1. You're not going to have to wait very long. Abortion clinics closed today.

[obamanut2012]

2. Some of us don't want our marriages and orientation criminalized, so maybe delete this OP

Why the hell do you think it's okay to throw us under the bus? Will you still say this after we are fired, arrested, had our kids taken away, thrown into camps, killed?

What is WRONG with you???

[intrepidity]

8. You *do* understand that all of that has previously been said about Roe?

That it would *never* happen because the Left would never allow it.

[Binkie The Clown]

11. Exactly. But left fell asleep at the stick, and it happened.

That's why some serious wake-up calls are necessafry.

[intrepidity]

13. Or, the Right has cemented in their "minority rule" privilege

and every line they toe gets crossed?

15. Blame the Hillary haters

In 2016 the people were upset because the Democrats made 2 huge mistakes 1) nominated Hillary who already had 45% of the population against her and 2) the Bernie fiasco with the nomination. That caused a lot of people to not vote for Hillary. Some even voted for trump as a protest vote. Others voted for Trump because Hillary was the nominee. Many told me they would have voted for any other democrat other Hillary over Trump.

24. And for that initial percentage

blame the 25+ years of right wing propaganda.

Not her fault, but they recognized something in her when Bill became governor. That vast right wing conspiracy? It was real.

Oh, and then Comey sealed the deal for that orange thing.

22. And just how many times are LGBT and other minorities supposed to put up

With being kicked in the ass by our friends?????

You want to volunteer to sacrifice yourself, be my guest. But stop suggesting using LGBT folks and other minorities as punching bags. We are awake. We have barely have a chance to catch our breath after the last fight for our families and our lives - and trans folks are still in an active fight for their lives.

3. Same sex marriage will be like Roe.

Some states it will remain legal.

In Michigan, that one would require a ballot proposal to remove the ban from the state constitution.

4. Unfortunately.. it's what that voting block wants

So it'll work for now until we get off our asses and vote the fascists out.

It's going to take decades to undo what this court is going after.

[fescuerescue]

6. If that happens, the Republicans will lose the LGBT vote

[intrepidity]

10. It's laughable that they ever had it, frankly. nt

[LeftInTX]

20. That's why it won't move the electoral needle

Contraception will!

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. But would those rulings come in time before permanent minority rule is firmly in place?

Seems like it takes 18-24 months or longer for most cases of this type to work their way to SCOTUS.

If Griswold and Obergefell fall after 2024, will it matter?

[Binkie The Clown]

9. Maybe what has just happened will be enough of a wake-up call.

That would be the best-case scenario.

[jonstl08]

12. agree

Agree. Next will be gay marriage then gay sex. After that is done a few years down the road they will go after birth control. It will be the end of the GOP.

[Irish_Dem]

18. The end of the GOP, but the beginning of their fascist regime.

[sarisataka]

14. Uh-huh, sure

That will end the Republican party.

I am old enough to recall people saying after Watergate there will never be another Republican elected President

[demmiblue]

16. See this right here? This is an example of privilege.

Fuck that noise.

[Behind the Aegis]

23. +1

Love so many are caviler with the rights of OTHERS, especially a persecuted minority!

[Ms. Toad]

29. And so soon after EarlG's come to Jesus thread.

I knew I shouldn't dare hope things would change.

[bottomofthehill]

19. dont forget Loving, Although Uncle Clarence may want out of his marriage........

[Ms. Toad]

21. How about you delete this offensive post.

My 41 year old marriage has been recognized for all of 7 years, and is increasingly under attack, as are the rights - and lives- of other minorities. My daughter has had a legal relationship with my spouse for even fewer years.

We don't need any help from our "friends" who hope our marriages will be attacked. It took so long in the first place in part because of "friends" like you who saw my marriage as too divisive until very recently to even be part of the progressive platform.

And now we are the first to be thrown back under the bus.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. People keep saying "X will seal the doom of the Republican party!!1!!!!!11" and all I get is more

and more and more X. The doom of the Republican party never comes. But I'm sure if X happens, then it will!!1!!11111!!!!!!

[Samrob]

26. For now women are free to use IUDs but that may change too if evangelicals and Catholic church

get their way.

[airplaneman]

27. Sorry I disagree with you Binkie

The farther we slide down this fascist hole, the harder it will be to get out and I have heard of too many things that were going to save us but did not. Hoping the Republicans succeed in their agenda will not doom the Republican party. JHMO

28. Nope. The power has been funneled

And undoing it is almost impossible now.
