    So I spoke with an old regular of my local leftist bar (was a supporter of Allende and fled the country after his family got into the crosshairs) and he told me that in his eyes the decision could be more far reaching as it would basically enable force and medical procedures be used against others more openly and with broader support of the US populace (which is torture friendly anyhow, but now could even torture more freely since the judicative will greenlight it more easy).

    Besides that I think that if they make abortions and helping people have them illegal it means you can more easy sentence people to slavery (via the 13th amendment of the US), especially with how the system works and that if you miss your trial cause you fuck up the timing you can be put into debt servitude for years with easy threat of prison.

      Show me the person that could be in a jail workhouse right now, but isn't. We're literally busting at the seems on the Texas border. So much so they we're bussing people to DC, because we don't have the manpower to run the prisons anymore.

      This shit was true 40 years ago when the Drug War went into overdrive, but now we simply don't have the capacity to do a mass incarceration state anymore.
