"I'd like to see abortion made unnecessary which most 'pro-lifers' are unwilling to do."
Yep, this is also a really important angle that the "pro-lifers" never engage with. Access to contraception seems like it'll come under fire next. And it's like, "what??!! You want to end abortion but you also want to limit access to contraception? Le…
"I'd like to see abortion made unnecessary which most 'pro-lifers' are unwilling to do."
Yep, this is also a really important angle that the "pro-lifers" never engage with. Access to contraception seems like it'll come under fire next. And it's like, "what??!! You want to end abortion but you also want to limit access to contraception? Leading to many more unwanted babies?" It's just pure religious fanaticism.
As for the "abortion is murder" crowd, yeah, I also have some empathy with their position. Just as I have empathy with the "meat is murder" crowd. I think these people should be able to make the choices that feel right for them. But I don't think, unless they have some objective, scientific basis for their feelings, that they should be able to dictate how other people live their lives.
I don't think it's a politically feasible plank even if Thomas has wet dreams about rolling this back. It's easy for him to argue that the ruling was a poor one and want to tidy up because he'll never have to face the consequences of living in a state where BC gets outlawed.
What difference does it make? If the Court rolls back Griswold, we'll be as BC-less as we now are largely abortin-less.
I wish the right was as quick to outlaw going to another state to get 'gender affirming care' for one's kid as the were for those seeking legal abortions.
They won't roll it back. The only one who has even hinted at this is Thomas. There are some repubes who would like to see this happen but it's far too regressive. You have to keep in mind whether things are politically feasible or not. This one isn't.
They'll find a way if enough are on board. Remember when we thought Roe was here to stay? Never underestimate how much many men (and not always conservatives) hate female freedom. And freedom from unwanted, life-limiting childbearing lies at the heart of everything 'wrong' with feminism. Never say never.

They've already gone after contraception. Monsieur Thomas, take it away...!!!
