Actually said "what the fuck?" out loud when I read this last night. Roe Vs Wade is well known here in the UK too.
The Handmaid's Tale was a warning, not a manifesto.

No, they're not, and no, it's not. Why echo a talking point used by people who don't actually give a shit about black people or women? Yes, I'm aware Margaret Sanger in the 20s blah blah. The reality is, if we wanted to reduce the number of abortions, we would address the racist and misogynist roots of poverty.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
Is it too late to abort the conservative justices on the court? What are the abortion laws in D.C...
Thanks Clinton next time don't run such a shitty campaign.
My theory is that it was leaked by conservatives.
It's an election year. They need all the time they can for Americans to cool down after a widely unpopular decision. Even 2 months of extra time is better than nothing.
And so people will be angry. They'll protest. They'll walk out of work. And then the media cycle continues churning, and monetary needs pile up, and just like every other awful thing conservatives have done, it all blows over in ~6 months because people don't have the ability to keep the media focused or to maintain prolonged protests. Then they just accept that life gets shittier.
Just imagine being the religious extremist that sides with decisions like this. Go sign up for ISIS, guys, you have a lot in common.
If you are insulted because someone didn't visit your state, you need to grow up.
Or require candidates to make one visit to all 50 states.
If you look at the map for visits to state, a lot of states are visited by neither candidate and the "swing" states or "strong base" states are the only ones that get visited.
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.

I see it didn't take long for the usual crowd to shift blame to anything other than the people in control of the 3 branches refusing to do anything about it. Stupid arguments like 'RBG fucked us' and 'voters not getting up to vote'. Politicians sat on their fucking asses for decades, waiting for the republicans to enact their nefarious plan.

Will be interesting to see if this decision gives the democrats a rallying point to turn around the midterm election.
i mean ya people have pride and self respect? like if one candidate actively came to your house held you down and shit on your face would you still feel like you had to vote for them even if they where the best option? and would it be your fault if you didn't and then they lost?
So how many republicans are going to adopt these kids?
