Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday called for overturning the constitutional rights the court had affirmed for access to contraceptives and LGBTQ rights in an opinion concurring with the majority to decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In his separate opinion, Thomas acknowledged that Friday’s decision does not directly affect any rights besides abortion. But he argued that the constitution’s Due Process Clause does not secure a right to an abortion or any other substantive rights, and he urged the court to apply that reasoning to other landmark cases.
“For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous, we have a duty to correct the error established in those precedents,” Thomas wrote. “After overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated.”
That's a good analogy. There won't be any middle ground. Either the 'caught' results will right the ship or they will rip the head right off of the body.

The overturning of Roe vs Wade is horrific. It is a VERY DARK day for women. People who care about reproductive rights should protest this horrific insanity (which they are). People are protesting this. In New York City, people are protesting in full force. FIGHT THE POWER, WE GOT TO FIGHT THE POWER THAT BE.

The Reversal of Roe v. Wade
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, should women who get illegal abortions be subject to the death penalty? Doesn't it follow that overturning Roe v. Wade would confirm that abortion is murder and that a woman who gets an abortion is a murderer? Therefore, the death penalty would apply.
