Then the abolishment of SSM, demolishing discrimination laws against sexual orientation, then race/color, and finally creed.
I don't have any "ire," I am a practicing Irish Roman Catholic, nor do I find this decision shocking, one would have to be living in Albania to not know it was coming, but what does surprise me is that the right in America thinks the Government should enforce their religious belief, not quite what the Founding Fathers had in mind
That is not true, just showed you how even the right thought it accurate back when it became law, I think you are referring to those "legal minds" of the Heritage Foundation, who are more political than juridical
i see the disinformation is already started....
I think getting rid of Roe (stare decisis) is a bad move - and needlessly complicate family planning as well as undermines personal sovereignty (my body my choice) - so i am sympathetic to a point.
But to take that and start to say "well birth control is next" is just fearmongering
Outside the anomolous Burger court, the Supreme Court is the most reactionary institution in American history.
SCOTUS didn't lift a finger to stop slavery, Jim Crow, voter suppression, or the bandit capitalism of the guilded age.
Never.
Does seem extreme, but why wouldn't it be, if conception is the denominator, why wouldn't going back to the beginning be applicable? Sounds impossible, but keep in mind this decision completely brushed privacy concerns aside, so what is stopping birth control being next?
Slavery was in the Constitution, the SC had no authority to stop it. The SC struck down segregation by governmental institutions but has no authority over private businesses. It also struck down some state laws regulating voters.
"Today, a US federal court struck down key provisions of Florida’s Senate Bill 90 that equated to voter suppression. Chief US District Judge Mark E. Walker ruled that Florida’s Senate Bill 90 violates federal law, unconstitutionally impeding the right to vote for Floridians. He noted that “the right to vote, and the VRA particularly, are under siege.”
I wouldn't go that far, there are scores of SCOTUS decisions that corrected injustices or allowed the Government to govern effectively
What we have now is a Court that reflects Mitch's tinkering with the process, none of Trump's appointees would have been approved under prior rules, and never will a nominee be considered where the President is one party and the Senate another. Court's have been political in the past, both ways, but never to the extreme this Court is, and it is all be design

Don't leave out they're going to ban interracial marriage as well. Eric Stalwell suggested that one.
Where is "slavery" in the Constitution? If I remember, the Founders specifically avoided using the term "slavery," and the only mention of their terminology, "enslaved population" is in the three fifths compromise which was eliminated
And now, that greviously wrong ruling might be reversed, which means you can set your own abortion laws in your own state; you just don't get to force every state to agree with you.
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness"...
please QUOTE all the "voter suppression"...in the law, and LINK to the court decision you claim..
what he said
No, using Alito's line of logic, it had nothing to do with conception, and I imagine a lot of things will be mentioned, the left didn't even have to politicalize the controversy, Mitch already did it for them
