Abortion law/US..

[Stacky]

Not so sure, Republicans will be in complete control come November then 1-2 terms Presidency after Dozy Joe put his slippers on.

States like Texas Arizona slowly turning blue due to business moving there but the Christian movement still very powerful and attractive to the younger folks over there.

Texas and Arizona are getting more liberal due to migration from outside the U.S. and more liberal Californians moving there for lower taxes and huge tech hubs in Austin, Energy and Medical jobs in Houston but it may well be a red gerrymandered State for a while yet.

You're exaggerating. Now go back to sleep.

No. You don't get to tell other people what their experiences are.

Though I suppose, give the subject matter of this thread, maybe you just like trying to tell women what they can do.

Strangely enough many of the Central /South American immigrants actually vote Red like last Presidential election particularly in Florida .

Throw out that word Communism especially to the Cubans and a red rag to a bull.

Oooh!!!!. I'm the one supporting men and women having the right to decide what the abortion laws should be in the State they live in. Good old democracy. You want to deny them that choice. You want it left to a bunch of old men in the Supreme Court back in the 1970s to decide what the abortion laws should be.

You either don't understand US law, or you are willfully misrepresenting it.

The current Supreme Court Justices could maintain it's current ideological focus for the next 15 years.

Complete gibberish. It puts the choice back to individual states where it should always have been. Nothing more nothing less. You just can't accept people have the right to think differently to you and the rest of the PC mob.

This isn’t as simple as you make it.

First is the question of whether a “right” is simply contingent on what a state says it is or whether it’s something that everyone possesses inalienably. The states that want to ban abortion within their own borders also believe that there is no right to abortion as such. If you have been watching, the States that have tried to ban abortion recently have also tried to make it illegal to travel to another state for an abortion as well.

Probably no coincidently, the States that want to ban abortion want to ban gay marriage and in some cases make homosexual relations illegal (again). The problem here is that it would make one’s gay marriage illegal in some states but not others.

Some States that want to make abortion illegal also want to make it a capital crime for both the mother and the medical personnel involved. And a person who assists in other ways, like driving the woman to the abortionist, would be considered an accessory.

This distinguishing of rights by state goes further than abortion and it’s becoming disturbing. Various voting “rights” are being defined locally now. The supposed separation of church and state is as well. The history of the US from the Civil War to now has been about the opposition between so-called “States’s rights” and universal rights. These recent developments are a step backwards.

The court is currently divided 6-3 in favour of "conservatives." Donald Trump nominated three justices to the court, all of them in their 50s.

Going by historical data, the next appointment will probably be made by whoever is President post 2028. This could be to replace Conservative Judge, Clarence Thomas, who is now the oldest member of the court at 73. The trend is for Justices to serve into their 80s.

If "liberals" want to influence the court, then they will probably need to hold the Presidency from 2028 to 2036.

Otherwise the combination of the age profile of the Justices and the electoral cycle would appear to indicate that the current "conservative" makeup of the court will continue for at least the next thirty years.

I remember meeting Judge Patwell a few times, he never told me if he was a Conservative or the other side and I believe he was neither. Strange country is America.
