Too bad they didn't exclude Ginni Thomas www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1097803459/supreme-court-roe-v-wade-abortion-access-protest-alitoA bill to grant security for the families of U.S. Supreme Court justices unanimously passed the Senate Monday.
The Supreme Court Police Parity Act would provide police protection to the immediate families of the nine justices and other officers of the court, if the "Marshal determines such protection is necessary," the legislation says. |

As much as we talk about the uninformed Republican electorate who goes against themselves like sheeple, the current democrats are not so informed either or can't be bothered to talk or ask questions of their oh so quiet leaders, representatives, and/or candidates.

If this continues there truly is no hope for our country. Just know the peas are informed here... But we are a small number.. |

If Republicans DO run on the economy, and they will, we have to ask: what are their ideas? Drill for more oil? Companies have 9000 permits to drill right now, and they aren’t doing it. Why not? Because they are betting that in the end, it will not be profitable and might cost investors money. They have lost $$ before and are not anxious to do it again. What other ideas do they have? Here is my prediction. Republicans will rail against Biden on inflation, but if questioned, will have little in the way of policies to combat it. Maybe they will be able to convince big oil to drill. I doubt it. Those companies answer to shareholders. Rs will offer very little in terms of solutions. Because, honestly, aside from SC Justices, what policies have Republicans offered up? Let's see. Raising taxes on middle-class families. Eliminating social security and medicare. Book banning. Criminalizing abortion. Super popular positions, all of them! |

I just heard on the today show that Rick Scott proposed a bill that would raise taxes on 50% of Americans and let Medicare and social security expire. Doesn’t sound like a great plan to me. Not just 50% of Americans, the poorest 50% of Americans because he falsely thinks they don't have any skin in the game. Despite the fact that they pay sales taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes on their wages, and property taxes indirectly or directly through rent. The entire plan is awful, it's designed to impose Christianity on everyone. I do have to wonder how the the poor people in Appalachia who vote Republican will feel about having their taxes raised. |

Even without Scott's plan, Republicans have figured out how to get lower income earners to vote against their own financial best interests. Politicians and Fox convince them that Republicans are better for the economy, Democrats are responsible for inflation, high gas prices etc. |

This is what we have to look forward to in other states if Roe is overturned www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/10/1097734167/in-texas-abortion-laws-inhibit-care-for-miscarriagesAs the Supreme Court appears poised to return abortion regulation to the states, recent experience in Texas illustrates that medical care for miscarriages and dangerous ectopic pregnancies would also be threatened if restrictions become more widespread.
"The challenge is that the treatment for an abortion and the treatment for a miscarriage are exactly the same," said Dr. Sarah Prager, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington in Seattle and an expert in early pregnancy loss. |

Thought this was a pretty accurate description of the draft. Like Ron Johnson, Alito is beyond clueless, he's completely out of touch and living in a different world than most of us. And ACB is worse with just carry the fetus to term, do your 9 months and drop it off at a fire station. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/05/13/motherhood-formula-abortion-rights/The opinion’s biggest problem isn’t that it was cruel, it’s that it was incurious. It did not attempt to understand pregnancy or motherhood. It was the 98-page equivalent of, “Why don’t you just embrace your womanhood and nurture your children?”
The root problem isn’t a domestic supply chain issue, either of formula or of babies. The root problem is that too many of the people whom we elect to power are shielded from the mess and stress of reproduction and motherhood. |

They won’t care at the end of the day because somehow it will be democrats fault. I say this as someone who grew up in Appalachia and ended up coming back. There is a very deep seated resentment here that the Republicans have very successfully played on by demonizing “others” — immigrants stealing jobs, those slutty women having abortions, those liberal elite trying to tell them they have to let other people have rights. |

He's right - about both the reaction in Washington and the impact on our country. I only copied parts of the opinion, but you can see the entire piece without a paywall on the 2nd link. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/13/roe-big-picture-fundamental-attack/wapo.st/3lapivn
Washington’s reaction to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade has been typically myopic.
Republicans first tried to make people believe that the issue wasn’t the opinion itself but the leak. Now they’re absurdly trying to portray Democrats as supporters of infanticide. Democrats, in turn, squabbled among themselves before a show vote on a doomed abortion rights bill. And the news media have reverted to our usual horse-race speculation about how it will affect the midterms.
Assuming little changes from the draft, overturning Roe would be a shock to our way of life, the social equivalent of the 9/11 attacks (which shattered our sense of physical security) or the crash of 2008 (which undid our sense of financial security). As epoch-making decisions go, this is Brown v. Board of Education, but in reverse: taking away an entrenched right Americans have relied upon for half a century. We remember Brown because it changed us forever, not because it altered the 1954 midterms.
This small-bore response misses the radical change to society that Justice Samuel Alito and his co-conspirators are poised to ram down the throats of Americans. Their stunning action might well change the course of the midterms — but more importantly, it is upending who we are as a people.
...
The political jockeying misses the overarching significance: that the expectation of reproductive freedom, of a woman’s autonomy over her own body, built into the American psyche over two generations, is about to be shattered.
...
This shows the folly of Republicans’ attempt to reframe the debate. Roe v. Wade isn’t some little-known term such as “critical race theory” that can be hijacked with disinformation. Americans understand it as plainly as they understand Social Security, and they aren’t going to be convinced that the 50 years under Roe was a time of rampant killing of viable fetuses.
...
Americans are not stupid. They know Roe, and they’ll know who the extremists are when, post-Roe, they see states considering or enacting legislation to charge women with homicide for abortions, to ban abortion even for life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, to throw doctors in jail, and to forbid women any relief even if they are raped — calling the rape of a 13-year-old girl an “opportunity” for her.
I hope voters punish Republicans in November for this assault on Americans’ freedom, and there’s evidence they will. A new Monmouth poll shows abortion has leaped to being the top concern of 25 percent of voters, virtually tied with the economy. But it took years (and a stolen seat or two) to build this destructive Supreme Court. The building backlash will have to be just as sustained.

Especially in emergency situations, it's absolutely critical and more important than ever for the decision to be left to patients and doctors, not politicians. Or when it's a heartbreaking decision about a wanted baby or chemotherapy, for example. Politicians need to stay out of it. And I'm really tired of the anti abortion advocates focusing on the extreme situations. |

Another perspective and another unintended consequence of overturning Roe - the readiness of the military www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/05/18/overturning-roe-disastrous-america-military-readiness/This will immediately affect active-duty service members, who don’t exactly get to choose what state they serve in, and who don’t have the freedom to travel to other states without a leave “chit” approved up the chain of command — a command that is notoriously bad at dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault.
In a world without Roe, service members without ready access to abortion care would be trapped. A service member who is raped and becomes pregnant could essentially be forced by the government to carry their pregnancy to term and give birth to their rapist’s baby.
This lack of protections is unacceptable. Forcing service members with unwanted pregnancies to covertly seek abortion care — or to carry a pregnancy to term — would be inhumane. If the United States values women’s military service, it must find a way to ensure they have a choice.
