1. That doesn't mean they support abortion.

It only means that they support the woman's right to choose what they do with their own bodies. We should not misinterpret it as "supporting abortion".

2. Well it boils down to they don't support this ruling.

And PS: what is the political difference between supporting the right to choose and supporting abortion rights. They're the same.

take the 'federal' out of this headline - and the numbers become quite different. (also take rape and incest exceptions into account - and numbers skyrocket again)

I'm a staunch pro-choice advocate - but this is just plain misleading.

3. The vocal minority get what they want.

It is necessary for Fascists to keep winning elections. Make no mistake, this is all about the larger picture of the inflation of power of the few over the many. The difference in the success of the right over the left is that they are not ashamed to show their asses over an issue, break laws, go to the streets and demand changes. There may be a lesson there.

We should be tearing down the fence in front of the SC and having a spontaneous tourist visit of the facility. That worked rather well for the other side; we have been talking about it ever since the event. We need to spread the love...

4. This Ruling Does Not Fit The Definition Of A "National Ban"

I realize that is their eventual goal, but this would merely put abortion in the hands of each state.

Need to be specific when doing a poll like this, because the fuckers on the other side will take every opportunity to pick it apart.

5. That's why Repubs have been packing the courts every time and everywhere

that Republicans get the majority power to do it.

That and getting people elected and appointed to government to corrupt and destroy institutions that serve the people have been going on for decades. Every time they got majority power they continued it.

But they got enormous acceleration from the Republican-created national disasters of the Great Recession of 2008 and of course from 2016 and from the Republican pandemic. 2008 and its sequelae devastated millions and lead to the surge of populist anger that empowered the Republican takeover of 2016.

All intentional, including use of pandemic disease and encouragement of civil violence, right out of How to Destroy Democracies for Dummies.

8. There are 13 staes that have trigger laws

that go into effect if Roe is overturned. There are more state legislatures working on those laws now. The stance of voters on abortion laws doesn't matter. The radicals think the voters won't vote them out just for banning abortion.
We have to work to prove the radicals wrong.

11. The Pubs know this, which is why Alito's leaked decision wasn't a Fed ban but allowing state bans

They'll let each red state individually push it as far as their voters will tolerate

the same with gun control

Many people are still wiliing to support candidates that oppose abortion rights becsuse they don't like how the prochoice female candidate laughs or they don't like minorities , or any other thing.

Because you know, their teenage daughter might get pregnant and they decide to "Visit relatives" in New York.
