    I'm interested on reading on how almost 700K dead future humans in a year is not a tragedy but a statistic.
    I would also add that starting with this hyperbolic type language basically shuts down a discussion before starting. It makes mother nature are real monster if you equate a blastocyst and an embryo to an "innocent child."

      We removed in one year almost 700K future members of our society because they were inconvenient, unwanted or defective.

      Please explain on how this is acceptable behaviour?
      Because in a country of 300,000,000, lots of crazy stuff happens, and neither you nor the Catholic Church gets to decide what everyone else should be forced to do.

      And there's the whole problem of where you stop your argument. For every abortion, there are probably hundreds of pregnancies prevented by birth control. Are those millions of missing kids as well?

      How about natural miscarriages? Do those need to be tracked, and each one given a funeral? (Mike Pence to the red courtesy phone).

      The church's position is abstinence only. That seems to be preventing a decent amount of future members of society, too. So why are you only concerned about abortions?

        Explain to me how the GOP doesn't give a flying eff about any one of them once they leave the womb and we can start the conversation.

          God is the universe's most prolific abortionist.

          Also, "Blastocyst" is a good name for a band.

          Edit: Yup.

                Yes. He just needs to replace Scalia and turn over one seat.

                  No. He would need to amend the Constitution or get the SCOTUS to overturn their prior ruling(s). There is no way that he has the political collateral or will to take on either of those options.

                    He will likely get 2-3 SCOTUS nominations, and he said he would nominate judges he considered to be likely to overturn Roe v Wade.

                    Why do you think he won't follow through?

                      He won't follow through on his own volition, since Roe has undoubtedly saved him from a few bastard kids. Pence will tell him what to do, and then he'll do it. So, goodbye SCOTUS.

                      As for Roe, we'll see.

                        What the heck would make you think they would even seek this out?! Is this just another one of the feminazi scare tactics by the mainstream media to scare you into voting for the globalist?

                          No.






                          SCOTUS only rules on cases brought before it. Before they'd have a chance to rule on an abortion case, there'd have to be a case in the first place. Since Roe v Wade is now the law of the land, what kind of case could there be that would wind up on their docket?

                            Add to that, as unofan mentioned in another thread, so many challenges to the law in regards to "reasonable" restrictions/access have been heard recently. Barring any unforeseen health issues, the Chief Justice isn't going anywhere, and I'm willing to bet he'd just not accept those cases, leaving them to stand on prior SCOTUS rulings.

                              That's easy, the next case involving state restrictions that gets appealed to it once the conservative wing thinks it had a shot of winning. They can throw some dicta in about Roe being ripe for review in light of new legal and medical developments, and invite a state to pass a law banning abortion to work its way to the court. There's only about 20 or so that would be eager to do so. Some might even have laws on the books still, and it would just be a matter of the state restarting enforcement of them.

                              That won't happen until they get someone new to replace Kennedy, RBG, or Breyer, though, because as it stands, they know Kennedy will side with the liberal wing on anything going too far.

                              And there's no guarantees that the new justices, or even Roberts, would be up for an outright overturn. But procedurally, it's easy to do.

                              In other words, the left really needs to hope those three justice's health holds out (at least) four more years.
