If Kavanaugh gets in and Roe v. Wade is overturned, what do you think that will look like?

Like this.

Yeah, it’s a nasty and shocking picture. That’s what abortion looked like when it was illegal. That’s what’s going to happen again, thousands of times.

Republicans don’t care if women die as long as they are in control. Fuck 'em all.

Note that this 2005 op-ed, completely devoid of any empirical data actually supporting this hypothesized “Roe Effect” on voter demographics, also doesn’t take into account the connections I mentioned between poverty/incarceration and not voting.

And one very effective way to make lots of working-class people poorer and more incarcerated is to make it difficult for them to avoid having more children than they can afford to raise responsibly.

If Kavanaugh had been able to successfully carry out his high school rape, and the girl had become pregnant, I assume that Mister and Missus Kavanaugh would have grudgingly come up with hush money plus the abortion fee in order not to jeopardize the Golden Boy’s acceptance to Yale?

Say what? :confused:

Might want to double spoiler that link Max, just saying, it’s pretty intense.

I think it’s going to be more like illicit pills from China trying to do something just like the picture of Gerri Santoro.

Resistance is what I expect. Even if *Roe *gets the shaft, not all states will fall in line. Networks will be formed. I doubt underground clinics will spring up. If they did, I expect “vigilante” groups to ferret them out. A grim prospect, to be sure.

More likely finding ways for the women who need help to get where they need to go. I got a few buck for that.

Some states would outlaw it.

But let’s place this in context - worldwide, United States inclusive, abortion rates have been falling dramatically. In the United States in particular teen pregnancy rates have continued a long term decline (with highest rates remaining in the South).

Education works.

There would, in states in which it became outlawed, which are likely some of the states that have the highest teen pregnancy rates, be an increase in more dangerous illegal abortions. But odds are the overall decrease in unwanted unplanned pregnancies would not reverse.

There are fewer for whom the removal of this right would directly impact than there used to be. Still quite a few, more who are poor than not.
