Photograph: Jacquelyn Martin/APPhotograph: Jacquelyn Martin/APPolitical pressure is mounting on Joe Biden to take more action to protect abortion rights across the US as firebrand New York congresswomancalled for supreme court justices to be impeached for misleading statements about their views on Roe v Wade.
She also mentioned impeaching Justice Clarence Thomas, whose wife Ginni emailed 29 Republican lawmakers in Arizona as she tried to help undermine Biden’s victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Thomas has not recused himself from election-related cases, drawing criticism. Biden’s Democratic party controls the House with a clear majority, but its standing in the Senate is much more tenuous. The Senate is split 50-50, though Biden’s vice-president, Kamala Harris, can serve as a tiebreaker for votes that can be carried by a simple majority.
In states where abortion is no longer allowed because of Friday’s ruling, residents who need to terminate pregnancies must now travel hundreds of miles – if not more – to get access to the procedure.
Maybe they changed their minds once they were able to research the issue once they got the appointment? While morally wrong, is the legal decision incorrect?

‘Very dark’: Brett Kavanaugh assassination attempt ‘buried by the media’What a load of BS. The man rang 911 himself before he even reached the address. Ever since the leak of the draft and peaceful demonstrations outside his house, a police detail was in the street. Brett probably has a small arsenal at home, so in danger? Really don't think so! 'The Kavanaugh assassination....' Firstly, it wasn't an 'assassination'. Secondly, it wasn't ignored by the media, it was widely reported. Lots of stories over years have been constantly buried by media & SocialMedia & the reason is probably just Politics & nepotism to ensure the truth doesn’t get to the community so transparency & accountability are buried wapol auspol ABCNews wanews Mediacrooks news

‘Devastating’: Australian politicians respond to US supreme court’s decision on abortion rightsSome politicians say decision in Roe v Wade will ‘save lives’ but prime minister emphasises ‘in Australia, this is not a matter for partisan political debate’ I thought Albanese became Prime Minister of Australia 🇦🇺 A country he has spent less time in than abroad since he took office. And now he is commenting on US constitutional law matters 🤦♂️ Does anyone know where he got his law degree from? Doesn’t this ruling in the US effectively replicate Australia’s current position? Doesn’t each Australian state set their own (varying) rules on abortion? Is Labor therefore planning to regulate federally? The US is a social disaster & powder keg ready to explode. Racial tension. Religious tension. Political tension. Economic division. Rampant gun violence. And now this idiocy . Why do we suck up to America so badly and follow it so blindly? They are a mess best ignored. auspol
