Goodbye Roe ; Hello Back-alley Butchers

Amazing how people forget before RVW.

Rich people will fly to europe to get abortions.

Poor people will get coat-hangers, pelvic infections , sterility and possible death.

Unbelieveable.

Even my 91 year old aunt/godmother is past outraged.

8. Exactly, and Roberts agrees that it should be up to individual states.

So if a couple states like Mississippi and Alabama outlaw abortion, all it means is that the women will travel out of state for their legal abortions.

I really don't think the republicans will overturn Roe vs Wade nationwide. They know this too good of a wedge issue to get working class people to shoot theirself in the foot and vote republican.

10. That may be right

but isn't it even more of a wedge issue if it is overturned and battles rage in a dozen states over abortion rights?

4. As a man, this is what worries me:

Some states will allow an exception if the woman claims she is raped. I worry about thousands of phony or bogus claims of "rape" and fabricated accusations coming from women seeking to get legal abortions. As a consequence, many men could be wrongly dragged through the mud in the courts.

5. Or

No longer allow abortions in cases of rape. That would be worse and send a signal to rapists that they can force women to bear their bastard child for life.

7. The Age of Taliban in the U.S.

Provided by W and the religious right extremists. Those moderates who voted for W must be sick now.

9. Not sure

CAFTA is about to reach the House and from what I can tell, mods love free trade and loss of jobs. It makes us all rich.
