With Roe, religious crackpots are just beginning

Washington Post

The Washington Post: Justice Thomas's threat:

Justice Clarence Thomas suggested he and his colleagues “should reconsider” the court’s past rulings codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex marriage and even same-sex relationships. The three liberal justices raised this prospect in their dissent, writing that “no one should be confident that this majority is done with its work.”

If that happens it will just left with the states and not the federal government just as the abortion ruling. It wouldn’t put a ban on anything or make anything illegal.

Bullshit! It will make abortion illegal in many states, which will make it hard to impossible for women---particularly poor women---to get abortion and proper health care. This is what happens when religious fanatics are allowed to make public health policy. That goes of course for the threee major superstitions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam and all the minor ones.

But it wasn’t hard or impossible for poor women to get an abortion pre-1973 roe v wade ruling.

Not "impossible" but a lot harder. Why is that? Because most of you Repugs are religious crackpots.

“ It will make abortion illegal in many states”

People will still be able to get an abortion within the first trimester.
