    It’s simply beyond my comprehension how a near total abortion ban does NOT conflict with providing emergency health care for all patients, including pregnant women

      It conflicts, this court is illegitimate. Do not follow their orders. Do not take their rulings as law. Do not pass go and collect $200.

        Unfortunately the SCOTUS isn’t a court you can defy in an individual level. It informed federal, state and local authorities. Breaking those laws will absolutely end up with you in prison because those laws will likely be enforced in shit hole states.

          Except they can’t arrest us all. That’s why they crack down so heavily on protesting. The law only means shit if we’re willing to follow it. Doesn’t matter how many enforcers you have if your civilian population won’t submit.

            This is where a protest turns into a riot, and eventually, a revolt. Make sure you have a plan before you accidentally get involved in something the government will then hunt you down for.

            Btw: vast majority of people are still willing to follow most laws. Even speeding. Everyone slows down when they see a cop even if the entire interstate was doing 80.

              While true, human rights are not quite the same as traffic laws. Wait until the NLRB is deemed unconstitutional. That’s next on the agenda.

        You not recognizing their judgements has the same amount of pull as a sovcit telling the cop they’re traveling.

        Every courtroom and law occupation defers to their rulings.

          This wouldn’t be the first time a Supreme Court ruling was ignored, but it hasn’t been for a long time and it was never easy.

    If this passes, not only will people die from complications in states that enact total bans, those states will also hemorrhage maternal and fetal health care providers.

    People won’t just return to back-alley abortions, many will be forced to go back to birthing at home. Republicans want the 1950s. They’re gonna end up with the 1750s.

      Big facts. My friend is an ob/gyn. We’re in NC, on paper we don’t have a total ban but in practice it amounts to one. He’s currently commuting to VA to work because he doesn’t want to get sued, prosecuted, or watch patients almost die before he can treat them. shakes head

    Bet they dump all their rulings on the last day, then slink off to suck on the teat of Crow, Leo, and the other rich assholes who want to turn us into Russia.

    LOL, I hope they ban it.

    I love women, and a ban would galvanize them like abortion did in 2022. And then Clarence Thomas can die, Biden or Harris, whichever is alive at the time, can replace him with a young upstart progressive and then get shit done and undo the absolute bullshit that’s been going on for the last four years.

    For once, I sincerely hope they obey their evil corporate masters.

      The last time it took us almost 200 years to get the right, and over the next 50 nobody thought to codify it into law… I hope they fucking overturn it, and apologize.

      Lots of people get used to the new normal, all of them “doing what their corporate overlords want them to” will do serious harm to a lot of people while we wait 20 years for a person to die.

      Vote and campaign for better representation in Congress, vote locally, create mutual aid networks to bypass unjust laws. That’s how we win.
