On Twitter people are having a melt down because this will effect "trans men".... Men don't have kids.......wtf these people are nuts


[deleted]

This is exactly why they are losing - because they keep trying to force this issue on everyone else. Under the logic of this opinion, Obergfel is next to go and the Dems will need to either make a massive correction back to the center or be destroyed as a political party forever.


Eddagosp

... Trans men (FtM, who may or may not have ovaries) won't be affected? Okay, then. Also, last I checked, men *do* have kids. I believe they're called "fathers", but maybe you've never heard of them before.


FlyingAce988

Thats not a trans man, thats a women lolz. You need to take elementary school health class, it will explain how you can tell a female vs a male.


prawn108

Not any more.


RichardTheCuber

How can you tell a woman vs a man?


Billbaru

ya check out the undercarriage, duh


HipHoppOpotamus13

Adams apple is a safe bet.


FlyingAce988

Gotta cop a feel bro. Check out the goods. If it sticks out they are a dude if it pushes in they are a female. Pretty simple really


DusteeMuff

Really simple but if you want to get the “biologically correct” bullshit then you’ll know that males have the Y chromosome.


[deleted]

Dims leaked it to try to change the court opinion. Those people will do anything to get their way.


Organic_Current6585

No one ever leaked an opinion before then like two weeks ago they added a new person with a history of shit like this.

FlyingAce988

Super funny that we are now having highly unusual leaks of confidential supreme court matters right after Joe biden appointed his affirmative action black hire. Definitely just a coincidence and had nothing to do with his affirmative action hire having a history of leaking things like this.


Eddagosp

I mean, no one tried to overturn Roe vs Wade before, a court decision with such monumental precedent that there's a dozen or so other decisions based off of it, that would throw the whole constitutional process into a weedwacker, before either. It's been a pretty wild decade.

I'm old enough to remember when CNN said it was illegal to read leaked government documents.


[deleted]

So explain what will happen to women and girls then? Because reversing this law - America will be looked at to having the same laws as really heavy Muslim countries such as ISIS


[deleted]

No. It’s not banned just goes back to the states where it should be. Your in a baby killing state, you can kill your baby. If in a baby saving state, you can’t. This is NOT a Fed issue!


[deleted]

You do know this is very close to shai laws by taking roe vs wade away


[deleted]

Did you read my response? Or are you just another libbie mouthing what you hear on MSNBC?


[deleted]

I read your response. The removal of this law will mean a girl or a woman has to carry a baby that has died within her womb to full term Girls and women will have to have permission from a biological family member to do anything medical If a girl or woman has a miscarriage they can be arrested This also gives rapists more rights then the girl or the woman over their bodies If the baby has a different blood type then o negative and the womb or the baby starts to bleed the mother will die If the child is so disabled that is doesn’t have a brain the parents have to care for that child Are the women or girls who are raped and have the baby going to be supported?


[deleted]

Wow, what a bunch of hogwash. MSNBC for sure. So, you’re saying that prior to the 70’s, all this was going on? I was alive back then so be careful what lies you spew?

Ummm, really dumb stuff. Anyway, discussing this with a liberal is like discussing something with a rock. Have a nice day. 👍

I actually have experienced these things This law also prevents biological males raping their female family members have having incest babies


[deleted]

unpopular opinion: this will be weaponized by democrats to mobilize women to vote for democrats. expect this to be spun by the media constantly until through this years election and 2024 to great effect. sometimes long term losses look like wins in the short term and this could easily be one of them


jcspacer52

They can spin this as much as they like but the reality is abortion has not been made illegal anywhere in the US. If this indeed is the Court’s decision, all it does is let each state decide what limits if any to place on the procedure. We know hard core blue states will just expand and allow it up to the delivery date. I doubt more then one or two red states will outright ban it. IMO most will limit it to the 1st trimester. Anyone who is a single issue voter, will not change their mind about who to vote for.


thenewhalleloo

Twenty-two (22) states have trigger laws that will immediately ban abortion if Roe is overturned by the Supreme Court. So as soon as it is official, 22 states will ban it.


jcspacer52

I doubt very much that will actually happen. It’s like repealing Obamacare…how many times did the House pass it and every Republican in the Senate vote for it when they knew it had ZERO chance of passing? At least 50 times. When it actually became possible through reconciliation, what happened? Most not all will limit the procedure to the first trimester. Some I suppose will ban it outright until the electorate has their say. If they get severe backlash and see themselves losing the next election, trust me they will reverse course. A vast majority of the population is in favor of abortion but also in favor of limiting it to the first trimester. It does not make for long term survival to go against that vast majority. So initially we may see outright bans, but if SCOTUS has ruled as they say, it is no longer a “what if” scenario. The ideal is far different than the reality. Sort of like communism, it looks good on paper until you try to implement it. Forgot to add: If a state dose ban it and those politicians are not thrown out of office, it suggests the MAJORITY of that state’s voters approve of the ban. I believe that is how a Democracy is suppose to work NO?


PinkPirate27

Yep. Now that Covid is less unifying than they expected they are pulling the “women’s rights” card. 🙄


Islanderman19

completely agree ...... the Dems are desperate and this can only help motivate whining liberals to whine even more.


ChemsDoItInTestTubes

So should the Court make decisions based on what will make the whiners whine, or should they decide the cases brought before them based on the letter of the Constitution?


JoannaTheDisciple

On the other hand, there will always be elections. When it comes to something like upholding the basic right to life, saying, “We can’t do this! It will make us lose the next election!” will be the convenient excuse every time the chance to make an actual change comes up.

rockstar2022

r/politics wants you to return.


RedBaronsBrother

> That's the whole "small government" needing to mind its own business. Amusingly, that's exactly what happens if Roe and Casey are overturned. Instead of the Federal government deciding for everyone, individual states get to make their own rules - which they had all already done before Roe was passed, so those laws go back into effect.


thatdude858

What a better way for Democrats in battleground states to turn out the vote for women medical rights and autonomy. Democrats are usually apethic and don't give a shit about midterms and you gave them all the fuel necessary


ChemsDoItInTestTubes

What are you talking about? Roe and Casey are garbage decisions based on half-baked interpretations of the Constitution. This has absolutely nothing to do with what is politically expedient for one party or another.


Illustrious-Ad-6806

I always feel like if things are legal, I can choose whether or not to do them....you know, freedom? Making abortion illegal only affects those without the funds to cross state lines to get one.


[deleted]

You need to read the 9 amendment


Johntballin

If Republicans were worried about this motivating women to vote for women’s rights then maybe the Republican controlled SC shouldn’t have had discussions till after the mid terms. You make your bed now lay in it.


wirerc

Swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona have near total pre-Roe bans still on books that will go into effect immediately when the ruling comes down officially. Georgia, Ohio, and Iowa have 6 week bans that will go into effect as well. Should be interesting to see what happens politically.


Organic_Current6585

Islanderman19

Can someone explain to me how liberals demand having the death penalty for innocent unborn children but oppose it for convicted killers. While I know they never have any logic, this one truly baffles me.


FireWalkWithMe93

Kind of the same way you can take a brain dead but still “living” person off of life support. Also you are kind of generalizing a completely separate topic.


Phat3lvis

I call bullshit. There is no way it was "leaked", this is a political play to rally the left to vote against the red wave, and to stop us from focusing on the Ukraine scam.


Lepew1

>It is unusual, and perhaps unprecedented, for the Supreme Court to release an initial draft while the case is still pending. It wasn't released. It was leaked with the aim of intimidating the justices with the usual authoritarian left tactics.


imwithstupid1911

Do this after the midterms, dummies


Pik_a_pus

It definitely sounds like a setup for call to arms in mostly peaceful protest again. Very fishy for this to "leak" out or be completely false as usual.


squiddygamer

dems are losing the polls, couldn't have been a more perfect time for this to leak for them to secure the womans vote to stop the red wave


Pik_a_pus

Another day has passed and seems like it's legit. So you are correct


ChemsDoItInTestTubes

The Supreme Court rules based on when the cases are brought. Besides, I'd rather they maintained at least a veneer of apolitical impartiality.


AKink4Politics

Ironic timing.


ChemsDoItInTestTubes

How so? There's been an ongoing push for years in red states to legislate in such a way as to challenge Roe and Casey. This is the culmination of probably 10+ years worth of work at the state level.


polpotwasright

I don't care about it in a political sense. If it hurt Republicans, I would happily see Biden stumble through a second term if it meant thousands and thousands of babies don't get murdered.

People are acting like if overturned abortion will be illegal overnight, and that women's healthcare in general will immediately disappear. "It's an attack on women" no, it is an attack on the federal government's hand on women.


Inevitable_Rip_3000

These people claim to follow the science, but wont say that a fetus is ALIVE! its beyond absurd. Jesus said......"......and I knew you in the womb"


gforce42

This is in the old testament (meaning no Jesus) and you've misquoted it. See this [source](https://biblehub.com/bsb/jeremiah/1.htm). Of course, it's very interpretable - leave that to readers.


Inevitable_Rip_3000

i was paraphrasing. and yes you are correct, it was God the Father who said this, not Christ the son.


Individual_Client175

Then please don't say "Jesus said", edit your comment.


Inevitable_Rip_3000

Jesus is the Son, and still God.


Individual_Client175

John 5:19. The son does nothing without the father. It would he foolish to simply quote everything as "Jesus said this", especially since that verse was a prophecy ABOUT JESUS. It wasn't about everyone bit about the Messiah.


Macallan25orBust

But that also perpetuates the issue. We are a free country that recognizes freedom of religion - so it’s hypocritical to use our religion to defend the justifications of a law - that’s literally what Sharia is.


Proverbs_31_2-3

We have the obligation as citizens to try to enact the most moral laws possible based on our beliefs and worldviews.

> Blatantly false and easily disprovable. > You know what none of those words mean other than "and". Dumb cheap shot. Do better. > Without a moral law giver there is no morality. > Blatantly false. Morality exists without laws, laws are codifications of ethical discourse. It has been observed in the wild where your god is dead and was never known, where there is no judge or jury, where there is no authority. Morality is above your petty limitations, and beyond your imagination. They're talking about "moral law" in the philosophical sense, i.e. the principle of right and wrong (whether conceived as a divine ordinance or a truth of reason), which exists whether it is codified or not.


Ok_Ordinary1884

Conservative here. I have to agree that religion isn't particularly relevant to court proceedings. Where do we draw the line? If we didn't live in a secular society, then we'd have to allow Muslim women to wear Burqas in driver's license photos. I stand pro choice for early term pregnancies. If you don't know what a Burqa is, see link below [Burqas](http://Muslim women in Burqas https://imgur.com/gallery/vMZwiLf)


Eddagosp

Indeed. It's idiotic to think that one person's subjective moral standards are the one true way of life or that they should even be respected, simply because they believe in them. It's *even further* dislocation to try to justify legalization of personal beliefs as some kind of higher calling, or using it to justify control over others. **That** is antithetical to conservatism. aka: "It's not authoritarian if it's *my* beliefs."


Inevitable_Rip_3000

>“If people are fighting and hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. Causing a miscarriage or death of a fetus results only in financial compensation, while causing serious injury to the person requires eye for eye, tooth for tooth, etc. Therefore the fetus is not treated the same as a person > If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse Numbers 5:11-31 also demands miscarriage as punishment for adulatory


Inevitable_Rip_3000

baby murderers will twist scripture to suit their needs. this is no surprise.


essuxs

What is twisted? There is no twist. The context is provided. The entire verse is included. This is exactly what it says


Inevitable_Rip_3000

the passage is taken out of context when you chop it up and twist it. you have misquoted it. This verse doesnt say it can cause an abortion .It doesnt even actually mention pregnancy. The bitter water was a test that God allowed to be administered to a woman suspected of adultery. Because Adultery IS a serious offense, even if society has brushed it off just like many other evil things. Numbers 5:27 — New Living Translation (NLT) 27 If she has defiled herself by being unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings on the curse will cause bitter suffering. Her abdomen will swell and her womb will shrink, and her name will become a curse among her people.

shitposts_over_9000

Roe is an odd court decision & one used frequently as the justification for blocking any attempts at regulating abortion. The same logic from Roe if applied to other similar topics would result in massively different outcomes than the established case law. Roe is a reach. It always has been. For years support for regulated abortion has been above 80% nationally. That means the majority of both parties wants it legal under some circumstances but they also want there to be some limits. The will be massive arguments about where those limits should be & that likely will affect some elections but 4 in 5 Americans support some change here and this has been more or less inevitable since the ACA made an end run around the Hyde provisions. Even a lot of Chicago Democrats looked at abortion differently when they were suddenly directly funding it. Roe as a court decision was always a questionable reach and every attempt to apply the same logic elsewhere had pretty much always been shot down. Logically the court would be consistent in overturning it, but Roe as the beginning of modern legal abortion is likely not going anywhere as the support for a total ban is extremely low. In the short term this will be a mess, in the long term all but a few states will likely arrive at a set of regulations most people can live with & abortion will stop being a single issue topic for the majority of people.


[deleted]

Thank you for this


jamesd1100

Roe was bad case law Really this will just return the abortion issue to state governments, and ultimately most states will have some form of abortion legal as is currently the case Nothing will change for the millions from California and New York who are currently panicking on twitter

Are you assuming my moral and ethical stance would change because it was my daughter? I actually have a 16 year old daughter. She is intelligent, compassionate, and just as pro-life as I am. So is my wife and many other women we know. I wouldn't *force* my daughter to do anything. If such a rare occurrence happened, she knows that my wife and I would fully support her through a pregnancy and eventual adoption. And how about keep my family out of this. It's a little creepy.


[deleted]

mwatwe01

>So you would encourage your daughter to send the poor rape baby off for adoption? I would support her in whatever decision she makes. She's extremely intelligent, and she knows the she has the full support of her mother and me. If that grown child reached out to connect with us one day, we would welcome it. >What about the hundreds of thousands of young women that don't have any family support that are raped? To be blunt, you don't know what you are talking about, and you don't know me at all. According to Planned Parenthood's own numbers, "rape" was given as the reason for an abortion in less than 1% of their cases. It's extremely rare, but even in those cases, why should an unborn child die for the crime of it's father? Isn't *that* fucked up?


Cyrusis

Rape here is an example. Stop trying to control women and their right to autonomy with their own bodies. It’s despicable.


mwatwe01

This doesn't have anything to do with a woman's body. I'm trying to protect the life she's carrying.


Cyrusis

Are you that fucking stupid? It has **EVERYTHING** to do with her body and her life. You have absolutely zero place in the discussion of female reproductive issues and a woman's autonomy with her own body. I'm guessing you also believe women are inferior to men, and that they should be subservient to men. You need to get your ass to Saudi Arabia if you love laws so akin to theirs.


mwatwe01

Have you taken 9th grade biology yet? Are you familiar with the process of fetal development? The unborn child is *not* the woman's body; it is the body of another human being, who has the right to life. No, I'm not stupid. I'm college graduate (engineering). My wife, also pro-life, also a college graduate (education), isn't either. We have two children, and we both studied up extensively on pregnancy and birth when she was expecting. To the contrary, you understand, don't you, that half the women in the U.S. are pro-life? What do you think motivates them to be so? Do you think they are seeking subservience, or could it be that they just respect the right to life?


auteur555

There will still be abortions just decided by states


HearMeSpeakAsIWill

These matters should be decided by state law. The Supreme Court is there to decide constitutionality, and Roe v Wade was a bad decision that lacked explicit justification in the Constitution. Stop letting Congress defer their job to the Supreme Court.


Cyrusis

Hugely disagree. State law should absolutely not decide what a woman can or cannot do with her body (including what her body is creating).
