I'm honestly amazed that nobody has tried the "most chocolate is harvested in West Africa => Halloween Candy Could Give You Ebola" angle yet. I really would have thought Fox would've gone there by now.

Sorry but the government is incapable of doing anything better than the private sector. I like it when the private sector proves to be just as lovely as conservatives think the gov't is but I wish it wasn't loving space flight!

Yo R. Mute did you ever see that HBO movie about Clay v. United States with Frank Langella and Christopher Plummer? It's just okay but if you're watching old Ali fights you might as well watch the one where he never throws a punch.

This whole ALEC strategy of massive restrictions based on woman's health concern trolling has been, iirc, 100% struck down in every court ruling it's faced. SCOTUS isn't going to touch RvW so I'm not terribly concerned. Liberals can be just as hysterical over perceived outcomes as the pearl clutchingest church lady. Relax yall.

No, that strategy has actually been wildly effective in states like Texas, Mississippi, the Dakotas, and Arkansas. EDIT: Last I heard Mississippi, North and South Dakota, and Arkansas all had only a single abortion clinic for each state because of multiple restrictions placed on them all culminating in a blanket ban in all but name.

The Mississippi statute has been struck down I know for sure and a lower court already overturned the Texas law. I mean it's not great that there is this temporary interruption of services but it's not going to lead to half a century of back alley abortions.

None yet (though don't be surprised if the location restrictions end up being what happens), but it seems like once every ten years or so SCOTUS whittles down abortion rights a little further.

My Imaginary GF posted:tbf to the current SCOTUS, the original Roe v. Wade was a bit of an overreach for its time that has resulted in an end to moderation on the issue. The original Roe v. Wade is a canard, though, Casey is the analytical standard-bearer. Justice Ginsburg has a similar point of view about immediate action causing backlash versus entrenching consensus over time, but I've always been more of the school of "if it's a right, it's a right and delaying access is unconscionable for those who need it now," which I think is particularly pertinent in abortion since it's about the right to defuse a ticking womb-bomb. Reasonable people may disagree, like on every issue but that loving casserole abomination that Chicago tries to pass off as pizza.

My Imaginary GF posted:tbf to the current SCOTUS, the original Roe v. Wade was a bit of an overreach for its time that has resulted in an end to moderation on the issue. Huh. I'd rather the SCOTUS have handled gay marriage the way they handled abortion. Rights shouldn't get to be put up to votes. Also, I've never understood when people say "Oh, the SCOTUS would never take a case on abortion/gay marriage/[insert hot button issue here]". Their whole drat job is to take cases like those, and it's not like previous rulings have never been overturned either in part or in whole. There's nothing magical about Roe v Wade that protects it from further cases.

"Well you can have an abortion now" is cold comfort to the countless women who were saddled with unwanted children in the meanwhile.

Abortion is bad and something that should not happen. History shows, however, that abortions are something that happens even with the strictest of prohibitions. Therefore the state should pragmatically allow regulated (as in according to medicine's lege artis) abortions while at the same time utilize social policy to minimize the root causes for abortions, maximize the available alternatives and incentizie the rearing of children.
