Wonder what will happen when rich white conservative women have miscarriages? Will they be sent to jail?

They may not have a choice. Im assuming these states are cheaper for people. A lot of people are too poor to just up and move to blue states.

Hence I said well off people, be interesting to see how business reacts to this when people don't want to work in those states

Makes me feel sick this, cant begun to understand what it feels like for a woman in america

Same Pelosi that endorsed an anti abortion candidate in Henry Cuellar. Hmmm

Its an utterly awful ruling, gay rights are next.

Yup. They’ve already been setting the groundwork by calling teachers and parents who teach their kids about gay rights ‘groomers’

Also seen the old “gay people are paedophiles” shout thrown about from some the more outspoken ones. Thought we left all this nonsense in the past

A horrible day for womens rights in the US today, sets a worrying precedent moving forward.

They need to bring the country to a standstill similar to Iceland in the 80's. Just down tools

This ruling makes November all the more important. Next time GOP get in they will go for a Federal ban. Pence is already calling for bans nationwide

I must have skipped the chapter in my Political Science book about how one stage of democracy is the Patriarchal Christian Fascist stage.

Same Pelosi that endorsed an anti abortion candidate in Henry Cuellar. Hmmm

Politicians eh?

I’d like to see the money she’s pining for diverted to free birth control in the areas that are going to be impacted be the decision. Or start funds to support travel and procedures for those who need to cross state lines. Won’t fix the problem but it’s at least something real that can be done to help those areas. People up and moving won’t happen so what are real things that can be put in place to support here?

Or a black person, a Hispanic, a school child or so many other of their citizens. Beacon of freedom and liberty? K’off, they’re fluffing backward.

Taking away the reproductive rights of women is one of the most backward things a society can stoop to
