Sheet, that's like trying to rid the house of cockroaches squashing them one at a time. She'll have to be running State for the next 25 years.
Is it possible that SCOTUS could return large portions of Roe back to the States (i.e. parental consent,informed consent, waiting periods etc.) while at the same time insisting that abortion itself is still a right?
Wait a while before you speak, and see how wise she is about the Gaza strip, and see if it will bring peace to Israel, and see if it pacifies the Palestinians in any way.
I do not think that it will, but I would love to be wrong
about this.
Possible. If in the interest of federalism, they defer to the states by overturning Roe, little will change substantially. Only a couple states will have outright bans (Utah?)...the rest will be a mix of permitting all types (California and the New England states) and some restrictions, such as those you mentioned, will be enacted in the South and Midwest.
The issue they've been ducking is whether abortion is a right because it is nowhere to be found in the Constitution...even by leftist inference as a 'living document.' Currently, the majority on the high court holds their noses and pretends that the Constitution says something that it does not. Judicial jujitsu requires them to imagine this right as existing but also finding exceptions to this imaginary right. Strait jackets would be put on people in the real world who acted like this.
My guess is that if the issue is handed back to the states, leftist justices on state supreme courts will find a similar abortion right under state constitutions. If not found, it will be placed there in Blue states by amendment.
Abu Mazen declares in Gaza: The Great Jihad has begun August 20, 2005, 9:25 PM (GMT+02:00) The Palestinian leader demanded Saturday that Israel hand over fully evacuated land in West Bank too, after Gaza. He set the Palestinian general election date for Jan 25, 2006. DEBKAfile: Abbas is increasingly borrowing from Hamas threatening rhetoric. It is now promising to carry on its terrorist campaign in the West Bank. In an earlier speech Friday, Abu Mazen told Gazans: We are marking a h historic celebration. Israels Gaza withdrawal was bought by the sacrifices of the Palestinian people and the blood of its martyrs.

point me to your blog, achievement, counter argument or stfu.
KMA. Your silly overreactionary slander of her isn't worth wasting any more of my time. So she takes a different position than you on one issue involving Israel, big deal. Get a grip.
