Roe v wade

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has warned that the U.S. could see violence and rioting from the left if Roe v. Wade is overturned. While speaking on Newsmax on Tuesday, Cruz claimed that if Roe v. Wade is overturned the "left will lose their minds." However, the senator did not explain his reasoning for predicting riots or violence and did not give any evidence to suggest this would be a likely occurrence. A video clip of this snippet from his interview with Shaun Kraisman has also gone viral on Twitter with over 180,000 views.

In what many will consider the U.S. Supreme Court 's biggest decision in a generation, the court has overturned the landmark 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed constitutional protection of abortion rights. The court's conservative majority ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that their predecessors erred 49 years ago by finding a woman's right to abortion was protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision also represents a significant victory for Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, who has been clear that he believes Roe should be overturned. Dobbs v. Jackson asked the justices to uphold a Mississippi law that bans almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy and presented a direct challenge to the court's precedent. While abortion rights advocates will view the decision as a blow to women's rights , those opposed to abortion have reason to celebrate and to thank Thomas for his contribution to a significant legal … [Read more...] about How Clarence Thomas finally triumphed in 30-year battle against Roe v.

Progressive women across America are rightfully angry and terrified. The Supreme of the United States took away our constitutional right to safe and legal abortion this Friday. As I watched the news break, I looked at the faces of my two young daughters and wondered what I should tell them about what it now means to grow up female in the world's richest democracy. Scrolling through Twitter , I felt the tangible rage of my fellow reproductive justice colleagues and thought about all the people (read: men) who told us for years that abortion would never be taken away from American women, and we were all just being "hysterical." The irony of being dismissed because of alleged hysteria is not lost on me. In fact, it's the core argument of my book, The Pain Gap: How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women, in which I urge women to redefine the term. For too long, the idea of "hysteria" shaped how we view and dismiss women's health concerns. And yet, this age-old notion, that … [Read more...] about In overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has endangered Black women | Opinion

The activist said the decision would cause serious harm to women and claimed certain lawmakers would try to “criminalise the women that transport” those wanting abortions, further blocking the possibility of help for those in need.

We've all heard the claim that reversing Roe v. Wade would constitute a fundamental threat to our democracy. That claim and the voices repeating it are going to get louder, more vehement, and more violent in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court 's historic decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization . And that claim is utterly false. In fact, what has just transpired is far more of a triumph for democracy than for the pro-life cause. It is fair to say that the decision may be the most important victory for the preservation of the democratic process the Supreme Court has ever delivered. How so? We've all heard the ruling in Roe summarized like this: "The Supreme Court legalized abortion." In fact, in the last month or so, The New York Times , National Public Radio, and many other major news sources used this phrasing to describe the Court's history. Such phrasing describes a legislative process. And as we all should know, Article I, Section 1 of the … [Read more...] about Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v.

In 2019, a dozen states passed some version of a heartbeat bill—a statute prohibiting abortion after an unborn child's heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks into pregnancy. The same year, several Democrat-controlled states enacted laws expanding access to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. The increased interest in abortion policy came in light of the impending possibility that the Supreme Court might overturn Roe v. Wade , which today it has finally done. But most revealing was what happened next. Abortion providers and advocacy groups immediately sued the states with heartbeat bills, and one by one, those laws were blocked in court before they could save any lives. But while the pro-life laws were being struck down, the laws expanding access to abortion and affirmatively declaring abortion a fundamental right remained in place, as they are to this day. How did we end up in this lopsided situation, where Americans who support abortion were permitted … [Read more...] about Roe was wrong the day it was decided.

Washington — The bombshell decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights has upended 50 years of precedent and handed state lawmakers across the country the power to restrict or ban abortion .The result will be a patchwork of laws that vary based on where a person lives. Thirteen states have so-called "trigger laws" on the books, in which abortion will swiftly be outlawed in most cases. In Friday's ruling, the court upheld a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion, "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. ... It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives." Roe had held that the Constitution protected a woman's right to an abortion before the point at which a fetus is viable outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks of pregnancy. A number of Republican-led states have … [Read more...] about With Roe v. Wade overturned, which states would restrict or protect abortion rights?

For almost 50 years, American conservatives have fought to strike down the landmark Supreme Court ruling that granted women the right to an abortion. Now it appears their dream has been realised, with a leaked draft suggesting the country's highest court has voted to overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade decision . Such a move could obliterate access to abortion in roughly half the country and criminalise the practice in several states. But behind closed doors, few Republicans in Washington are likely to be celebrating. The decision puts the Supreme Court firmly at odds with the overwhelming majority of Americans and could torpedo the GOP's hopes of gaining sizeable majorities in Congress this November. Recent polling suggests as many as 70 per cent oppose overturning Roe v Wade . The issue has the ability to mobilise voters unlike any other in the critical midterm elections and could swing the result in the most closely fought races. Hundreds of pro-life activists poured … [Read more...] about Roe v Wade: Why Supreme Court’s abortion vote could be a gift for Joe Biden

The message board user known as Q who inspired the QAnon conspiracy theory, has posted for the first time in more than 18 months. Someone with access to Q's login credentials posted a message on 8kun, the internet community where Q last message was made in December 2020. "Shall we play a game once more?" said the first post which was signed Q followed by the other equally cryptic messages "Are you ready to serve your country again?" followed by "remember your oath." In response to one user's question about the long hiatus, Q replied, "it had to be done this way." The messages were written in the same format as thousands of earlier Q posts which are known as "Q Drops" which spawned the pro-Donald Trump movement QAnon. Its followers believe the messages outline a conspiracy driven explanation of the world. This includes the idea that Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles in the Democratic Party , finance and other institutions are controlling the world and worked against former … [Read more...] about QAnon founder returns after Roe v.
