As anticipated, the push for a national ban on abortions has begun:

I thought you always said Americans favor keeping abortion legal?

The polls say it.

But with this court, all it will take is the right court case for them to rule as Pence wishes.

And even without, if Pence (or somebody with similar feelings) were to win, an executive order banning abortions nationally would then provide the case.
Both Scenarios are impossible.
And you are remarkably partisan and ignorant.

Oh those polls!

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/27/1107733632/poll-majorities-oppose-supreme-courts-abortion-ruling-and-worry-about-other-righ

For me the most interesting things from the report of the pl is that Dems have gone from - 3 to + 7 on the generic congressional ballot. That is about where it was when the Dems surprisingly swept Congress in 2018. Also, 51% say they "definitely " would vote for a candidate that would support a federal law restoring abortion rights nationally, and Democratic enthusiasm for voting has skyrocketed. 4 months before the election, and gas and inflation are likely to eat into those numbers, but look for Repo congressional candidates who emerge from the primary to "pull a Kavanaugh" and lie about their intentions about the issue.

What difference does that make? A Repo controlled Congress would fear being primaried more than the general election, and the candidates being nominated are running on the whole culture war issue. They will move to ban abortion nationwide as soon as they have the ability to put it through. And since I fully expect the Repos in the Senate to get rid of the filibuster the next time they control the House, Senate and WH, they will ram it through regardless of national support in polls.

Who knew America was so fragile?
The left is now melting down because Abortion is in the hand of the voters ?
We are about to become a theocracy if an assistant coach conducts a voluntary prayer on a public school football field AFTER the game is over.?
Or public money going to private schools can not be denied on religious grounds?
Or the protected right to bear arms is protected?
My, my.

If there were a federal law passed, do you think it would be challenged in court, make its way to SCOTUS and be struck down?  I wonder what kind of armor plating such a law would need.

Agree about the GOP candidates pulling a Kav.  Negative consequences for lying seem very minimal these day.

Go fuck yourself, before this SCOTUS makes it, too, a state-by-state decision.

LOL. Never change. They are doing what you pretend to suggest: voting to ensure political continuation of the right to abortion.

Which  is what the Constitution always endorsed.
It was much easier to hide behind a misguided Court ruling than actually take it to the people.
Now they fear that time has passed.
I suggest you take your lumps. A congressional action either way is unlikely. The states decide, as they did before Roe and now forever more.

For the last 30 years I have been focused on creating jobs in America and helping to keep America wealthy so that people have good housing and plenty of food to eat, etc, I want for Americans to have the good life that a good job and a good income provides. My main focus was the jobs that the USA has been losing to China, and before that we lost our electronics industry to Japan, America used to manufacture radios and televisions and stuff and we made the best stuff in the world, a lot of stuff was even invented here in the USA. And I do not understand guys like Bill Gates, he should have manufactured computers in Indiana instead of in China. And I tried to bring movie jobs to Hollywood and I refused to take jobs to Canada, I want to create jobs in Hollywood. So, that is what I have been focused on. ( Over time I am learning that many of the jobs will not return, and I am hoping that Americans can evolve like the Greeks, to do enterprises on a higher level, and to run the world from America the way that Athens ruled their empire from Athens, they were a democracy and they used their banking system and stuff to rule, we can do the same thing here in the USA, we can have an educated population who can read books in a garden while making money from global investments. Our population can become educated, and wise, and as we become unemployed we can use our idle time to become better educated and to learn how to do global business, etc, like the Greeks. And we also have the arts, etc, and sports, like the Greeks. We need to rise to a higher level, instead of our neighborhoods turning to ghettos as the jobs leave, then we need to evolve to a different level, we need to build libraries and gardens and international banks, etc, and schools where people can become better educated and where they can learn to make money on a higher level than manual labor. )

Meanwhile society has changed, and other issues are emerging. One reason why we are having the shift to a more modest society where abortion is no longer protected as a right is because many people from the Middle East have been moving to America, the population of America is different than how it was in the 1960s and 1970s when people like Hugh Hefner helped to advance sexual freedom, etc, and the people from the Mddle East are more modest. Beverly Hills is now full of Persians, and the Persians are different than the Americans of the 1960s and 1970s.

The people from the Middle East would not allow the Disney movie "Lightyear" to show in Saudi Arabia because of a same sex kiss. People who think like that, with the same modesty, are moving to live in Beverly Hills.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2022/06/13/lightyear-banned-in-uae-over-same-sex-kiss-in-latest-overseas-censorship-of-lgbtq-stories/

We also just had a huge influx of people from Afghanistan, and they are more modest like the Arabs and Persians.

The demographics in America are changing, and we are getting more modest immigrants.

Also, we have more Roman Catholics now as the Latinos are the fastest growing group in America, and they are against abortion.

The changes we are seeing with the Supreme Court are caused in part because of the changes in the demographics in the USA. As our economy was changing, then so too was our demographics.

America can still work, but people need to remember that ALL people are created equal, and that poor homeless guy on the sidewalk has the same human rights as President Biden. And we need for the homeless people to vote in the elections. We need leaders who help our homeless.

And we need to focus on education, so that we can all make money with our computers from home with global investments, etc, etc, etc, and we need to rise like the Greeks.

Salute,

Tony V.

So, you praise the SCOTUS for erasing the legal right to abortion and making it a political issue, but when the people you disagree with mobilize politically, they are melting down and out of touch. You are never not a Comically Transparent Partisan Hack.
