Roe v. Wade to be overturned?

There is talk.

Even if they mandate that a doctor in a Ban state is required to give the state "updates" on every pregnancy they confirm through birth - it will just lead to women heading to doctors out of state once the EPT test is done a couple of times.

 

Sounds like a lot of the loony tunes and hysteria I mentioned before. Scary talk that's good for fundraising, but nothing concrete.
Advocacy groups help draft crazy legislation and find sympathetic stooge lawmakers to introduce it — on issues all across the political spectrum — all the time. They can introduce a bill that requires every citizen to wear a ham sandwich as a hat under penalty of death. Doesn't mean the bill is going anywhere. Pardon me if I save my concern for when one of these things make it beyond the first of 20 steps of the legislative process.

 

Easy for you to say. The anti-abortion side loves telling women and pro-choicers that their concerns are just mere hysteria and that nothing is ever going to happen. All of that went out when Roe was overturned.

 

Does Texas' current law on the books, which allows anyone to sue anyone getting or providing an abortion, count?

 

If an undocumented immigrant - or even a tourist - gets pregnant in the USA, does that mean she is carrying a citizen that can’t be deported?

 

I've used that one too.

The other fun one is when conservatives complain about undocumented immigrants is to point out that it's not a problem because the GOP says there's room for 63 million more people in the country. When they say that's ridiculous, then point out to them that we should thank God for Roe vs. Wade then.

 

And also, it's legal for those who are age 17 years and three months to vote. And we all know that younger votes trend Democratic.

 

Let's find some common ground. If the Right gets to enjoy a certain degree of hysteria over proposals that would repeal the Second Amendment and require police to confiscate guns, then the Left can enjoy some of the same levels of hysteria about proposals that would require police to set up 24/7 checkpoints at every state line and airport to run pregnancy tests.
Fair?

 

Your argument only works if the Second Amendment already was repealed. Roe has already been overturned. And besides, throughout 200+ years of Constitutional history, there has been one amendment that has been repealed, and in hindsight, it was a ridiculous amendment to begin with.

 

You know some Taliban state is gonna pass a "life begins at conception" law.

As said, that opens up a huge can of worms. You're of legal drinking age at 20 years, 3 months of "breathing" life (for the lack of a better term). You can vote at 17 years, 3 months, get a license at 14 and 3, etc, etc. So many state laws will have to be changed because they can't say life begins at conception, then keep current age-related laws on the books as is.

 

Don't worry, all those things that Republicans are advocating for to be put into law like arresting people crossing state lines for abortion will NEVER HAPPEN! Even though Republicans are advocating for them.
