Opinion: Ruth Bader Ginsburg protected your abortion rights. Be afraid now that she's gone (via latimesopinion)

noted the extraordinary safety record of abortions and the lack of similar requirements for far more dangerous procedures. She called out the Texas law for the sham it was, writing, “it is beyond rational belief that HB 2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law ‘would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions.’”

“Even in the last 13 years, Justice Ginsburg had to lay out again and again how pregnancy discrimination is sex discrimination,” said Nancy Northup, chief executive of the Center for Reproductive Rights in a statement Friday night. The power that Ginsburg wielded on the Supreme Court to make women’s rights a legal reality — and the way she did it in a straightforward, steely way without bloviating — turned her into an 87-year-old age-defying cultural icon for women and girls, including little ones who donned her signature frilly white collar and robe and glasses as a Halloween costume. Probably some of that mystique came from the contrast between her diminutive stature as a woman and her stance as a judicial warrior.

Her dying wish was not to be replaced until a new president is installed. There are so many aspects of that wish I hope come to pass for Ginsburg and the rest of us. It’s not just that her death leaves the court with only three stalwart supporters of abortion rights, it’s that it leaves the possibility that her seat will be filled by an abortion opponent who will disregard the Supreme Court’s three landmark rulings on abortion rights and search for ways to dismantle the bedrock ruling of Roe vs. Wade, which would rob women of what the court has established as a constitutional right to a safe and legal abortion.

opinion RBG is in hell for allowing the slaughter of millions of babies here on earth. Be afraid of that LA TP Times

opinion Now, it's possible babies may live. As they should. Time to preserve their rights. At last.

opinion People have never come to supreme court justices for protection. If you don't believe the system, you are out of luck in this country.

opinion Stop with the fear attacks. The system in place would protect the right of states to defend. Fake News!

opinion She was a champ, but stop fearing. Talk.

opinion Uh...it's infanticide.

opinion You mean OUR abortion rights? This is an opinion piece. I hope you are afraid too

opinion Be afraid!!!!! I am afraid of the constant media fear-mongering

opinion Never saw the logic (bc it's twisted) that pro lifers are against abortion... but also against contraception. So, pro life isn't about ...making abortion rare/banned? ...making preg planned vs surprise? What's left? Just control of women's bodies? women's self earning power?

opinion If Roe vs Wade is overturned abortion will still be legal on a state level.

opinion Fear mongering 👆🏼

opinion

opinion Good God! Talk about lying media! Losing R v W does not keep states from providing abortion. All it does is prevent the fed from dictating to states what they must provide. What a bunch of whining crybabies!

opinion I feel so much sorry and immensely hurt when people refer to abortion as something normal. If your mother was thinking like that, i don't think this stupide writer will see the light of the day

opinion She is not unlike the judges who protected chattel slavery rights.

opinion Good. Bottom rail on top, now! Compared to what those unborn felt, you're getting off easy.

opinion Every woman voter who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton and stayed home, look what your non vote elected! Especially all the younger women who showed the Democrats.

opinion Have you ever seen a live ABORTION where they RIP a live person out of a women’s birth canal .. it’s moving squirming fighting for its life until the doctor slices it’s neck it stiffens than after a minute it stops blood oozing from the wound ! Have a nice coffee LA times.

opinion Trump's choice to replace RGB, Amy Coney Barrett, is Phylis Schlafly's reincarnation. She is exactly what Schlafly would have been like born 40 years later. If you don't know Schlafly, she's the one who killed the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment).

opinion NO body can kill. Wrong decision.tou are not free to kill , worst if it is your son. The baby is NOT part of your body .Has his own life from conception.👦🏻👦🏿👦🏽

opinion I'm terrified

opinion Have protected sex. No worries...

opinion Who was her god, Moloch?

opinion 30 million unborn babies MURDERED

opinion Why the hell didn't the Dems just pass a Federal law on abortion when they controlled the whole shooting match and codify the RvW decision into law?

opinion So now babies will not be sliced and diced?

opinion The media no longer cares to even try and give unbiased reporting. I’m more afraid of that.

opinion I would be more afraid of having to stand before God & explain why I helped to allow the murder of babies-Saving a mother from dying or talking about the rape argument is one thing we haven't the time to go into here-Killing the unborn is not a right.-It's an excuse of the left

opinion But not the babies 🧐

opinion Be afraid be very afraid you cant abort anymore and you'll have to protect your self more like condoms and plan b unless you medically can't carry or really necessary

opinion Abortion rights isnt whole of Feminism or Civil rights. Ginsburg displayd typical ' its not my problem, it wont happen to me' archetypes blatantly as conservatives; stubborn SCOTUS wart. Shes to blame for situation now. 'Black Lives matter aint my problem' RBGChokedOnHerOwnKnee

opinion The witch is dead hallelujah hallelujah glory to god Ginsberg the baby killer is dead hallelujah hallelujah amen

opinion All the aborted babies are waiting for Ginsberg

opinion Burn baby burn baby killer

opinion And may she be tormented in hell.. RIPRBG RIPRuthBaderGinsburg

opinion Girls and boys must be responsible for their actions like all other bovines, frogs, monkeys and dogs.

opinion And pleased Satan.

opinion Criminal

opinion So she supported killing millions of women? What role model.

opinion She made a career of twisting the meaning of the Constitution to suit her own personal agendas. She was an Activist and NOT a good unbiased Judge...those are the facts!

opinion What you meant to say is Ruth ensured you could legally murder a child in the womb.

opinion She wasn't the only pro-choice jurist in the country. If she really cared about protecting abortion rights, she would've stepped down under Obama.

opinion 😭😭😭😭

Column: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death should not eclipse Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s lifeThe world changed, politics roared, America's mood shifted this way and that, and Ginsburg worked, steadily as she had always done, dismantling injustice wherever she could. Thank you for working tirelessly to advance the cause of the underprivileged who often have no voice. God bless you and fly high dear Ruth as you reunite with your beloved Marty 💕🙏 I'm not sure if you're aware of this but The election doesn't matter any more: you now have a captured and overtly partisan supreme court even without a nominee being pushed through. All Trump has to do is challenge and he wins. America's democracy just ended.
