Dobbs watch thread (Row v Wade Overturned)

Hmmm- women in red states will be financed by corporations to flee to Blue states for help. List getting longer.

'fraid so.

Perhaps abortion will be available to the children of politicians and the wealthy elite, exactly in the same way those same children are protected in school by trained and armed security.

You can’t have it both ways.

True…

…

The first references to abortion in English law appeared in the 13th Century. The law followed Church teaching that abortion was acceptable until ‘quickening’, which, it was believed, was when the soul entered the fetus. The legal situation remained like this for centuries.

And now probably the funniest one…

…

Tesla has committed to covering travel-related expenses for employees who are forced to go out of state to have an abortion after Elon Musk’s electric car outfit recently relocated to Texas, where the governor has vowed to outlaw the procedure.

Musk has been hailed by conservatives for his pledge to acquire Twitter and alter its content moderation policies as well as his stated desire to vote for Republican candidates, though his car maker’s abortion-friendly policy flies in the face of his rightward turn.

Always find the worst example of misconduct possible to derail what most consider to be the right thing to do. Democrats never disappoint.

Democrats act as if abortion now carried the death penalty. All the decision has done is to rightfully turn the issue back to the states, as it always should have been. I’m sure California and New York can do a booming business.

Yeah, the right never does something like that🙄

Besides, he has a point. Even the most ardent of opponents of abortion found the right convenient en extremis.

Nah - all the decision will do is allow red states to outsource abortion to Blue states. But it must feeeel good.

The very way you chose to frame your example shows why “you never thought of it that way”.

Well then stop acting as if the world were coming to an end. I believe it was Bill Clinton that said abortion should be “rare but legal” and this will contribute toward the goal he set.

People in Red States don’t like to be dictated to by Leftist Loons in California. You live your lives and we’ll live ours.

Its embarrassing that half of the US will have less reproductive rights than most of the world. But yeah- nothings stopping you. The Blue States will bail you out though.

It won’t, though.

There is no evidence severe restrictions make abortions more rare.

Only less safe.

Safe, legal and rare.

This only makes sense if red state women were forced to have abortions. Was that happening?

Your formulation is exactly backwards. This is Rightist Loons in Texas dictating to blue states.

The coat hanger club has won.

fraid not, mostly, but not universally legal and few thought it was “okay”

if they adopt a 15 week law they’ll have less restrictive abortion laws than most of the world, and the blue states will be downright barbaric, following along with the paragons of leftist virtue in china and russia

I didn’t say it was universally legal, but it was legal under English common law.

As far as “okay”, they thought quickening was when the soul entered the body. So why wouldn’t it be “okay”?

ask them, lots of legal scholars and philosophers of the day commented on it.

Yes really. You think they had pregnancy tests in 1776?
