All the anti-trans allies of women sure lost interest in protecting womens rights, the minute their actual rights have been infringed. I wish I could have seen this coming...

all it does is put the responsibility back on each individual state. The largest populations are all democrat states and they will all allow abortion as before. Its a backward step for those living in republican states, but they largely support the supreme court ruling anyway

This is a massive misconception to be honest; it's like saying the whole UK supports Tory policies because our election outcomes keep coming up Tory. The MOST republican state is only 65% red, and most red states are much closer to 50% than that. It would be much simpler if people were indeed clustered in the states that matched their own politics and beliefs... in reality, at least 1/3 of even the reddest states are not Republicans.

But we have all seen the weird bible bashing states on the TV. The people that live there know what it's all about and what its like to live there. There will be nothing shocking to them in this ruling, to suggest otherwise is intentionally misleading

Well yes but that's like saying it's not shocking when Tories let school children go hungry so that they can give their London pals another tax cut. It's not shocking at all but it's still absolutely appalling. If anything it's worse that it isn't shocking.

They’ll be happy again when scotus goes after the same-sex intimacy and marriage rulings like Clarence Thomas wants to do, don’t worry

Criminalisation for abortion is up next. Gays have got a good full year before they're up. Absolutely pitiful culture warriors.

I personally wouldn't say there's any particular link between what some would brand "TERF feminism" and being in support of anti-abortion laws, to be fair... quite the opposite really; most people I've seen in TERFy circles are rightly horrified by this news. It's bad news for everyone and should be seen as such. Of course there will always be those who will jump on a political bandwagon as a means to their own ends.
