    , “I would say the Extreme Court is imposing Sharia Law on the United States, but that would be a lie. Even under Sharia Law women are not left to suffer and die from a tubal pregnancy.”

    Can the Supreme Court be sued for criminal negligence as soon as there’s a death related to this?

    So, this pretty much eliminates the need to go to hospitals for birth, yeah? I mean it sounds like they’re just gonna let you die anyway. Time for a Doula revolution

      Eliminates the need? More like eliminates the option.

      Obstetricians are leaving the state in droves (because their job has become an increasingly risky legal obstacle course), and hospitals are shutting down their birthing centers (because they don’t have obstetricians to see patients).

            Plus the droves of idiots who actually agree with this shit, whether through honest belief or indoctrination.

            Story time! My friend’s cousin gave birth to a child with no brain. It had a rudimentary brain stem but literally had no brain. Her doctors knew this early on and suggested she abort as it had a 0% chance of survival. She was staunchly anti-abortion and declined, going on about how God meant her to have this child. So she carried it to term and actually managed to keep it alive for a few weeks, telling anyone who listened that it was her miracle baby. It would roll its eyes around and twitch at random. Surprising no one, it soon died. She was crushed as she thought it was getting better. Somehow. Magic I guess.

            This is what American christofascist indoctrination does to people. It’s like the Handmaid’s Tale but everyone is 50% stupider.

    How in the everloving fuck can a legal system be so absolutely broken as to not allow self defence.

    To simplify this… Idaho (and other states) are spending time and money to make sure that a pregnant woman and the fetus die from pregnancy complications, instead of just the fetus.

    If you are a woman in one of these states, they would rather let you die a slow, gory, painful and entirely preventable death, than allow you to terminate an already failed pregnancy on the off chance that God comes down and re-inplants your ectopic pregnancy, something which has, to my knowledge, never happened before, not even in their fucking fairytale book.

      You mean the same book that instructed priests to perform abortions on pregnant women if their husband even suspected infidelity?

      Its not about their sky-daddy, its jist about control.

        I was talking about one that extols the virtues of letting a mob rape your daughters in order to save two dudes you’ve just met from the same fate.

    they wouldn’t want to interfere with the right of self proclaimed Christians to use laws to enforce their imagined dogma on everyone else

    “We should leave it up to the States to decide,” knowing full well that each and every case would end up before the Supreme Court no matter which way they went and that the SCOTUS would eventually get to decide for every single state again.

    The title is incorrect. It should read: The Supreme Court is an accomplice to pre meditated murder.

    In two years this will be the law in over 20+ states.

    Still think it’s okay that all the Democrats did was raise money off Roe repeal?

      Hillary had ‘baggage’ so people didn’t vote for her and got this supreme Court instead. Let’s make sure to continue this winning strategy because it works so well /s

          As much as I despise the “both parties” rhetoric, I’m afraid it feels more and more like Democrats are simply controlled opposition. In spite of Republicans being famous for doing nothing but obstruction, the way Democrats piss around rather than actually work towards a unified goal upsets me to no end.
