Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade?

The Gateway Pundit

The Gateway Pundit (TGP) is an American far-right[2] fake news website.[1] The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.[33]

Founded by Jim Hoft in 2004, The Gateway Pundit expanded from a one-person enterprise into a multi-employee operation that is supported primarily by advertising revenue.[34][35] During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the site received over a million unique visitors per day.[36] Twitter permanently suspended Hoft's account (@gatewaypundit) on February 6, 2021, for repeatedly publishing misinformation about the 2020 U.S. presidential election.[37][38][39] In September 2021, Google demonetized the site for publishing misinformation.[40][41][42]

Not so fast @Been There. Your source is crap.

Somewhere in here I said I believe there are legitimate reasons for abortions, but, otherwise, what you're saying is individuals will do something that's against the law and then blame somebody else if there are bad consequences.
And, in general, that does seem to be a thing these days.

What I'm saying is that desperate times call for desperate measures. Make abortion illegal and women who are desperate to get one will find a way to do so. Criminalizing an act doesn't stop it, it merely drives it underground and makes it unsafe.

Laws need to make sense for people to follow them. Various states criminalizing virtually all abortions makes no sense.
 

While I don't know if 'antifa' is part of 'shut down DC' I wasn't aware of this, @Been There and I thank you for doing all the work to bring it to my attention. I believe the basis of your story, and again thank you for providing so many links to back up your claim. You put your money where your mouth is.

Uh, no. Is harassment now another word for Free Speech? Would there be complaints if the Justices were followed by extreme admirers holding signs up and shouting support?

You are correct. I misinterpreted it with what is supposed to be legal protection for the Justices while they are determining an issue or something to that effect. The world is changing so fast that it is difficult to keep up with.

I am indeed in favor of 'free-speech' But I also do not believe demonstrations at their home should be permitted . The demonstrators are not just annoying them, they are also annoying / distrubing the family as well as the neighbors . Perhaps the entire neighborhood ? And they quite often impede traffic in the neighborhood as well.
 
The problem is: Where does "free speech" end and harassment begin? When people are demonstrating in residential neighborhoods and following around SCOTUS judges to protest their decisions, those on the other side call it harassment. But what about people protesting outside of abortion clinics with signs saying, "Don't murder your baby" and following women entering those clinics, shouting at them? It is OK if they are shouting "religious" ideology? What a tangled mess of "rights" this country has created.

Well said.

What the article describes is enabling or rewarding harassment. That will cost them (do not mean money here) one way or another. That is sick what they are doing.

Morton's should have stayed out of this hot button issue and the restaurant is paying an extreme price for it. Things will settle down.

Next time, the person in charge of making public statements at Morton's will consult the PR and legal department first.

Sixteen year old girl in Florida ordered by judge to give birth because she is not mature enough for an abortion. Tyranny in another red state. Down right cruelty. The judge is simply punishing her for having sex.

OMGoodness!!! We are in trouble because clearly the people making decisions are clueless..lets make that sans brains! I read a story today about a Louisiana woman who cannot legally abort unless she travels to Florida, where she can get it done before 15 weeks. She is now 13 weeks and has been told that her baby is missing a skull and part of it's head therefore will not survive birth. She said it feels really sad knowing she'll have to give birth to the baby then bury it. Not to allow her to be an exception to the new ruling is just cruel IMO! :mad: :cry:

I know you have me on ignore, [as such this will go unseen ] {by you} and I know we seem to never agree but ..... On this , if all the points noted are indeed true. Then yes I agree with you. It seems to me that the mother would/will go through much more emotional trauma by carrying to full term , than she would if she were permitted to abort at this point.

I am not a religious man so I will just wish her the best.
 
Is anybody surprised by these rulings? They're going to get more egregious and heavy-handed as judges and politicians become increasingly emboldened and doctors become increasingly fearful.

This is a slippery, ugly slope, my friends.

Next time you hear some self-satisfied American waving the flag and pointing with derision at oppressive governments in the Middle East, remember that four fingers point right back at the "freedom loving" US. We're moving in that direction. Apace.
