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

[Threviel]

Roe v Wade made US abortion law go a bit to far. In most other countries you can abort in the first trimester, up until a certain week. Roe v Wade made it legal to abort until the day of birth more or less.

No it didn't, I have no idea where that comes from, although I saw some talking head on US TV making the same claims.  The Roe and Casey line of cases permit significant regulation of abortion, particularly beyond the first trimester.  So much so that even now as Roe is still the law of the land, it is virtually impossible for many American women to either get counseling or get access to care.

Happy to be corrected, thank you. I was going by a 20 year old lecture on American politics in my pol-sci 101 equivalent. I will immediately call my University and correct them. Also I failed that class.

It will never cease to amaze me how this current crop of GOPtards revel in their own nastiness.

I think the word you were looking for there is misogyny.

[The Larch]

That too.

The fucked up part isn't that Matt Gaetz is an asshole, it is that being an asshole like this gets you elected these days.

The world is full of assholes after all.

Gaetz is a pedophile.

That's one way to ensure that your romantic interests aren't over-educated (yet).

Hey, you get to pay to fuck underage girls and get away with it, nasty tweets just get to be a perk.

Considering that many women use an app to track their periods, that database probably already exists.

I wonder if he realizes that most women prefer that microwave dinner with their pets over a $400 gourmet meal with men like him.

I'm curious to see how things will change when more men start to realize that a whole hell of a lot of women view singledom as a joy and not a burden anymore. There are wine bottle covers with a drawing of a sexy woman saying "Old Maid This Mother Fucker".

Men aren't competing with other men. They're competing with a relaxed night in on our own. And that's a tough competition.

I've been thinking about this a lot, as you can imagine, and I'm pretty frustrated at how ignorant Democrats are being.

Why aren't these supposed White Knights for women pushing the things that have actually been proven to minimize abortions: universal birth control and sex education?

Y'all want to end abortion? Here's how.

Make that their platform. And when the Republicans cry "think of the children" claim that that's exactly what they're doing. Why aren't the Republicans? Make them prove that this isn't about controlling those with uteruses. But as usual, the Dems suck at building a cohesive story and sticking with it.

In the meantime, I'm going to start building home abortion kits using a couple of tubes, a Mason jar and a suction plunger. Supposed to work pretty good. Very popular in the US around 1970ish.

Coming up next: having to register your name in anti-abortion states when you buy home pregnancy kits.

[Sheilbh]

Well some of the old legacy laws or early drafts are already so broad they'd ban some forms of contraception as well as abortion.

From what I can tell he isn't struggling to get action.
