious fanatic]They have a choice to not get jabbed/pregnant. Those who are vaccine injured/raped are a minority, more lives are saved through mandating vaccines/banning abortion[/jab/religious fanatic]

Maybe it’s more similar than I thought?

I think the new ruling is disgusting, I just find the hypocrisy amusing. No one should be told what they can / cannot do with their body. With the injections it was under threat of becoming ousted from society.

Nice to see Trudeau getting a social media kicking.
