Did anyone think they'd stop at Roe? Yeah, right. At this point, it is not hyperbole to say that we're about to zoom past even the Taliban because even those kinds of countries still allow procedure for rape or life of the mother. Tennessee just banned mifepristone/misoprostol pills. These folks will not stop until ladies have to wear burquas and stay home. https://twitter.com/PamKeithFL/status/1523141006509502470

For an even happier life, get rid of the wife.

Did anyone think they'd stop at Roe? They actually haven't done anything yet. Or at least haven't announced what they are planning to do. But I too expect to see burkas on the Supreme court agenda soon and the few remaining infidels on the court beheaded. It's just the logical sequence of events.

Just as I predicted, a new poll shows that Democrat enthusiasm for the November 2022 has doubled. Care to guess what is driving the enthusiasm? I'll give you a hint, it's not inflation or Fox New's faux outrage of the week: the lack of baby formula.

It’s been two weeks since the leaked draft on abortion. For all the hell being raised about it, there has been no significant changes to the generic congressional ballot. 2 May 2022 Generic congressional ballot, RCP averages 46.5-42.5, Republican, 538 averages 45.2-42.8 Republican 9 May 2022 Generic congressional ballot, RCP averages 46.4-43.2 Republican, 538 averages 45.4-42.8 Republican 16 May 2022 Generic congressional ballot, RCP averages 46.8-43.3 Republican, 538 averages 45.5-43.0 Republican https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.htmlhttps://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/We haven’t seen any significant movement on President’s overall job performance since the leak either. 2 May 2022 Biden’s overall job performance, 41.7% approve, 53.0% disapprove 9 May 2022 Biden’s overall job performance, 42.3% approve, 52.9% disapprove 16 May 2022 Biden’s overall job performance, 41.6% approve, 53.4% disapprove https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.htmlTwo weeks after the leaked draft, the polls have been stagnate. No movement one way or the other to speak of. Which brings me back to my original theory of abortion being already baked in. That over the last 50 years those who are pro-choice have migrated to the Democratic Party and those pro-lifers to the GOP. You also have a bunch in the middle who don’t give abortion much thought, if any. It’s those who abortion is a very hot issue have already sided with the party that holds their view on this issue. Which could mean all the ruckus and protests won’t affect how folks vote in the midterms much. Those folks’ votes were already determined. I’ll give it another week or two, then move on to the next issue. Most likely the 1-6 public hearings, but I don’t expect much movement there either. Inflation, rising prices is the most important issue to swing voters, not abortion, not the 1-6 hearings when it comes to deciding who they’ll vote for in November. At least as of today, it is.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

I'm thinking that Democrats could have passed a bill that allowed abortions for a diversity of medical or moral reasons. But they went for the full monty and it's out with the trash. What if the Supremes' decision includes exceptions for sensible medical or moral reasons? Democrat enthusiasm for November 2022 has doubled. Does that mean twice as many Democrats will vote? They're gonna need to if they hope to offset the chances of a red wave. No denying this will help, but short of a miracle the House is lost.

I agree Greger, but not via a red wave. A net gain of 12-15 seats. Yeah, the democrats overplayed their hand with the national law. Here’s the latest YouGov/Economist poll. Question 93 Abortion should always be legal. There should be no restrictions on abortion. 29% Abortion should be legal, but with some restrictions (such as for minors or late-term abortions. 29% Abortion should only be legal in special circumstances, such as when the life of the mother is in danger. 29% Abortion should be illegal. It should never be allowed. 13% https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/o1zu29c4cp/econTabReport.pdf

Now that 50-year old precedent, reaffirmed several times by the SCOTUS itself is history... ...Clarence Thomas wrote: The Supreme Court must revisit and overrule past landmark decisions that legalized the right to obtain contraception, the right to same-sex intimacy and the right to same-sex marriage. Go fck yourself Clarance Thomas, and I hope your white-trash, frumpy hag wife, rots in prison for being a insurrection fomenting bytch.

Thomas called the above rulings,”errors.” Hey Clarence, let’s start with Loving v. Virginia error, and proceed from there.

Since today’s SCOTUS majority is keen on the history of rights, with Alito citing 13th century dogma as a basis for women to lose agency over their own own bodies today, perhaps a good judicial exercise would be for Thomas to perform, is to reflect on exactly the type of rights the Founders wanted for him to have.
