The Supreme Court’s decision in Roe was as shameful as its decision in Dredd Scott — and for the same reason.

Actually they can go a much easier route.

Easier route? In this Congress?

Me: The anti-abortionists never show any understanding of the predicament the pregnant girls and women are in.

You: What planet are you from?

Me: What would you do if your daughter got pregnant and didn’t want her baby?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I would welcome my new grandchild.

You would murder your new grandchild.

See the difference?

“Easier route? In this Congress?”

Yep. 60 votes in the senate, majority in the house and a president that signs it and it’s done.

If it wasn’t for the filibuster rule they could easily do that today.

“You would murder your new grandchild ... See the difference?”

I’d welcome the grandchild too. How did that brain of yours conclude otherwise?

[windsorknot]

The title makes no sense

Very misleading. Typical.

[combat_boots]

Just the opposite. Babies are not considered persons with rights to the Left. A type of 3/5 person allows for ending a baby’s life as a result.

[Dr. Franklin]

The current state of morality in the country is somewhat dependent on easy access to abortion for “inconvenient” pregnancies. But access will now be less easy. We should attempt to achieve better morality in the country.
Today, many women who absolutely do not want a baby, simply “make it go away”. But now that won’t be quite so easy. We should plan to help women who have a baby they do not want. Orphanages and adoption agencies will be in greater demand.

The issue is that in the West, sex and procreation have been separated, and marriage and the traditional family are considered antiquated. Then when the population isn't growing, the elites resort to importing illegal immigrants. Hopefully, this is the first step in changing things and it begins by returning to having a set of rules for our women that they not kill their unborn children. That should have a domino effect on other things like women considering that they are choosing a potential parenting partner and not just a sexual partner who is "exciting".

Thank God Roe has been overturned finally!

Yes.

Part of our culture seems to focus on the Great Power of women. "Happy wife, happy life" sort of thing. A lot of silly men chase a lot of women and act like the approval of women is a difficult and valuable jewel to come by.

In fact, women have some "market value" between the ages of 18 and 30. The window is brief. And their goal in that time, ought to be finding a husband who will respect them and raise children with them. THIS is a difficult and valuable jewel to come by. Women ought to work much harder on finding that and on making themselves appealing to the RIGHT kind of men.

Our culture is approaching this completely backwards. And I hope that strict limits on abortion help open a few eyes.

Because you advocate for this:

“Because you advocate for this [picture of aborted babies]”

My original post was this question:

“Why do you suppose that spokesmen for the two sides never show the slightest understanding of the other side?”

I’d be interested in your (and others) answer.

[DoodleDawg]

If it wasn’t for the filibuster rule they could easily do that today.

But it is there and a bipartisan solution would be practically impossible to arrive at.

[aquila48]

Ironically they could get rid of the filibuster rule with a simple majority.

They could. But currently no majority exists.

Kamel could break the tie, but Munchkin would probably vote against it.
