so now what, where do we go from Roe v Wade's demise ?

[Celticguy]

Obviously this is something that has people fired up and ready for action.

If you are a democrat the obvious answer is to drop everything and pass a federal law that basically duplicated the pseudo-law that was RvW while you still own the Congress and the White House.

But CG what about the filibuster ?

Didnt the Senate set it aside for something "special" before ?

Well you could make a case for this being special.

But drop everything means "everything".

It takes time to write legislation and mush it through the process and its almost July and they always take August off. They cannot waste anymore time on DJT witch hunting if they want to do something meaningful for the rank and file.

And if they cant bring themselves to take action for THIS then they prove themselves to be the bad joke they are.

Obviously I hope they chose to do something stupid like sit on their thumbs because I am not in favor of abortions at all. But this is as big an issue as we've seen in 150 years or more so there is no point in trying to ignore it.

So what do you think ? (no bans but I have many dems on ignore to filter out the noise)

I predict California will promote murder tourism to attract some new revenue.

Republicans need to tell America what kind of prison sentence a woman should get for aborting a pregnancy in states where it is made illegal.

My sweet but ditzy liberal cousin in SoCal is calling on her FB friends to "vote um out".

I didnt have the heart to tell her that SCOTUS are appointed for life.

Why is it so hard for people who hate one another to partition?

The states that voted Republican don't belong in MY country.
Only humans should vote anyway, not devolved mutants like trumpanzees.

 

[zymurgy]

since you can no longer force your views on citizens of a state you do not belong to - mobilize

donate money to help low income women travel to a state with reasonable abortion laws. Plenty of "red states" will allow abortions.

If you live in a state you consider draconian - MOVE

I am trying to understand just how Biden and the democrats can conjure up a federal law for abortion to override a decision by SCOTUS that says the feds have no power over abortion.........

It is exactly BECAUSE there is no federal legislation or constitutional provision that the state laws have to be observed.

SCOTUS did not say THOU SHALT NOT ABORT
