anyone else feel like we’re all trapped inside a bizarro hybrid of Being There (retro movie) and a WWF cage match?
Nobody builds walls better than me, believe me.

Lol you thought I was talking about future children on this landmass.
I don’t think that’s even everything. Help me understand not only why Donald shouldn’t be barred from even sneezing in the direction of a SCOTUS appointment because he’s under criminal investigation, but also why the holding of Citizens’ United shouldn’t be vacated because Kennedy participated in ruling on the decision
You just might own this Milo.
I don’t think this is likely to work. I grew up in this environment, and I can tell you there’s nothing this crowd loves doing more than forgiving one of their own for some allegedly mortal sin, provided they throw themselves on Jesus’s mercy and publicly recommit themselves to the approved value set. They won’t turn…
oh, you’re not wrong; some - undoubtedly, many - will be able to continue the mental gymnastics required to convince themselves that their American brand Christianity gives them some sort of moral high ground. But fuck “civility” - WE can stop respecting their shitty little snowflake beliefs, and we can stop the…

Mmmmmmm... Salt.
There are some legal scholars who think that the premise of Roe—the right to privacy—is flawed and that it should have been argued that under the 13th/14th Amendment, it would be unconstitutional to require a woman incubate a child against her will. RBG herself thought it should have been argued that for women to have…
Prior to Roe v Wade it wasn’t illegal nationwide anyway - you could get an abortion in abortion friendly states (granted that was 3 states but still). The worst the SCOTUS is revert that decision and let states make their own laws. Congress would need to make it a national thing and with that comes... wait for it... a…
I don’t know if kicking you in the balls until you’re sterile will help all of us though.
The thing is, the Republican leadership does not want to reverse Roe. If they do, they would risk losing a substantial segment of their voters who vote on that issue alone.
Well, what do you think is likely to happen? I don’t think you could pass a constitutional amendment to acknowledge the time of day right now. A federal “right to abortion” law would almost certainly be overturned by the same court that overturned Roe, especially if Trump picks RBG’s replacement. The decision might…
What if Roe v. Wade falls? Will conservative single-issue abortion voters, satisfied with their hard-fought victory from their decades-long battle emerge from the miasma and suddenly be able to appreciate the pro-life policies of liberals and turn on the Republicans? No, they will come for birth control next, and then…
So what’s the correct reaction when, several years from now, dipshit pro-life women in red states find themselves in Savita Halappanavar’s position, about to leave their first 2 kids without a mother because kid #3 miscarries and will get septic, but she can’t get an abortion because ‘heartbeat’? Because I want to be…
Doctors will continue to do abortions. For wealthy white women who have insurance and who can afford to be checked into the hospital for a day or two.
What if Roe v. Wade falls?
If it makes the country and world that I live in better for myself and fellow countrymen, fuck yes. And I say this as someone who is childless, self-employed, and married to a small business owner. We hand over a healthy, healthy chunk of our income to taxes. These taxes help build schools and pay teachers to educate…
