Right-wingers going off the deep end, about the Texas SC decision.

As expected.

Right-Wing Media’s Unhinged Response To Supreme Court’s Whole Woman’s Health Ruling

Following the Supreme Court’s 5-3 decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt to strike down Texas' HB 2, a strict Texas abortion law, right-wing media figures reacted by claiming the Supreme Court “sides with the killers of unborn babies” and saying the ruling was “a victory for those who celebrate baby killing.”

1. If they ruled opposite, I'd hope we would as well.

[MohRokTah]

16. I find that liberal people tend to respect the rule of law.

Though expressions of disagreement over decisions are common amongst liberal people, I never see bullshit like the "Texit" crap being spewed by the right over this decision.

[anoNY42]

2. Especially awesome

is the one about how "baby-killing" is a "sacrament". I can just imagine the altars being set up in Texas for public sacrifices to the Flying Spaghetti Monster...

Trump, Lemmings, and the Fundamentals


Although it’s depressing to realize that too many Republican Party voters think that Donald Trump should be President, it’s even more depressing to watch so many GOP notables beginning to line up behind him like lemmings. One hopes.

There are several possible explanations for the lemming-like behavior. First, some aren’t capable of recognizing the danger, think this is an election like any other, and are seizing on the dim signs that Trump is “pivoting” to justify supporting. Second, some don’t care a whit about the country, so long as they think their own position is secure. Third, some recognize the danger to the country, but place duty to party above all. Fourth, as with climate change, some are just squeezing their eyes shut, sticking their fingers in their ears, and singing “la-la-la-la” loudly enough to drown out the unpleasant truth.

and the following still holds largely true, AFAICT

Clinton still is likely to carry all the states that the Democratic Party has carried in the last three presidential elections. They total 227 electoral college votes, leaving her 43 votes shy of victory. The tossup states, totaling 116 electoral college votes, are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Obama carried Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia in both of his elections. Clinton can carry any of several combinations of tossup states to hit the magic number.

6. and I hope all their ignorant, woman-hating heads explode.

7. When the RW starts demanding similarity strict regulation of gun dealers ...

... & complaining about the killings of BORN babies & adults, their complaints might have some credibility.

[Stallion]

8. They Might as Well Have Overturned Roe v Wade -if they didn't rule as they did

they would have legislated Roe v Wade out of existence in large segments of the country

[Wounded Bear]

12. This...

For all the misleading rhetoric, it was patently obvious what these laws and restrictions were about from the get-go, and that is eliminating a woman's constitutional, and moral, right to determine what to do about a pregnancy.

No rhetorical arguments have ever dissuaded me from my belief that it is morally reprehensible to force a woman to take a pregnancy she doesn't want to term. I don't even care about the motivation behind her decision, it is her decision alone, made in concert, hopefully, with a qualified physician who bases his practice on science, not on out dated and out moded religious crap.

9. When Hillary selects Obama for the empty seat on the SC, you'll really see right wingers

coming unhinged.

[Martin Eden]

14. They haven't been hinged in decades

(if ever)

[B Calm]

15. Bwahaha... so true!

[Hortensis]

10. They can lump it! Texans will have care available again.

The "undue burder on a woman's right to choose" that the closure of clinics imposed on the people of Texas is illegal. Of course, conservatives coming unglued and unhinged is a cherry on top.

[Triana]

11. Boo-hoo American Taliban.

No. You don't get to relegate women to sexual & reproductive slavery. OUR bodies are NOT your property.

[Martin Eden]

13. Proponents of the Texas law argued it was intended to protect the health of women

Apparently rightwingers knew the official rationale was a sham in the first place.

They just confirmed the majority ruling that its actual intent was to limit access to abortion services.

[spanone]

17. they live in the 'deep end'

[BigDemVoter]

18. Babies Schnabies. . . .

The. . . Um. . . ."Babies" they are talking about? As a general rule, nothing more than a bit of tissue and nothing else. . . .

They don't care about the real babies who are born to families with no money, no job, and no insurance.

[n2doc]

19. The real baby killers are those who support unlimited gun ownership

Which I would bet covers nearly all of the ones howling about the SC decision.

[Stallion]

20. Let's Not Forget this Decision Has Much Broader Application than Just Texas

as many states have designed similar laws restricting access to abortion based on this Texas model
