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

[HemiHauler]

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:



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.

For heaven's sake don't tell her about the effects on Griswold v Connecticut! That won't comport at all with her twitter bot programming and her head will get all splodey!

What decision? A draft opinion not concurred to by the majority nor announced by the court is in no way a decision.

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.

Y2K was blown out of proportion, but you could also say the reason it was such a nothing-burger was how well we prepared for it. I was updating POS software to fix that bug in 1988, so 12 years early. Now, having to wait an extra 15 minutes in line to buy your cigarettes from the BX would not have been the end of the world, but it might have felt like it.

I don't know what that is, and am not going to look it up.

I do not believe or even think that the abortion mores of 50 years ago are relevant today. However I do believe that states should be able to have their own community and culture, and those who don't like it should live somewhere else. There are plenty of states where they'll not only let you kill your unborn child, they'll let you kill that bebe AFTER it's born alive. Progs can move there and stop mucking up states that don't want them.

I love it that I control you and can make you bark on command.

I highly doubt that. Yes, some states will impose restrictions and some might even ban abortions outright...but very few compared to those that did 50 years ago.

Y2K was blown out of proportions and we all knew it, but that didn't keep me from having a thousand dollars cash waiting just in case the ATM companies hadn't stomped all of the bugs.

Did they roll back their laws? If the old laws are still on the book then they should come back into force unless specifically repealed I should think.

I'm not an expert on what happens to state laws when they get superseded or overriden by the Feds or SCotUS. But I've already seen noises from the chattering political class about legislation to make sure abortions remain legal in various states. I predict that eventually abortions will still be legal in nearly all states....with a wide variation in restrictions or conditions on same.

Agreed, I am not so much against abortions as I am Late term abortions. If a woman cannot make her mind up in 15 weeks she has no business growing organs and parts for Doctors to play with.

That pretty much sums up my view of it as well.

 

[herb749]

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.

Well that's all of them since they haven't had to make a payment in over 2 years.

I did see the idiots in the MD GA wanted to put it on the ballot. Problem was the session ended before both could concur.

And I am all for mandatory abortions for Democrats.

Is that from when Clark W Griswold used that slippery stuff on the sled .?

My DIL continued to make her payments, even after the hospital told her to take the jab or take a hike, and she was out of a job.
