them to a way of life against the Constitution. Many other rights will taken away once Roe V Wade ends. Women will have to suck up to the whims of the traitorous Republican Party. We must all fight this in every way we can. Lawsuit after lawsuit to every Republican that
supports the eroding of Women's rights. Never let up, make them miserable at every given moment. I know many here are very creative so start planning.

(16,826 posts)Thom Hartman said on a past radio show months ago that "once Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion will no longer be the main issue of Religious Conservatives in the States and in Congress. What will be their next issue? They will move on to Birth Control, even Voting Rights." Hartman was not off by any means.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn) said the quiet part out loud during the KBJ hearings when she said Griswold v. Connecticut was poorly decided in 1965 giving married couples the right to privacy in using Birth Control to space pregnancies. That has since been widely expanded to ensure women of child bearing age to right to space pregnancies or not have children at all. A solution, IMO, to reduce the need for abortion in the first place.
So depending on the state in which you live, CHALLENGE Republican candidates to specify why they are AGAINST policies that make sense as well as improve the lives of Americans. They will either reveal who they really are of refuse to give you an answer. That alone should tell you to tell others that that particular candidate is not fit for the job they are seeking. For we know where Democrats stand.
For Republicans who are AGAINST controversial books, Birth Control, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Infrastructure, Education, Critical thinking, Civil and Voting Rights, Are NOT in favor of FREEDOM and JUSTICE for all.

If it is up to the states, some states will still have a right to choice for the women. So the Right wing will attempt to find that unconstitutional somehow. Not sure how they could get a justiciable issue. But they would insist that the right to life applies to fetal life now, so that it is impermissible for a state to allow abortion.

(82,383 posts)Roe considered the non-fetal living person involved, whereas Alito does not.

(26,775 posts)The same people who will decide whether we even have standing to sue (let alone ruling in our favor that a right had been taken away) are the SAME justices who are about to tell us that the right doesnt exist.
And this time Roberts would be with them since he would be sustaining a now-existing ruling.

(51,058 posts)to protect the rights of white men. Therefore they won them. But the cases were carefully chosen so that the right that was protected necessarily extended to protect the target right of women or POC.
Their genius was in choosing - or manufacturing - the cases that appeared benign to the judges, but which blew the chains off for women and POC.
