What? Are you saying he's a grifter who made his entire platform on hating on the right and doesn't believe in anything he says? No, no. Not cool, dude.

So now if you live in this area, you won't get mail because people who deliver said mail are getting attacked and robbed. Lovely. Can we just build a wall around Cali?

Unconstitutional AF!

They act like this doesn't apply to people who are "white". It is funny too because "white people" have the most diversity in terms of heritage and culture but here in 'Merica, people been dumbed down to a state of cornbread and don't know shit about fuq!

SCOTUS leak suggests that Roe vs Wade could be overturned:
www.politico.com

Exclusive: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.
www.politico.com www.politico.com

Obviously this is causing huge reactions both right and left. Bernie Sanders is currently advocating to overturn some checks and balances in order to get his own way:
 
The left leaked it on purpose to sway the vote. My guess.

Getting rid of this won't outright ban abortion. It will just allow states to ban it. There will still be states that continue to allow it and Amazon already said they will pay for their female employees to travel to have them in other states.

That seems to be consensus.

They're acting like it's the end of the world that they may be inconvenienced when killing babies:

They overreact over everything. Nothing even happened yet. It isn't the end of the world and there are plenty of other options to prevent pregnancy.

(I would guess most states will continue to allow it)
 
I made a joke about the left thinking this was the handmaid's tale happening and they went and proved me right... LOL

Sadly, I posted that on Twitter as a joke and the trending news stories said men's fertility is in decline and is at an all-time low. In the story... It was the men who had trouble conceiving, not the women...

I have a feeling that regardless of morals, politicians who want to vote this out are doing it because they know it will cause chaos.

I don't trust the government.

Still reading through this, but so far this is pretty solid commentary:

SHAPIRO: Draft Supreme Court Majority Opinion Leaks STRIKING DOWN Roe v. Wade. Here’s What All Of That Means.

Late on Monday evening, May 2, Politico broke a world-shattering story: it posted an exclusive leak of a purported majority opinion in Dobbs v. Mississippi (2022), the case considering whether or not Roe v. Wade (1973), which created out of whole cloth a right to abortion, ought to be overruled...

I want the states to have more power and say again. This is a step in the right direction. Assuming it goes through. I am sick of the government having so much say in our lives.

I can only see maybe 2 or 3 states outright banning abortion. The rest will keep it and red states will be more strict (only allowing it for a set timeframe and making it a more thought out process) while blue states will go the opposite and likely go all the way to childbirth which is just satanic. I don't care what side of the fence people sit on, allowing abortion to take place at that point... You are an insanely batshit crazy person to see nothing wrong with it.
