Basic Question to my fellow Freepers: How would a Supreme Court ruling overturning parts of Roe V Wade affect Novembers elections? (try answering based on what you objectively think the outcome will be & not based on what you hope happens)๐
It is a long way until November. I think itโs impact will be minimal, especially if the court ruling says this is a matter for states to address. Itโs going to be hard to cover up inflation, warmongering, immigration, etc. Plus, the extreme woke in the Democratic Party are going to be on full display for all Americans to see. And letโs not forget our children in schools, if they continue repeating that they know better than us parents how to raise and teach our kids, that will be an underlying red wave. Our biggest challenge is going to be RINO Republicans Who will sell out Americans on every topic.
There are over 1000 free pregnancy care centers in this country last time I checked. We are already established and in place.
All I have to say is supposition, but here goes.
My guess is, if this leak is true, one of two things will happen.
1) Every leftist and pro-abortion Republicrat will flood the polls in November to vote Democrat.
or
2) We will see the worst rioting since the Civil War, which will disgust enough people that the Republicans sweep everything.
One Caveat, Number two is what we Normals thought in 2020

THE JEWISH RALLY FOR ABORTION JUSTICE.
MAY 17.
WASHINGTON DC.
Come if you're Jewish.
Come if you're not Jewish.
Show up for abortion justice.
Spread the word.
I think this represents a huge opportunity for grassroots conservatives in swing states to rally the troops, boost turnout, and make headway both on state legislative seats and in Congress.
The RNC will be no help. The media will be against us as always. But now is the time for pro-lifers, pro-2A folks, patriots, Deplorables, and anyone else who loves God and country to say “Let’s take our state back now!”
One big plus for us is this makes Trump and even McConnell look good. People who have been feeling dejected at seeing so much of what Trump accomplished just swept away and wondering whether the Republicans would ever post a lasting win now have this. After 50 years we finally overturned Roe!
By contrast the leftists have nothing. They don’t win any new converts talking about abortion. And every single other issue (the economy, the border, inflation, food and gas prices, tranny yadda yadda, race yadda yadda) works against them.
I think we were already in good shape and this helps us a lot. And the more the commies shriek about Roe, the better it is for us.
The left has never hesitated to fight us, and has never worried about the consequences of winning.
Anyone who rallies for murder in the name of Yahweh is just asking for it!
87% of counties in USA have zero abortion clinics. The few abortion clinics in the USA are in low birth rate zones, such as San Francisco, which are dying out. Young people know enough about ultra sound scans to reject the violence of abortion.
Read this Twitter account starting on May 2nd.
By leaking the draft decision now, the Left is compromising its impact on November, which tells me that the purpose of the leak has nothing to do with the election: it’s an attempt to change the Court’s decision.
A late June decision would have had a far greater impact on the election, as it would be definitive and thus more polarizing.
I think this backfires on the left: they get neither their decision nor electoral advantage.
But, boy, they will piss and moan for the next five months... nothing new there.
No but thats because they tend to get a free ride with media & elites. We always second guess ourselves because we aren’t used to prevailing over institutional bias ๐
This will probably motivate the younger folks that were going to pass on the election to turn out, in some states this will have the effect of making the Dims completive where they would not have been this election cycle.
Long term this is probably bad news for the GOP, for the past 50 years Roe has motivated social conservatives to turn out and given the GOP a electoral advantage. I suspect many of those same folks will figure their work is done and will slowly drift away from political activism.
On the left this will likely motivate the younger generation to become politically active, I would not be surprised in 20-25 years to see the majority of states have legalized abortion.
The young will determine the fate of abortion
That makes sense to me. Seems like it stirs a hornets nest and tells pro-life folks that everything is in hand.
I agree the pro and anti abortion votes will probably cancel each other out and the economy will be the big decider although that is assuming the Democrats, maybe with a little support from Murkowski or Collins doesn’t repeal the filibuster and pack the court. It is easy to underestimate the sheer stupidity and destructiveness of the left.They have no core values other than a lust for power and if denied may well toss a turd in the punch bowl.

It has been a LONG time since my one-semester high school law class, so I could be remembering wrong, but didn’t the Roe vs Wade decision say that the right to privacy was implied in the constitution, and that that was why the government had no business deciding women couldn’t get abortions?
If so, does overturning it mean that SCOTUS no longer believes that Americans have a constitutional right to privacy?
Don’t get me wrong, I think abortion is an abomination and I pray it ends, permanently!
At the same time, eliminating the assumed right to privacy opens the doors to yet another layer of government overreach.
The abortion crazies are going to go out and vote Dhimmicrap anyway. This will energize the Republican base. The Red Wave is likely to be a Red Tsunami.
I think the left knows what their fate is in November, a loss, maybe so huge that it sets them and their radical agenda back a very long time. This leak is to blunt the effect, but more so to revitalize the effort to nuke the senate filibuster to facilitate jamming their unpopular losing agenda down our throats before they get voted out. That agenda includes the dead new green deal, amnesty, and legalized voter fraud. This is their battle of the bulge.
No. That was the interesting thing on the original opinion. It was never firmly decided on any constitutional principle. The “privacy” argument came in a judges argument about ‘in the shadow of a penumbra’(Wtf that means) that could be interpreted, under the right circumstances, as an occasional right to privacy. Part of what made Roe so inane was its lack of basis in anything having to do with them constitution given that the main job of the Supreme Court is to determine the viability of a law when reviewing its constitutionality. It was unfortunately a political decision without a basis in constitutionality (at least in reading through their decision). Though I think life and death matters fall outside the realm of privacy arguments and should be decided by society at large, it might have been interesting had they based their argument in something plausibly solid. It was a political decision given a patchwork argument for cover ๐
And it won't do tehm any more good than all their whining about Citizens United did. Dhimmicraps have NO idea what the people are concerned about.
Frankly, right now, they are coming across as lunatics bent on killing as many babies (especially minority babies) as possible.
