    I'm gonna need more popcorn as I watch liberals have total metal-downs. As if Roe v. Woe wasn't built on spurious legal reasoning anyways. Which is a whole separate issue from the morality or ethics of abortion.

    All this means is that states can decide for themselves, so now the game in on for pro-life advocates. Time to get busy!
    "If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

      Yup - it shows them for who they are ---- WAAAaaaaaannnnnhhhhhh, we didn't get our way --- RIOT!!!! (mostly or somewhat peacefully, of course)

      And even liberal experts have cited that.

      And the liberals will actually have to come up with solid arguments for killing babies, rather than just scream, "BUT SCOTUS!!!!"

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Just "perhaps even men"? Can men continue to be promiscuous as long as their female partners take necessary precautions?

        And then again she might not.

        Somehow all these future new borns will need to be cared for. And I am not sure if adoption demand for new borns will be enough to provide parents for all these unwanted babies, particularly as this is going to be a regular occurrence year on year. Between 2017 and 2019 around 1.8 million legal abortions took place. Even allowing for a drop in numbers can adoption services find parents for around 300- 400,000 babies every year?

          Yes, I know, you are so very desperate to see this turn into a worst case scenario. You are almost giddy with anticipation. But I honestly don't think it will happen.

            I am just interested in how all this is going to pan out. If the present adoption services and demand can cope - then great it will all have worked out beautifully.

              You think she's as worried about the millions of illegal aliens who are invading our country, and who will care for them, and provide them with clothing and healthcare and jobs...?

                Factor those in as well and you may find the USA has a serious issues with an increasing population.

                    I predict that American women will move from forced childbirth states to pro-choice states, and stop doing Christianity.

                      Let them.

                      And if they call themselves Christian and do so, then they aren't.

                          If they can afford to. It is the poor who as ever will be the ones who feel the brunt of this.

                            "stop doing Christianity"?

                            You know, in the US, you can actually move from state to state without special papers!

                            AND..... tons of people are leaving Blue States for Red States --- maybe the abortion tourists can backfill the vacancy!

                              The liberals always pretend to care about the poor. Welfare, ya know.

                                They try to wrap their thirst for the blood of unborn children in a cheap veneer of compassion.
