    holy shit roe is dead. I rly thought they'd keep it as a base motivator but those madmen actually fucking did it. Guys this is possibly gonna sound lib but I think we crossed the rubicon

      I always thought it was to avoid liberal backlash, the anti-abortion freaks will still be motivated to try and make it illegal in all 50 states

      The people with actual power (the politicians, media personalities and/or the wealthy) may just be against abortion to motivate the base, but a lot of the rank and file (who may have integrated themselves into the power apparatus to varying degrees), along with some people in the first group I mentioned, genuinely want abortion to be banned.

      Didn't Biden repeatedly say that "roe v Wade went too far" a bunch of times? I'm pretty sure him and all his fellow Catholics are celebrating this one

        ur absolutely right. He even voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that would've let states overturn roe if they wanted to. Tho he has spoken out against this ruling and has "vowed to defend roe", in light of his background it makes it hard to believe he would be willing to go to any great lengths to actually protect it

          Try telling libs that. They always hit you with the "it's almost like he changed his mind with new evidence" smarmy shit

          Meanwhile I'm over here like "I support people who were never terrible... Ever. Why is that never a viable option?

          Plus, he only changes his mind when it becomes politically expedient.

        He did? Because one of the reasons libs and "leftists" wanted to vote for him was because of Roe v Wade only.

      It's dead in red states, half of whom already don't have any abortion clinics. Most Dem-run states have already passed laws protecting abortion rights even if Roe is actually overturned.
