  2. The good news is that Kamala is now the new Abortion Czar which guarantees that she will fail.

    In accepting this role, I heard her babble on about how she is deeply concerned about abortion because she "is a woman, a woman who had a mother, and a grandmother."

    Excuse me. But WUT?

    More like Roe is desperately grasping on by its fingernails as it slides over the edge of a cliff...

    Texas judge blocks enforcement of pre-Roe v. Wade abortion ban

    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/te...wade-abortion-ban-clinics-lawyers-2022-06-28/

    June 28 (Reuters) - A Texas judge on Tuesday blocked officials from enforcing a dormant 1925 abortion ban that the state's Republican attorney general said was back in effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure nationwide.

    The temporary restraining order by Judge Christine Weems in Harris County came in a last-ditch bid by abortion providers to resume services after the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed the right of women to obtain abortions.

    The order was confirmed by the ACLU and the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represented the abortion providers. Abortion up to six weeks of pregnancy can now resume in Texas at some clinics, the legal groups said.

    "Every hour that abortion is accessible in Texas is a victory," Marc Hearron, a lawyer at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement.

    Abortion was already severely restricted in Texas after the six-week ban that the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court did not block took effect in September.

    A further hearing is scheduled for July 12. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office did not respond to a request for comment.

    The decision came amid a flurry of litigation by abortion rights groups seeking to slow or halt Republican-backed restrictions on the ability of women to terminate pregnancies that are now taking effect or are poised to do so in 22 states.read more

    Those states include 13 that like Texas enacted so-called "trigger" laws designed to take effect if Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights advocacy research group.

    Paxton in an advisory issued after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled said the state's 2021 trigger ban, which bars abortions almost entirely, would not take immediate effect. Providers say that could take two months or more.

    But Paxton, a conservative Republican, said prosecutors could choose to immediately pursue criminal charges against abortion providers based on a different, old statute that had gone unenforced while Roe v. Wade was on the books but that remained Texas law.

    1 you do have the court but that doesn’t make you or the court right. In practice and legally you’re actually wrong. This is why you keep ducking the point about the ruling coming with a disclaimer. Rulings are supposed to be consistent with all of the law an inconsistent ruling is by definition flawed. What I will give you is that at the very least Thomas recognized that in his concurrence. Albeit he left out the only right that impacts him, marriage between races. The levels of hypocrisy…

    2 we will see how this state by state issue works out. If past is prologue then it will not work out well.

    3. you think political. I’m not there with any of this. Democrats are already out so whatever they are doing isn’t going to help with the midterms.

  5. I see. I have the Supreme Court on my side but I am wrong but you have Chief Justice Whoopi Goldberg and the justices on the View on your side so you are right.

    Let's see which side actually holds up when it comes time to enforce the law. Once again, Dr. Tard will be right, but his patient will die.

    And yes, the state by state resolution of this will be very messy. It is a huge issue that has been wrongly held closely in the hands of a few in Washington, but now a switch has been flipped and the states have to resolve immediately.

  6. RIght now in some states we have a serious issue of ectopic pregnancies that basically require an abortion to terminate due to the high risk... but doctors are frozen as to what to do...

    still not clear if in those states celebrating the overturn of Roe if they understand all the consequences..

    Women sometimes find out they have cancer when they go for a physical after finding out they’re pregnant and elect an abortion because the cancer treatment will end the pregnancy.

    Why would you need a source that this happens? I know I volunteer in hospices but an adult does not need "source" to know that pregnancy coincidences with cancer sometimes.
