    The thing that’s so funny to me is that by overturning R/W the SCOTUS also implies that they have no authority to uphold a federal ban on the practice.

    It’s in the states hands…as it should be. If there were an amendment to the constitution outlining a woman’s right to an abortion, or the prohibition of such, we’d be having a much different conversation.

    There have been plenty of congresses between R/W that could have spent the political capital to codify but they chose not to, so here we are.

    Yeah the lives of children don't matter. Being torn apart in the womb or executed as soon as you are born doesn't matter. The pain inflicted doesn't matter. The psychological trauma for the mother doesn't matter. Barbaric!

    Murder a women with a fetus in the womb in a crime and it's two murder charges. But they aren't alive! Quite the dichotomy.

    Yeah I think that's the correct legal interpretation. So when you see Patty Murray hammering this issue on TV ads, she must realize that she has dumb voters.

    If only the GOP were able to explain things like @thechatch just did
