Chief Justice Roberts - Don't you go wobbly knees on us ...

[dogtag]

Roberts is about as stalwart as a wet rag. As loyal as a Judas.
If he votes to uphold Roe/Wade after members were threatened,
he'll single-handedly destroy the Court's credibility.
Of course he'll have help from the liberals, but that's to be expected.

He seems to like being known as the "swing judge". It appears to give him more power and in charge of the rest.

It probably gets him invited to soirees.

Roberts single handed saved "Obama Care." Now it looks like he's trying to do the same with Roe.

If after that memo from Alito was leaked with the text of a decision over turning Roe was leaked a campaign of intimidation was started against the Supreme Court. If a different decision is reached now it will signal to the left that intimidation worked.

I hope that you folks realize that if your Supreme Court overturns Roe, it will be a boon for medical tourism, particularly for Canada. I understand that a lot of clinics in Canada are expecting an uptick in requests for abortion from American women if Roe is struck down. While this may be a boon for our economy it could overwhelm our already straining medical system.

Canada is an outlier on this issue. We literally have no legislation covering abortion. Many years ago our Supreme Court found that the legislation then in place conflicted with our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (effectively part of our constitution) and no government, irrespective of where they are on the political spectrum will touch the subject with a 10 foot pole

The vast majority of Canadians support this situation and feel that abortion is a medical decision between the woman and her physician and that male lawmakers should not be involved at all.

don't believe all you read on the evening news,

legal types, incluiding RBG (IIRC) have said Roe is bad law, not in what it 'protects' but in the way it was written and done,
surely if struck down the world in some peoples mind will explode,

but for the majority of folks, life will go on,
and another version will pass, or the states will work it out,

Roberts has been attacked for joining the majority in the Obamacare decision, however when the Chief Justice joins the majority he gets to write the opinion. The others have to go along with it, Roberts' opinion was that Obamacare was a tax, not a regulation of commerce. Congress has the authority to levy taxes-and repeal them.

Can someone explain to me how the deliberate, premeditated killing of a perfectly innocent human being is not murder?

[blackhawknj]

Can someone explain to me why there is no "Right to Choose" for men ?

You have a point -- should not a man who does not wish to support a child have the right to force the mother to abort it?

[dogtag]

If a heartbeat is deliberately stilled. it's murder.
What happened to birth control ? Is swallowing a pill each morning so difficult ?

[blackhawknj]

Self-control is too difficult.
A man should not be compelled to support a child he doesn't want. Nor should the rest of us be taxed to support unwed mothers.

You do not have a legal or religious definition where life begins...either in the courts, or in your bible.

Build a What ?

Posted on September 10, 2021 by Rich

Once in a while you?ll witness a cat chase his own tail . Suddenly one will actually catch it and then know not what to do. I think we've just witnessed that with Texas . poor Texas.

Texas is a big place filled with big people who loudly cheered when a recent President claimed we need to eliminate regulations . Texans it would seem embraced the mantra of less regulation, less government intrusion and don't step on my personal freedoms by God because I'm now carrying a gun .

Yet, Texas has recently surpassed everyone else in its creation of new laws . I might agree with one or two of their multitudes of new voting laws but what really interests me is Mexico's reaction to the new regs on abortion in Texas. You see, Mexico immediately decriminalized abortion right over the border.

The Latin world is unlikely to ever forgive a slight and I m betting they're not forgetting the insults of them being bull horned to the world by a recent President of the United States . I can already see in my minds eye a whole new cottage industry springing to life , so to speak, as little clinics mushroom just south of the border. Not to mention a sudden increase in cross border tourism headed south .

Won?t be long before throngs of pot bellied Texas women are standing at the wall chanting .

Build a Gate ! Build a Gate ! Build a Gate !

Mexico will tell the world they will build a big beautiful gate , and America is going to pay for it.

Oh, on the uptick, All those jobs created at the new clinics will negate any need for their employees to cross over the border and pick our lettuce. All sounds like a win, doesn't it?
