I genuinely don't grasp the point of a week limit period. If you think abortion is murder then it isn't like you're going to be placated by "just a bit murder" and if not then abortion should be legal as long as it is medically necessary, not some arbitrary week count. Who does it make happy?

Because we as a country for so long treated capitulation with the GOP as "compromise", that now they think "women having no biological rights at arbitrary period we control" is a compromise

In their minds, they will be in power forever, and "they could just ban all of it, instead of letting you have any, you ungrateful cows!"

It's the problem of letting a party of old white mysoginists determine what is "fair" for the biological rights of women. It's also because many of them are fanatical lunatics to an extremely skewed and warped version of Christianity that reinforces white male supremacy, and they are all the Big Man down here enforcing the Big Sky Daddy's will.

naw, you love it you little ho-bot :roboluv:

A 6 week limit effectively bans all abortions, as most women won’t even know they’re pregnant by then or at least it will be too late to do anything about it in time. But they can also say “Oh no, we haven’t banned abortion at all, there’s a very reasonable six week limit, we’re not monsters you know.”

The only consistent explanation I can sort of understand is IF you think abortion is murder, but you DON'T think that a fertilized egg or zygote is a "human" then you oppose abortion after fetal viability.

Except that's closer to 25 weeks. So ya, it's just hypocritical pandering by a party that finally caught the car and can't find a way off.

It sounds superficially reasonable (by implying that late term abortions are common and used as birth control) and lets them get their foot in the door.

A total ban was always the goal. At most they might occasionally permit it to save the mother’s life — but I think that they have left that behind now.

Honestly I think the GOP realizes they accidentally let the nutcases on the plane with explosive vests, and now they’re trying to placate them by offering to let them blow up just the cargo bay. It won’t do poo poo for anyone but they’re desperate to keep the crazies from indiscriminately harming everyone, GOP included.

With how dumb your average anti-choice woman-hating bigot is, it might actually have a chance at working on all but the most insane and hate-filled freaks.

The endgame is binary, either abortion is outlawed or it isn't. But the GOP knows that one end of the spectrum is political suicide so they keep trying to find some way to placate both crowds and just angering everyone.

I truly believe the pro-life crowd won't be appeased until raped women experiencing health complications are told to go down with the ship.

I'm behind, but since I haven't heard of dump being in jail I'll post. There is no way in which trump wouldn't end up in jail from contempt in any court as a normal person. If his bullshit is allowed in criminal court then I absolutely will act like the hugest piece of poo poo the next time I got a misdemeanor and cite the case as to why I can do any unhinged poo poo I want while in court. gently caress... I really want to see him go to jail for running his mouth and, obviously he will, I hope the judge hits him for it.

Well I mean not to doomer up the thread but there's also the liability that he'll be convicted and get :decorum: probation for being an active prez nominee of a major party.

Then there's also the possibility that the Supreme Court in July is going to 5-4 rule that the DOJ overreached on their interpretation of "otherwise" and gently caress up the whole GA trial, so there's a lot riding on this case instead.

Honestly, it feels like it's going fast.

Also, twelve jurors, six alternates who will have to be there the whole time as well but won't vote unless one of the twelve has to be dismissed. This is a near guarantee during this trial.

I wish I could remember my family's original last name. They moved to the States long, long ago from what was then Czechoslovakia. After moving here, they decided to shorten their surname to be more palatable for Americans. It basically went from something like "Janimekzewski" to "Janim" or whatever (that is nowhere near my name but you get the point).

-wski is a common ending in Poland and maybe parts of Lithuania, but not in Czech or Slovakian. It would be more Janáček or Jánošík

This whole system you have of trying to puzzle out some theoretical perfectly neutral jury seems weird to me.

Here in the UK, you gather at the court till you're selected at random to hear a trial.

The judge gives brief details of the case and asks if you happen to know anyone involved or have some personal connection with the case.

Failing that you're good to go.

It's also way harder to be excused from jury service in the first place as well. You can get one deferment without too much trouble, but apart from that you need a really good reason.
