You don’t have to believe all human life is sacred to want to stop abortions on the grounds that you think it’s murder of innocent babies, though. And it’s not my view, so I won’t be defending it… but it’s no more inconsistent than a vegan who accepts that arable farming requires the killing of rodents.

Supreme Court leaves Texas abortion ban in place - SCOTUSblog
Nearly 24 hours after a Texas law that bans nearly all abortions in the state went into effect, the Supreme Court on Wednesday confirmed what it had previously only implied through its failure to act the night before: The court rejected a request to block enforcement of the law, which abortion provi

One wonders why, if rape can suddenly be eliminated in Texas, it hasn't been done already. Just saying...
In any case, if the governor cares about rape, he has a lot that could be done immediately. One thing he could do is to provide the funding and resources needed to test all of the backlogged rape kits. In Houston alone there are 16,000 rape kits that sit in storage untested. In Dallas there's another 10,000 kits. If they spent the time and resources needed to test these kits, they'd probably be able to catch a number of rapists, likely several serials rapists.

I dunno, that Stilley guy seems to be an ideal case study of the kind of utter lowlife who would try and use this law to make money. Then you've got the doctor who is putting his own neck on the block to stand up for women's health, with little prospect of anything but grief coming to him as a result. Just a colossal PR headache for the forced birth arseholes.

Can’t quite believe what is happening there right now, makes me realise there are some things I’d taken for granted would not actually come to pass, like reversal of roe, and that I was completely wrong to feel that way.
The newest judge, Amy, says she doesn’t see why women shouldn’t be forced to carry to term and then simply give the baby up for adoption.
Like I say can’t get my head round that this is really happening, maybe because I was born after this argument seemed settled. The whole idea of progress is a lie isn’t it.

Sometimes progress feels like a blip, and that the default setting is right wing patriarchal misery

How come a devout catholic can legitimately be involved in deciding this case, I just don’t get it.
If they do this, dismantle / reverse the ruling that’s been in place for two generations, what do they think will happen as a result? Are they just thinking about their own careers or their personally getting into heaven or what.

I’m so depressed by this. It will be summer before they actually do their ruling but the fact that these arguments were even able to be heard. This is why politics matters & why trump wasn’t funny. I’ve got 4 teenage girl cousins in America maybe that helps make it feel more directly terrifying idk.

It's even worse than that. The current makeup of the Supreme Court is 56% Catholic. The other religions represented are 33% Jewish, with the rest being some variety of Protestant. Amy Coney Barrett is some really hardcore sect of Catholic. All of the Catholics were groomed by the Federalist Society to eventually be placed on the SC with the idea of overturning Roe v. Wade.
That isn't vaguely like the makeup of the US. The religious makeup of the US is only 20% Catholic, 47% are Protestant, Jewish 1.9%, and Mormon 1.6%, and less than 1% of a variety of other religions.

Get thee behind me, Santa
Biden said Wednesday that he supports Roe v. Wade and he's spoken out repeatedly this year against restrictions on abortion rights in Texas and elsewhere - but it doesn't seem like a big priority for him and I don't think any of his remarks have resulted in his administration actually doing anything.
