That’s my wife too. There’s something about making a decision that my wife just doesn’t like. We’re being sexists just for saying this - probably.

You’re right it’s more than that. 60% of public, so likely 70% or so of women. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...on-abortion-restrictions-rights-polarization/
I ain’t stupid. There’s a daughter too. I’m outnumbered.
Stopped at the gas station this morning on my way to work. USA Today headline says “supreme court’s legitimacy in question after ruling”.
The media in this country is such a joke.
The media in this country is such a joke.
MemberS of Congress are calling for the impeachment of justices, the media blows but they are merely the messaging arm of the parties. Our precious Democracy gets tossed out the window really quick when things don't go their way.
Now it all makes sense...
MAGA Lawmaker Thanks Trump For 'Historic' Supreme Court Ruling For 'White Life'

I used to like the actual paper. Blurb for all 50 states. Good college sports coverage.
I thought their schtick was always COLOR PHOTOS!!!!!. The internet killed them.

Her music is beyond bad. Ludicrous bad - like we’re the butt of a joke.
That’s freaking ridiculous. Attacking our institutions is just fine if the cause is right.
Envision a leftist court upholding gun laws. What would the response from teh right be?
Yeah, it's yabbut...however, we're just broken at this point. The serious people have left.
I think it's split, more or less, equally.
I think most women - more than half - are not in favor of abortion on demand at any stage of the pregnancy.
I think - maybe - most women are in favor of some sort of abortion at a very early stage in the pregnancy.
This is why this ruling is a good thing for the country - it spawns discussion and can lead to a compromise at a more local level. If the US Congress was doing it's job, it would craft a reasonable national compromise but, as everything else, that is impossible in the current environment.
The irony of calling Jan 6 a threat to our democracy while saying the SC is not legitimate is totally lost on the left.
This is where I feel we’ll land. The far left and far right will fall by the wayside (just saw a clip of Sandy Cortez on Meet the Press - “Women will die!”). We’ll end up with legal abortion during the first trimester and for those situations with extenuating circumstances dealing with the health of the mother and rape/incest, among others. Won’t be an easy, smooth and consistent road. Some states will attempt to ban abortion completely and some will approve abortion without any restrictions. But cooler heads will prevail and we’ll come to a consensus, however tenuous it might be. Decreasing numbers of hard asses on each side will lose their forums.
There isn't going to be a compromise on anything. 25-26 states will ban abortion in all cases with very limited exceptions (in some cases none) . Other states will continue on as they have done with no changes.
How on earth do you come to conclusion there will be some national compromise as you describe? That's likely not even feasible on a federal level.... absent a constitutional ammendment.
I like Roe. I like something just after the 20 week test. But popular opinion should be immaterial to the S.Ct's analysis and decision. If the majority prefer abortions have to find a new path to legalization
I don't think many people are gullible enough to think they had no idea how they would vote on Roe vs wade.
Lie or not, they intentionally misled and that is obvious to anyone not born yesterday
You mean the illegitimacy of the court? It is already well established that 1 seat was stolen.
It was supposed to be apolitical. That is a load of crap. Legitimate court? Hardly
Annnnd this is an example of why I refuse to get worked up about Jan. 6th.
Why are you attacking our institutions? I thought that’s what you hated most about Trump?
worked for a company for almost 20 years that employed a large number of IT folks who live in surrounding rural/ conservative counties. I’m now watching a huge % of these super conservative, church-going women absolutely light up social media with uterus-flipping-the-bird and uterus-don’t-tread-on-me memes. Certainly not a rigorous poll but making me think the religious right might have caught a tiger by the tail a little bit on this one.
Define “rights” as enumerated in the Constitution (or added via constitutionally-prescribed processes) that are also celebrated by True Progressives.
I get it, but that’s a bizarre statement to read about a country claiming democracy.
Lucy, thought you might be interested in reading the opinions of an experienced maternal fetal medicine physician who admits to not knowing all the answers to questions such as when life begins. Nevertheless she places her focus on the health of the mother along with complications which arise during pregnancy that can affect the health of the mother.
She shares her knowledge about dealing with pregnancy with the mother, but ultimately leaves decisions to the mother and family when ethical principles collide. She avoids answering the question, "What would you do ?" . In contrast we have lots of politicians who think they have all the answers.
A sampling of the physicians approach to the complexities of fetal medicine and decisions which can occur during pregnancy are as follows,
I am ethically bound and take very seriously the responsibility as a physician to allow the patient and her family to decide the course that they feel is best for them (autonomy). I also have a responsibility to act with beneficence in that I must act for the benefit of the patient. Sometimes those ethical principles collide with each other, and sometimes I do not agree with the course the family has decided but that is not my choice.
The other side is arguing about the value of life before birth — does a fetus have the same rights as a person? Both questions boil down to one issue: does a woman’s autonomy trump a fetus’ right to existence or vice versa? Again, I do not know the correct answer.
Best part: 10:30------Kamala admits she's a woman, and the daughter of a woman, and the granddaughter of a woman.
Yea I forgot to mention that. She’s probably in trouble with the woke crowd.
To show how naive I am, I have been preaching for years that liberals and conservatives often forget how many values they share together. Values such as human rights.
