    Sorry, do you actually think conservative politicians legitimately care about abortions? A few conservative looneys might be true believers but this is just an issue they kick around for political points.

      It’s genuinely about giving the ruling class wage slaves in the future. They hated seeing the plummeting birth rates. That’s always been the reason. These politician’s owners and donors have no need for petty ethics or morals (of any kind). There is always a material, political, class reason for these decisions

      Why wouldn’t they just keep pretending to give a shit instead of actually stacking the court and putting a manufactured case up? They did the thing. They caught the car. Now they’re dealing with the fallout.

        Stacking the supreme court has benefits far beyond any single issue.

          But it also gave the game away. There’s more scrutiny than ever on the court, and Republicans have gotten thrashed in elections for a few years now.

          • All it takes is one bad election before we’re in a fascist theocracy. They don’t care if they’ve given the game away because they’ve changed the rules so they actually have a good chance at winning.

            Thinking that the GOP is on its way out is a very dangerous way to view things.

      They absolutely do. Our birth rate has been in a steady decline since 2007, and is well below the 1960s. Racists are terrified of losing to “the great replacement,” but the wealthy still need low wage workers. Unwanted American children are the unhinged solution to both.

        No it fucking isn’t. Even by their own fucked up logic, even if it was to work as their dream scenario of forcing all women to carry to term the people that will end up having more children will still be the minorities.

    As the late great bill hicks pointed out, I am proud to be not only pro choice, but actually pro abortion.

    No it didn’t. Young girls and boys are forced into parenthood, which prevents them from getting educated. When they have trouble navigating this world with little education and a child to care for, the church is there waiting to blame their problems on lack of church.
