What is the process to get the court to recognize the protections in the 14th amendment? Does somebody have to sue for the right in one of the restricted states?
I mentioned the other day that the 14th amendment kinda ends their "birth begins at conception" talking points.
Yes. So I'm not sure how this can even be happening. It's spelled out right there in the constitution. People who have been born are afforded rights. Not before. Besides. There is a jar with a fertilized egg on the left, and a newborn baby named Billy in a basket on the right. Both hanging by rope over a cliff. You are between them, 50 yards away. Both ropes will be cut in 10 seconds. Now the question. What kind of ice cream will you buy Billy on his birthday? Because everyone knows which one we'd all save. Because they aren't the same.
'He came to my barracks, pinned me down, and raped me': Female veterans detail the horrific sexual assaults they faced at the hands of their 'brothers in arms' in the military as part of TikTok trend to raise support for Roe v. Wade As part of a new, popular TikTok trend, numerous former soldiers have shared stories of the abuse that they suffered while fighting for their country Multiple women have spoken out about their choice to get abortions after being sexually assaulted in the military - in the wake of the Roe versus Wade ruling One veteran said she was roofied and sexually assaulted by three services members, and was branded a 'baby killer' after ending the pregnancy Another claimed she was raped by her supervisor, and was 'bullied by fellow soldiers' and 'retaliated against' by her superiors after she reported it A third alleged that she was 'pinned down' and forced to have sex with a fellow soldier while at her first duty station According to a 2018 study, women make up only 16.5 per cent of the armed services - and nearly one in four report experiencing sexual assault Per a 2021 report, 6,200 sexual-assaults were reported in the military in 2020, and only 50 - about 0.8 per cent - ended in convictions https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/...ories-sexually-assaulted-serving-roofied.html
Yep. Although I know for a fact that if you were ask that of people who are pro-life, they'd go radio silent on you.
Stop trying to find a legal or constitutional justification for Alito's ruling. Let alone an explanation rooted in justice or morality or compassion. The four men and the handmaiden want women punished. They are against legal abortion because men should control and rule over women. They consider rape the woman's fault. Two men who lost popular vote and a man who rewrote rules so only Republicans can appoint justices made it possible to turn their very unpopular views into law. That's all.
Reading a book on an unrelated topic. Describes when Nazis occupied Poland they killed off Polish intelligentsia. One of the first to go, a writer who was among the first prominent Poles to advocate legalizing abortion.
An embryo is alive. It is a live cell. Not a multicellular baby with specialized functions. Important to keep terminology correct.
