Opinion: I am an abortion rights activist. I hope the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade

where there is either already a trigger law waiting to put a total abortion ban in place automatically or where the state has signaled a desire to do so onceis gone. Until now, encroaching restrictions on abortion have tended to affect more marginalized communities while bypassing those of privilege, but full-scale state abortion bans will put everyone on a much more level playing field.

As we’ve seen in other countries, it often takes such high stakes to trigger change when it comes to guaranteeing abortion rights. For instance, it was the death of Savita Halappanavar in 2012, who was denied a life-saving abortion in Ireland, that galvanized activists and lawmakers to overturn that country’s total abortion ban in 2018.

While the privileged and well-connected would still be able to nab private procedures from their physicians with a wink, or catch a plane to Chicago or New York City, Americans post-would be living in a country where the fact of an unwanted pregnancy means either childbirth or risking arrest, not to mention their health and lives in the worst cases of illegal abortions, in some states.

Mostly, pro-life people just come off as hypocrites. They’re the same people voting to take away food stamps, social programs and services for the people who would need them to raise a child. It’s like they want to corner children into being raised in awful situations.

If the illegitimate US SupremeCourt abolishes abortion rights completely, they could force the permanent division of the USA, allowing wealthy Blue States to finally relegate backward Red States into the status they deserve. Calexit BlueExit Cascadia

Wow.

I'll start believing in abortion When believers start aborting themselves

We live in a lawless society. Laws from speed limits to immigration & many others in between are meaningless. Rule of law is melting into anarchy. We kill millions of babies but won't execute mass murderers because that's cruel & inhuman. Offenders have more rights than victims.

SCOTUS striking down will most definitely make abortion inacessible and exacerbate healthcare. It would also encourage more people to be active in fighting for abortion rights. Its also going back to square1 and actually undoes a lot of previous work put in.

Any man. It's womens choice

It's womens choice not the choice of middle class white men

Leave it up to the states.

People must B held financially & morally responsible for their own choices. Step up & act adult people My tax $ can B better spent

Forget about your personal stance on abortion, just read the Roe v. Wade decision and tell me it has anything to do with a judicial reasoning.

This is a very bad take.

I agree...the left has become lazy, complacent and lazy! Maybe if this happens it will spur the left finally start fighting back! We are in the majority by a large margin but the right wingnuts continue to see us as lazy and pacifist in the important political battles!

Can’t wait for the magical moment Roe is overturned and all of the women seeking to terminate pregnancies suddenly change their mind!

To kill babes...... im against!!!!!!

'I want my side to suffer a huge, potentially permanent, loss politically so they finally start taking the issue seriously' is one hell of a hot take

this headline is beyond idiotic

That is so 'bring the mother down' of you. It hasn't worked that way in the past.

Most likely because of this:

Opinion | How the Supreme Court weakened Congress on emergency declarationsTo understand how a 1983 Supreme Court decision dramatically affected the way the government works, consider what Congress had intended when it passed the National Emergencies Act. seems like a problem that should have been fixed 30 years ago, not when someone they don't like is using power they have Resolutions are meaningless jibberish until they are signed by the President, which will not happen. The basis of your whole story is false. What hasn't the Supreme Court weakened in the last 30 years? They've destroyed any chance at removing money from politics. Gerrymandering. Guns. Voting rights.

Supreme Court to consider whether Beltway sniper Lee Boyd Malvo deserves new sentencingBetween Sept. 5 and Oct. 22, 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Malvo killed 10 people and wounded others in sniper attacks in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Sure, give him the death sentence and save the taxpayers the expense of supporting him for another 20 or more years. We must allow ourselves to find root cause for mass killings by guns. And accept the fact for what it is. I ask myself, why is it 90% White Males and White Supremacist emboldened, American Citizens? no

Supreme Court will take up immigration-related case next termThe Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a case next term concerning Kansas' prosecution of three undocumented immigrants for using stolen Social Security numbers in an effort to gain employment. Is Ruth sleeping again? If American citizens can be prosecuted for using stolen Social Security numbers, it is ludicrous to think that illigal immigrants cannot be prosecuted for the same crime!! Is that a stuffed head of RBG? 🤔
