On Friday, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision establishing a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, the three Democratic appointees — Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — wrote a forthright response casting the majority’s decision as a blow to women’s civil rights.
“With sorrow — for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection — we dissent,” they wrote.
“Today, the Court … says that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of,” they continued. “A State can force her to bring a pregnancy to term, even at the steepest personal and familial costs.”
Citing laws that have already been passed in more conservative states and would now take effect, they warned of dire consequences in states that will now be free to ban abortion without exceptions for rape or incest, or when bringing a pregnancy to term risks the mother’s health.

Many companies have announced they will pay for trips to states that have legal abortions if their employees live in states where they aren't legal. On top of that, the MSM is clearly on the side of the abortionists. Are YOU going to boycott the companies and cancel your TV subscription to stop putting money in their coffers?
The real money is going to come from outfits like Planned Parenthood. I doubt your ‘boycott’ will go far, there.
And most of the MSM viewers probably agree with the funding.
The truth is that, at the moment of conception, the mother and the Father have NO RIGHTS!
They have only the responsibility to protect the baby in utero, nourish it, love it and raise it to adult hood.
The only “right” is universal, “the right to life,” and it is the baby’s!
That’s oversimplifying things and reducing them to a single concern of yours, and you may want to expand on it.
(There are plenty of reasons why parents will want to exert rights over their children and the children’s ‘rights’; and plenty of people today saying that parents have ‘NO RIGHTS!’ when it comes to their children - children essentially belong to the State.)

Planned Parenthood gets a lot of it's money from the woke corporations we keep making rich.
And most of the MSM viewers probably agree with the funding.
If those us who don't continue to pay for TV, then they'll still get our money whether we believe them or not.
Besides, Netflix.
“Planned Parenthood gets a lot of it’s money from the woke corporations we keep making rich.”
I think they used to get a big chunk of money from the U.S. government, i.e., us via tax dollars. Not sure if that’s still a thing.
So murdering the child makes her forget the rape? That’s how you propose people deal with violence against themselves, by committing violence against some innocent bystander?
“Your opinion on what is constitutional and what is not doesn’t really matter”.
So true but my ability to read Alito’s decision where he clearly expresses that abortion falls to the states is important since someone has to explain it to you. 😅
I guess I'm just not blessed with your imagination. Justice Alito is quite clear where he says responsibility for regulating abortion lies: "Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives." Not state representatives or federal representatives but merely representatives. So it's not necessarily a state matter and Justice Alito never says it is.
I just don’t believe that boycotts are very effective. I prefer ‘Pro-cotts’ - supporting interests that we believe are doing real good.
In a lot of cases, having to carry the child just does even more damage. Again, I think it should be up to the woman who was raped.
(What do you suppose the impact would be on a 13 or 14 year old girl who was not only raped, but then forced to bear the child? And if someone who goes to the ER after a rape is treated in the usual way, how do you know if there was an abortion or not?)
I simply do not see this issue in purely black-and-white terms in every case.
Basically, a few birth control pills does the same thing.
I didn’t say that at all. I cannot imagine why you would think that.
I love your ability to ignore the obvious. 😆
But, If you kill the mother, you are guilty of killing the baby.
Where does this woman stand?
If you cut the “not yet human” out of the woman’s body, are you charged with murder or kidnapping?
Happened to my stepsister. None of us ever thought the baby needed to die. He is my nephew. Very intelligent and conservative. Continually gives the leftists and immoral people like you grief because he isn't afraid to argue with them.
My stepsister did fine. Raised him with the help of my parents. Later married and had two more kids. What happened to her was a crime, but it ended that day precisely because she and our parents never made it a part of anything that happened afterward and didn't try to achieve a better yesterday by killing her son.
It worked for the left. While we "lived and let live", they patronized the companies that pushed the leftist agenda and avoided those that didn't. We can see the result.
Unfortunately much of this "live and let live" was just code speak for "I need to be entertained", IMHO. We talk about boycotting the NFL among others, but as long as we're paying for TV the networks will make their money off of us whether we watch them or not.
I prefer ‘Pro-cotts’ - supporting interests that we believe are doing real good.
I'm for that too, but after letting the left take over corporate America, good luck in finding what's left of them.
I’m glad that her choice turned out well for everyone.
