Could the repeal of “roe v wade” be trumps real legacy

Do you actually believe that or is it simply helpful to fit your narrative? The OED says abortion is ;
1. The act of giving untimely birth to offspring, premature delivery, miscarriage; the procuring of premature delivery so as to destroy offspring. (In Med. abortion is limited to a delivery so premature that the offspring cannot live, i.e. in the case of the human fœtus before the sixth month.)
If the pregnancy wasn’t going to lead to the birth of a child why put yourself through the procedure?
 
Last week I finished reading a book called ‘The Firkit List’
It was set in a post Donald world where his daughter was President.
It frequently referenced ‘since the repeal of Roe v Wade’

Sadly prophetic.
 
The other interesting thing about Justice Thomas calling into question other rulings based on the same legal principle as Roe v Wade, is that he only mentioned three of them, those related to contraception, gay sex and same-sex marriage.

However he conspicuously failed to mention a fourth such ruling - Loving v Virginia, the decision that established the right to mixed-race marriages.

I wonder why that would be?

Yes this point has been mentioned a few times online as you say it’s opening up a dark chapter.

As People once used the bible and religious order to justify slavery.
 
As the memes now state this ruling will not end abortions in these states but it will end access to safe abortions.

The issue will still exist.

Yes, but I was also alluding to the fact that it's surely hypocritical for him not to call into question the one ruling in this category that would affect him personally.

Though of course, others have not been so shy about mentioning it.

Republican Senator Says Supreme Court Should Have Never Legalized Interracial Marriage
 
Just been reading that in 2019 100 MPs voted to keep abortion illegal in Northern Irealand.
84 Tories
Amongst them Raaaaaaab, Rees Mogg and Eustace.

Coming to a country near us soon?
 
Click on that Dicks post and read the comments and you can disappear down a scary rabbit hole.

I don't often comment on the political situation over here, but I am embarrassed to call America my home today. I'm lucky to live in a state with a strong Democratic governor (for now anyway, elections later in the year could change that as, outside of Chicagoland there are plenty of right-leaning Conservative voters in rural Illinois. Hopefully any liberal voters who were on the fence will vote for Pritzker now to ensure that women's rights are not decimated in this state at least).

The sickest part of all this is reading about people "celebrating" the ruling. People who have absolutely NOTHING to do with any woman who may want/need an abortion in the US right now. What right does Karen from Baton Rouge or Scott from Green Bay have to decide the futures of other people? Add in the ****ed up attitude to guns and it baffles me.

The US is a vast and varied country, but (as someone further up the post said) the real differentiator isn't geography but politics. In strong Republican areas it is genuinely a different world and has parallels to the radical regimes that the US love to persecute for their ideals. It is time the Democrats to become a bit less democratic for the good of the country before it is too late (and yes, I am aware of the irony of that statement!)
