People seem to be under a serious misconception

Congress does not have the authority to protect abortion access in such a way that this SC is bound to respect

This SC decided access to an abortion is not a fight

As a result Congress, short of a constitutional amendment, cannot protect it

They do not have the authority

They CAN effectively ban it by restricting interstate commerce of the equipment and medicine to perform abortions. But protect it? No

And we are looking at a conservative Supermajority for decades to come

Reproductive freedom, shoot even basic health care for women won't soon recover
Doctors will avoid ob/gyn specialty (already with the highest malpractice costs) like the plague. Who would want to tempt jail for providing care. Cause abortions are necessary care for many miscarriages which 1/3 of pregnancies result in. And that says nothing about losing abortions training as a skill

And as horrendous as lack of abortion care is the court is aiming for more rights-voting, marriage, divorce, sex, pornography, contraception and more

This court is aiming not for the 1950s but the 1800s by destroying all of the carefully protected structures of civil society and civil rights created in the past 100 years.

Conservatives hated the New Deal and overturning Jim Crow then and have finally the power to reverse it all. Reproductive freedom was a low hanging fruit primed to be overturned

I can even see a world where social security and Medicare are deemed unconstitutional

This is a brave new world and one we are singularly unprepared for

2016 and McConnell stealing a SC seat may be the most impactful thing since WW 2

The states have spoken. Some like Abortion, some dont.
Go f*c) yourselves and stay in your state.

#30 | POSTED BY BOAZ

Boaz, yet another republican who chooses willful ignorance over informed decision making.

One of the points being made by the author is that even without a nationwide ban, the way Dobbs has been enforced in impacting women's healthcare nationwide.

Women are travelling to ----------- states for healthcare. The OB/GYNs in ----------- states are now overwhelmed with patients, impacting their ability to provide basic gynecological care to everyone.

And that is just ONE aspect.

Doctor training is and will continue to degrade.

Fewer physicians are and will choose OB/GYN services.

There are little healthcare deserts in many -------- states-meaning there is NO OB/GYN healthcare to be found, anywhere, at any price.
So, even the smallest, most fixable issue with pregnancy becomes a matter of life or death for women.

How anyone can have this cavalier attitude towards women as espoused by Boaz is beyond me.

I have posted this numerous times and it remains true.

The effects of Dobbs:

1. The rate of abortions nationwide has increased.
2. The level of effort and cost to obtain an abortion has increased.
3. The dangers associated with being pregnant have increased.
4. Fewer women are choosing to get pregnant.
5. More women are choosing getting their tubes tied.

Only a conservative could have a goal like that of increasing the number of children born that results in fewer children being born, more danger to women, at higher costs and a reduction in the long term prospect for more children.

Folks, don't let your kids grow up to be republicans.

Here are the receipts for my comments on the effects of Dobbs
