They don't see themselves on our side. Everyone whose opinion they value is in Washington DC and those people are telling them they're screwed.

Only the truly weak would consider a good decision by the SC is a liability.

No, media driven outrage never lasts long before they have to move on to a new outrage.

Yes. In as much as it creates a larger population of people dependent on the government and voting Democrat.

That's not at all what I said. I said the majority of those who are pro-life probably don't realize what all is actually considered an abortion. Abortion is a lot more than just killing unwanted babies - which any level-minded human can agree is wrong. What a lot of them don't realize is that if "abortion" is illegal in a state, then a lot of those pro-life women aren't gonna be able to get IVF. By definition, IVF involves abortion of multiple "babies" in order to be successful. What I'm saying is that a lot of people who call themselves pro-life and are thrilled with this decision may not necessarily realize the ramifications that come with completely outlawing abortion, which a lot of states are going to do now that SCOTUS overturned Roe vs Wade.

If they are so shallow that the uterus will determine the future of the USA, we are fricked. If they are willing to continue to empower the idiot in the White House who has given us an uncontrolled border, highest inflation in 40 years, high gasoline and rampant crime over abortion, then we are fricked as a country and desperately needing the Chinese or the Russians to nuke us. Women should never have been given the vote.

So abandon a party you have only one disagreement with to join a party you have only one agreement with.

That’s the people we have voting these days.

I agree. They never really had to think about the issue. Is it enough to overcome the cost to fill up their Suburban...I think not but shite happens. Mean Tweets had consequences. I dont think its crazy too think this will too.

link?

Im guessing you are referring to selective reduction?


I know plenty of people who chose to attempt to implant the number they are comfortable raising at a time and it was successful.


I say dont bite off more than you can chew. As far as destruction of embryos? dont bite off more than you can chew and donate what you dont use. Also you act like the laws wouldnt be written to accommodate this anyways. Believe me the dems would be already using this if they could.



ETA once again you involve your presumptions that Pro life people dont know what pro life means. I have facts that more people are pro life than there are republicans.

Yeah, because all the radical feminists and pro-abortion advocates won't vote GOP anymore.

.Id say most people, whether they realize or not hold a nuanced opinion on abortion. Some value exceptions for rape incest and fetal viability and still consider themselves pro life. No one is calling out your data or position. Just having a discussion on how things thougts may change for some on the issue.

By all means, please let us know when Texas or whatever starts shutting down IVF.

No. It’s a vocal minority. Most women are pro-life. By the time of the elections it will just be Democrats yelling about it back and forth amongst each other.

For once in my life, conservatives (in this case justices), did something conservative.

Stop worrying about the fallout make the decision, set policy, stand up for conservative ideals and unify the base. The left never gives two shits who their gonna lose when they implement their ridiculous agenda and if the right would just nut up and push back with stuff like this all the time we wouldnt be in this mess.


TAKE THE WIN.
