Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

[The Minsky Moment]

Is it right that I read the New York gun control law that's been overturned is 108 years old?

Yes and generations of legislators, judges and scholars lived and died without anyone ever thinking there was anything unconstitutionally unfirm about it.

One of the most iconic episodes in American history, glorified repeatedly in film, are the Earp brothers' adventures in western boom towns.  And of course whenever Wyatt took on the badge, he put in place the sensible rule - no guns in town.  There is no record of any frustrated unarmed cow hand invoking the 2nd amendment . . .

The appeal to history is just a judicial 3 card monty game, where the "history" always seems to support one's side, and where the inconvenient examples are just swept away. 

The end result is work like Thomas' opinion in that case falls that repeatedly into unintended parody of itself, for example as it seriously discusses the supposed details of 14th century regulations of lances vs. dirks.

From WSJ, a graph on where states stand on abortion at the moment:

Missouri's trigger law to ban all abortions kicked in minutes after the SCOTUS decision.  Medical emergency only.  No exemption for rape and incest, which are apparently acts of love when she's really hot.

Missouri has just triggered its abortion ban law. It will now only be allowed in case of grave danger to the mother's physical health.

Edit: CdM'ed.

This is the Ozarks.  If there were exemptions for incest basically all abortion would be legal.

Canada is going to have to increase its quota of refugees.

Said it before, will say it again - this will be like the dog catching the car...

Several states have already caught the car, humped it against its will, and then refused it an abortion.

Canada is going to have to increase its quota of refugees.

They can just come to Joisey (or Oregon).

Read only if you want to puke inside your own mouth:

I was referring to the post that they are coming for homosexuals next.

The 2022 election really needs to be a referendum on abortion.  I doubt it will.

Let's focus on the important stuff, like Trans ppl in sports or interns at lefty organizations.

[Admiral Yi]

Those are good ones.  So are the Ukraine war, sports, movies, books, the economic situation, etc.
