Supreme Court Ruling time again

[Ax^]

We've got some particularly nasty, thick scum over here bigging up the terrible decision. All the more perplexing given that MP Benton is openly gay.

According to wiki he previously supported SPUC, and if true the above isn't a surprise.

Let's just hope these US fundamentalist nutjobs don't have a shitload of outriders here in the UK and Europe; hiding in plain sight under a banner that might sound reasonable at a casual glance, like 'gender critical feminists' or something.

A wonderful land inhabited by a disproportionate number of wankers I’m afraid. I don’t think I will voluntarily be going to the great Satan ever again. Apologies decent people

I would imagine a land with a fairly average proportion of wankers

[frogwoman]

The dual power shit with two arms of government passing, or trying to pass, completely opposing laws and with heavily armed supporters (loads on one side and small but increasingly on the other)... I don’t see this ending well honestly

 

[scifisam]

Maybe they should just pass one law to make everything legally the same as in the 50s again, since that's clearly what they want, except probably with even fewer rights for non-white people

Let's just hope these US fundamentalist nutjobs don't have a shitload of outriders here in the UK and Europe; hiding in plain sight under a banner that might sound reasonable at a casual glance, like 'gender critical feminists' or something.

Er, just because you don't like gender critical feminists it doesn't mean you can make this sort of weird fucking allegation about them.

I'm feeling the same way.

Apple, Disney and other companies are willing to pay travel expenses for anyone who wants abortion in another state?

 

[not-bono-ever]

and they might be prosecuted for assisting now....

yeh I know. I have found septics to be welcoming and warm people in my time there- no politics tho.

I'm not a USian, but how would that work...? As far as I'm aware they've no rule there against travelling to a state and doing a thing that is legal in that state, even if it might be illegal in your home state.

Happy to be corrected of course, and with the fundy brigades out in force over Roe vs. Wade I'm sure we're going to have a lot more to come in this particular scenario.

They're working on it.

Missouri wants to stop out-of-state abortions. Other states could follow.

What an awful, awful day. What on earth comes next ? Outlawing contraception ?

What an awful, awful day. What on earth comes next ? Outlawing contraception ?

I saw on the facebook that at least one judge is working on it - can't seem to find it right now.

However....

Supreme Court decision suggests the legal right to contraception is also under threat

The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade suggests other rights founded on the same principle of privacy, including gay sex, same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, and the freedom to use contraception, are now also called into question.

If a state tried anything like that, you'd just take it to the US Supreme Court and then...ah, shit!
