, “I would say the Extreme Court is imposing Sharia Law on the United States, but that would be a lie. Even under Sharia Law women are not left to suffer and die from a tubal pregnancy.”
~ VP Harris
Can the Supreme Court be sued for criminal negligence as soon as there's a death related to this?
- Qualified immunity. They ruled on it themselves
  
  The system is f$cked.
time to leave Idaho
- Yeah. I'm tired of embarrassment every time I see my state mentioned in a news headline.
  
  It could be worse. You could be from Florida
  
  As a former Texan, I get it.
- OB-GYN's have already been fleeing Idaho. This is just going to accelerate it. Pretty soon they won't have any maternity wards left because these batshit Christians want to have absolute control over all women in the state.

  I remember a time where a lot of Christians shat on other religions for doing this exact type of thing.
- Id always say stay and be vocal about making a change. Be the vote to remove the religious terrorists from government. Dont give extremists more voting power.
  But also, can 100% understand saying fuck this murderous shithole of a state and move away.
- Ida outta here
  
  And with her gone, it'll just be a state Santa visits three times a year.
So, this pretty much eliminates the need to go to hospitals for birth, yeah? I mean it sounds like they're just gonna let you die anyway. Time for a Doula revolution
- Eliminates the need? More like eliminates the option.
  Obstetricians are leaving the state in droves (because their job has become an increasingly risky legal obstacle course), and hospitals are shutting down their birthing centers (because they don't have obstetricians to see patients).
  
  True but if you don't go, you don't have to pay them to do nothing taps temple
  
  Who will be left in these shithole states?
How in the everloving fuck can a legal system be so absolutely broken as to not allow self defence.
To simplify this... Idaho (and other states) are spending time and money to make sure that a pregnant woman and the fetus die from pregnancy complications, instead of just the fetus.
If you are a woman in one of these states, they would rather let you die a slow, gory, painful and entirely preventable death, than allow you to terminate an already failed pregnancy on the off chance that God comes down and re-inplants your ectopic pregnancy, something which has, to my knowledge, never happened before, not even in their fucking fairytale book.
- You mean the same book that instructed priests to perform abortions on pregnant women if their husband even suspected infidelity?
  Its not about their sky-daddy, its jist about control.
  
  I was talking about one that extols the virtues of letting a mob rape your daughters in order to save two dudes you've just met from the same fate.
And that's gonna really help people and companies decide where not to go.
Welcome to back water America. Pathetic.
The title is incorrect. It should read: The Supreme Court is an accomplice to pre meditated murder.
"We should leave it up to the States to decide," knowing full well that each and every case would end up before the Supreme Court no matter which way they went and that the SCOTUS would eventually get to decide for every single state again.
they wouldn't want to interfere with the right of self proclaimed Christians to use laws to enforce their imagined dogma on everyone else
Confederate SCOTUS gonna make states rights the cover up issue for Republicans who have already set foot on their war path with America.
In two years this will be the law in over 20+ states.
Still think it's okay that all the Democrats did was raise money off Roe repeal?
- Hillary had 'baggage' so people didn't vote for her and got this supreme Court instead. Let's make sure to continue this winning strategy because it works so well /s
- Are we still thinking Dems are the 'good guys'?
  
  Relatively speaking? Yes, unambiguously. Absolutely speaking? There are no good guys.
  
  I get downvoted to hell all the time for (rightly) criticizing Democrats.
Freedom to ban.
