Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

[onlinebiker]

I have to wonder what the big picture consequences will be.

If this goes as expected - will this further divide the country?

Will states that ban abortion try to enforce their laws in other states? For instance a pregnant woman travels to a pro-abortion state, has an abortion, then returns to her native anti- abortion state. Will she be charged with murder? What if she decides to stay in the pro- abortion state? Will the anti abortion state request extradition?

Will some states decide to leave the union?

How ugly is it going to get??

You have to realize that you're in the wrong when even Amazon - fucking Amazon - thinks you've gone too far.

Amazon To Pay Travel Expenses For Abortions

Amazon will reimburse staff in the US who travel for a wide range of non-life threatening medical treatments including elective abortions.
A message to Amazon staff said that the firm will pay up to $4,000 (£3,201) in travel expenses each year for treatments not available nearby.
Several other companies have announced plans that ensure staff have access to abortions.
It comes amid rising restrictions for the procedure nationwide.
Amazon's new benefits are effective retroactively from 1 January.
According to the announcement, first reported by Reuters, the new benefits will apply to treatments that are not available inside a 100-mile (161km) radius of an employee's home and for which virtual options are not available.

It seems that this is also a bad news for the gays:

The draft majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade that just leaked also explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (which ended laws that banned gay sex) and Obergefell v. Hodges (which legalized same-sex marriage). Alito claims they are not “deeply rooted in history.”

Exactly. Quite a large number of advances over the last few decades are going to go away under this court.

I fervently hope this turns into a 'be careful what you wish for' situation for the GQP.

It'll be a hornet's nest.

There's a FB page I follow that is headed up by a couple of female lawyers. They are gathering info from people who are willing to help anyone who has to travel to another state to have the procedure done. They changed their profile pic to one of The Handmaids.

Can't say I am overly surprised given who is sitting on the bench.

The leak of info is concerning too.

If Alito's comments are in the final draft, it is open season on women and gays. This is the religious Right's wet dream come true.

So, Alito's idea is that if a right existed in 1776, then it exists now. If it didn't exist then, it can't exist now. What a f'ing ass-hole.

Every church should be forced to install a baby drop box at every church

Everyone should have to register as pro life or pro choice. 

At the age of 18 every pro lifer will be put on a list for the next available baby and when your number is called you will have 9 months to prepare.

Sixty-something percent of Americans think Roe v. Wade should remain in place so it's an easy gamble on their part
