Bye Bye Roe v Wade

[RandySF]

I’m sorry so many people took you for granted.

[Squinch]

1. Yep. In two years, we won't recognize this country.

[rurallib]

3. sad to say I think you are correct

so much for that vaunted "checks and balances" system.
When everybody has allegiance to Dear Leader, We The People are fucked.

[ADX]

26. Two years? Shit, I don't recognize it NOW...

...and it's only going to get worse.

[ismnotwasm]

2. Oh but economic anxiety

Economic justice fixes everything. They gonna see now.

[nycbos]

7. And ideological purity.

[standingtall]

22. do not worry there will be plenty of economic injustice to go around too

[oasis]

4. Now Susan Sarandon can chalk up another Trump SCOTUS appointment. nt

[Freddie]

5. How about some more bad news in one day?

First unions are screwed, now this. Maybe the country can recover by the time my granddaughter is my age. She's 7.

[niyad]

8. at the rate we are going, not sure we will HAVE a country much longer!!

[niyad]

6. time to resurrect the feminist health clinics, and our underground.

21. never been arrested...feeling that my no longer be true in the future

[niyad]

23. arrested at the very least.

[dembotoz]

30. underground railroad has some appeal hope it does not come to that

[niyad]

32. sadly, there may be no choice. a somebody pointed out, Rachel said last night that, probably

within a year, abortion would be illegal in at least half the states. We may not have much time to organize.

[dembotoz]

34. would imagine a whole lot of secrecy around getting involved

[niyad]

35. in all likelihood. and absolutely necessary, given the crazies out there.

[dembotoz]

36. Keep my name around and pm me as the need arises.

In Wisconsin
U are way more plugged in than i

[niyad]

37. thank you. I will certainly do that, hoping against hope that it will not b necessary.

9. In Canada, abortion is still legal.

I expect there will be abortion clinics opening up in towns just across the border if Roe v Wade is repealed.

[RandySF]

10. Fine if one lives near the bot, or can afford travel

Like certain celebrities.

[J_William_Ryan]

29. Abortion

will still be legal in the United States, but not in all the states when Roe is overturned.

Of course that's not the point.

The point is that privacy rights will be eroded and government authority increased.

[Coventina]

11. And marriage equality. n/t

[minstrel76]

12. Canada sounds so much nicer than the U.S. right now.

[MariaCSR]

13. I need to work on getting my passport.

[Tipperary]

17. You need much more than a passport to move to another country.

It is not an easy thing to do.

[Wwcd]

28. True. Canada has become much more difficult to move to. Even those

American asylum seekers begging for comfort from the oppression of human rights abuses.

Canada is a difficult process .
I've checked.

[workinclasszero]

14. just a matter of time now till rusty coat hangers in back alleyways come back

Of course the rich will have no problems hopping on a jet to go get a safe legal abortion any time they want.

I guess we were being to polite to the GOP fascists when they stole Obama's pick for SCOTUS huh?

[lunasun]

16. The rich have money to get on a jet and go have a safe abortion somewhere

The middle class have credit cards to get on a jet and go have a safe abortion

The poor will bare the brunt of this turn back

[workinclasszero]

18. Many poor girls will die

That is a stone cold fact

[Retrograde]

15. IMHO, they'll chip away at it rather than repeal it directly

We've already seen the beginnings of this - pharmacies allowed not to fill birth control prescriptions because of conscience, draconic regulations for clinics that perform abortions, yesterday's ruling on letting pregnancy counseling centers not mention termination as an alternative. I think the next step will be a state deciding to ban birth control for minors and have that upheld on the grounds of states' rights, then a state will ban abortion with maybe a few end-case exceptions and that will be upheld.

Some of the more liberal states will continue to allow abortion on demand, but I can see a large swath of the country where it will not be available. And maybe even birth control will be harder to get there.

[BannonsLiver]

19. They have some need for the carrot

I've told GOPers I know for years the people they vote for don't really want Roe to go away, they need it to ensure their loony base turns out every November. Yeah, they have gays, immigrants and others to hate, but nothing really got the fundies going quite like abortion did. Like catnip.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Like catnip. Oh for sure.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Bye Bye America.

Hello, Mother Russia. And, a big, hearty FUCK YOU!!!! TO Injustice Kennedy and the traitor, Mitch McConnell.

[niyad]

24. FUCK YOU to the reichwing, woman-hating, gestational slavers of scotus and evangelicals.

[ck4829]

25. +1

[Initech]

33. Fuck the evangelicals!!!!
