The move to add new abortion bans "will be swift" if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Sunday, adding that the Senate will do everything it can to codify a woman's right to choose.

"With this leaked opinion, the court is looking at reversing 50 years of women's rights and the fall will be swift. Over 20 states have laws in place already," Klobuchar, D-Minn., told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.

"I think the question that voters are going to be asking when 75% of people are with us on this, is who should make this decision," Klobuchar said. "Should it be a woman and her doctor or a politician? Should it be Ted Cruz making this decision or a woman and her family? Where are women’s equal rights?"

On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed a leaked draft opinion of a Supreme Court ruling indicating that five conservative justices, three of whom were appointed by former President Trump, are poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

1. A lot of other things are going to happen swiftly, too, if this goes through. -nt

2. THIS

I posted in another thread that there are other cases that were decided based on Roe and those will fall, including a woman's right to not require someone else's "consent" to her decision to obtain medical procedures such as a hysterectomy - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=16672863

3. You can expect OK to be the first state under rule of the new theocracy.

They have been planning the day for 45 years. With numerous trigger laws, the minute the decesion is handed down, women in this state will be it's property.

4. What did people think would happen in 2016 if trump won?

5. Not to mention Bush. Would Al Gore have put Alito on the Supreme Court?

7. Exactly

10. When I used to make my own presidentual GOTV signs for my nabe, occasionally for...

University areas - I often had a specific sign highlighting The Supreme Court choices.

-sigh- 😔

12. If for no other reason, the Supreme Court should have been reason enough

6. And, peaceful, creative direct action and civil disobedience should be just as swift by millions.

The problem is those millions of Americans who have to react swiftly are generally unwilling to be inconvenienced, even if their freedom is at stake. I reference many recent current events and the lack of impassioned response to them all as a basis for this declaration.

Not only do our actions need to be swift but also sustained. If we wait for our leaders to lead, we’ll be too late. If we wait for corrupt government to right itself, we’ll be too late. The grassroots card is the only real play our majority has left.

8. She's right, the slave states will fall all over themselves

trying to outdo each other in oppressing the female half of their unhappy populations.

They will be unhappy, too, as women decide men just aren't worth the risk.

I was around the last time those laws were in force. Believe me, it is going to happen.

[speak easy]

9. 'women decide men just aren't worth the risk'

and walk out the door

11. Or don't walk in the door, in the first place

I know a lot of girls and young women who avoided dating in high school and college. They had their eyes on a different prize than a shotgun wedding and a bunch of kids with a man they outgrew almost immediately.

That's what women in slave states will be facing, a combination of forced childbirth and massive penalties for going through it.
