they can always sell more dead baby parts! /ducks pp does fine with fundraising, iirc.

none of this is true.

i disagree with you on crt but see your point. i agree that the biggest influence will be dem enthusiasm.

i completely disagree. unless the robots are replacing us a generation or two sooner, there will be massive labor shortages, massive pension shortages, massive social security shortages, and massive tax increases on fewer workers to make up the difference. china will cope when 2/3 of its population are unmarried men in their 30s? lets see how that works out for the rest of the world.

i really think its going to hurt them in the mid terms. the election went from masks, school closings and crt (all republican issues), massive inflation and a recession to the gop banning abortion. the gop just lost a significant chunk of suburban white women if that's what the election is now about. the gop will still make gains because of the map this year and its an off year election, but i dont think the dems get wiped out anymore. of ciurse, being the democrats, they'll probably do something stupid like talk about court packing. just shut up and let the gop shoot ITSELF in the foot this time! there's a reason why mitch doesnt want to talk about this now...

i know youre not being serious, but declining birth rates are a massive problem for almost every western country. its an even bigger problem in china.

theyre the dog that has caught the ambulance. now what do i do?

he must be banging jeannie again.

it could have been released by a conservative justices' clerk who heard that kavanaugh was backsliding and having second thoughts. nobody knows nothin.

if someone leaked it, its probably a clerk. why would roberts leak the memo and then call for an fbi investigation? that doesnt make any sense. never a dull moment nowadays.

do you think we need more people in america? the entire developed world is having a baby shortage. we'll either need more immigration or more kids. preferably both.

boom.

the us isnt producing enough children right now. an additional 750k per year would be welcome news to the future economy.

what about all the legislatures that enacted laws saying abortion will be legal? was that part of alito's master plan too? its almost as if they think the legislatures should legislate...

sending an issue back to the legislature is the opposite of "legislating from the bench." its saying theegislature can legislate. legislating from the bench would be them saying all abortions are now illegal and all abortion providers are going to prison, no matter what the legislature says. you can disagree with the brief all you want, but its not "legislating" from the bench.

i think that's an overreaction.

this isnt legislating from the bench, its sending the issue back to the legislatures where they said it belonged in the first place. this ia the opposite of legislating from the bench.

deflection from what? your insightful comment? lol. i was teasing you to make a joke. i didnt think they would overturn roe. i thought roberts would whittle away at it like he has at other laws and kavanaugh would go along with him. which could still happen, but doesnt seem likely.

nyah, you dont want those forums back up, then everyone would be able to see all your posts about how much you liked the teez tabor pick.

people love stare decisis when they liked the previous law and hate it when they dont. this thread is a few posts away from people claimaing alito wants to bring back slavery.

yes. has anyone said otherwise? but i'm a squish on abortion.

understood. i think any abortion after the first trimester is barbaric. but quite frankly, those are very very rare. i too would expect abortions in those circumstances to be due to medical necessity. at least i hope that would be the case.

i didnt follow those hearings (because theyre all a joke and just a way for senators to preen like peacocks), so i dont know what they said. i would imagine they said stuff so banal and amorphous that it meant nothing, and that collins and murkowski were going to vote them in if the gop needed their votes, and would vote not to confirm them if the gop didnt need their votes.

what did brett and neil and amy exactly say in their confirmation hearings? if you want to question the legitimacy of the court, you can go back to bush v gore, i suppose. or dred scott. heck, everyone's least favorite president andrew jackson flat out ignored the court and dared them to stop him. blame that rascal john marshall! i dont think of overturning roe affects the court's legitimacy, i think mcconnell's actions in preventing garland from getting a hearing do. and - even moreso - i think trump's election and actions while in office degraded the presidency and his court appointments are tainted by his actions. but at the heart of it all is social media. everything is instantly politicized by grifters on all sides who use the medium for their own gain. that's always occurred with the media but is more consequential now that everyone is connected on the internet.

would you place any limits on when you can get an abortion?
