POP QUIZ: Does the SCOTUS decision ban/abolish abortion?

Just checking to see who's paying attention and who's lost in the fake news rhetoric.

This is like the "don't say gay" thing the Democrats wrapped themselves around. The narrative they're throwing themselves on the floor over isn't even close to what the bill/decision actually says.

I have been told by the national TV media that this move will have bodies of recently impregnated females dying by the millions in back alleys in undisclosed locations. Perhaps these shows could provide us with covid like death counters on the side of their screens.

The females that don't die will be forced to leave their current employment and become hand maids. I'm not exactly sure what that is or what they will be doing. But the bonus part is they get to wear period clothing. Period meaning Victorian not menstrual.

The total death count could eclipse the carnage left in the wake of the Y2K bug and the Mayan calendar error combined.

If I may ...

Ya know? I'll start to fervently support women's reproductive rights to their bodies when they, and the pro-choice industry, start supporting the absolute right, (enshrined in the US Constitution, unlike getting an abortion), for everyone to defend themselves by the keeping and bearing of arms of their choosing. Until then, Argle bargle RAAAHR to them. Guessing they now know how it feels to have something taken away from them, (in this case a perceived right, though arguably a personal liberty right), when they demand something taken from others that doesn't affect them personally. This is an excellent time for the use of the word~ Schadenfreude.

It will stop abortions just for those women that get pregnant to sell body parts and those pesky knee-grow whores.

The talk of abortion rights has done it's job.

No one is talking about the lap top right now.

They're not talking about the Ministry of Truth, either.

Also student loan forgiveness is today's new shiny object.

This one astounds me, who would have ever thought that the government would come up with the idea of just canceling a loan because the person who took it out was stupid? Are they going to pay mortgages next?

Word I heard is that only those who are already in default will get forgiveness. Those that a current and are paying get to keep paying.

I didn't get any college loans so I want them to pay for my 2023 Ford Raptor - R.

Without having read a single article or watched any news on the subject, seems likely to me if they overturn Roe V Wade we would effectively have what existed prior to Roe V Wade:

Prior to Roe v. Wade, 30 states prohibited abortion without exception, 16 states banned abortion except in certain special circumstances (e.g., rape, incest, health threat to mother), 3 states allowed residents to obtain abortions, and New York allowed abortions generally.

So the answer is yes, for the overwhelming majority of cases and places it would ban abortion. Whether that's good or bad is a different discussion.
