There is not a single person on here saying they wish more women would run out and get abortions.
Or thinking it’s a good thing if some 8 month pregnant woman kills their baby.

But we don’t think it’s our role to strap down some pregnant women and force them to deliver their babies months later so they don’t get an abortion.

God is fully capable of sorting out the disposition of people that get or perform abortions as he sees fit.

So where is the line that it is a human being and murder?

Nobody is strapping anyone down and forcing them to do something. Only saying that murder should be punished.

Do we leave it to God to punish other crimes?

The wording on the ballot was criminally terrible.  It appears to have been written by a 3rd grader that wanted the amendment to fail.  Political sentiment cannot be found in this result.

Like Andrew Breitbart said, "Politics is downstream from culture."

DeSantis is one of the few who really seems to not just get this but is also actively fighting the war on the culture front, between helping essentially defund Disney and their woke propaganda and putting such a big effort on removing the Liberal influence in schools.

The rule of law/man let’s violent, repeat offenders back on the street.  It lets pedophiles back out to molest more children.  It lets people give mental and physical drugs to kids that ruin their lives and often end in suicide.  It does not charge drug dealers with murder and they are back out peddling.  And it lets women get abortions and it lets people perform them.  

Our choice is to let God sort it out in the end or take care of it ourselves.
And dying on the abortion law hill puts more people in to lose life to those other categories.
You are right, I’m only giving a little perspective.
I don’t think you should be out enforcing anti abortion laws.
Which kind of puts me in the camp to let God sort it out.

Some of you also never seem to have met women if you think they won't burn this country down to protect their rights to their body from Bible thumping men.

Most of these women don't want to have an abortion but they will vote to protect their ability to if it's needed.   The no exceptions attitude of many in the GOP makes this even worse.  Women who are pro life even will vote against men who think they should be forced to grow a rapists baby.  It baffles me how some people don't understand how big of a deal that is.

Let’s also be real in the fact that this narrative is being pushed by the same people that a) want to be able to fornicate with no repercussions and b) those who stand to gain financially from group a. To try to justify maintaining or if they’re being honest eliminating the prior restrictions by standing on an example that is a minuscule portion of the number of abortions performed is frankly dishonest and disgusting. By doing so, they have done nothing to advance their cause if we’re being honest and they are pushing away people who were sympathetic to them to a much more hardline position such as myself and my wife. Also, don’t forget that the same people pushing this narrative also believe the woman should not have the right to defend herself from the rapist.

All I'm saying is that I don't think Thomas or the conservatives on the court looked at this as a way to "get a win" for the GOP.  Or that this was an action taken by the national GOP.  I don't think the conservative wing of the court acts as an extension of the GOP.

From what I've read of the decision it seemed like it was correcting a terrible decision that was made on non existent Constitutional grounds and pushing the issue back where it belongs based on a correct reading of the Constitution.

It's simply well established at this point that abortion is not an all or nothing issue to Americans

Access to first trimester under any conditions is overwhelmingly popular.  At a 90 percent rate for women.   Second trimester slightly unpopular .  Third trimester overwhelmingly unpopular outside of medical emergency.

The GOP will lose every moderate state over time until they concede on allowing first trimester abortion access.  It's plain and simple.

Yes you understand.  I vote Republican because I don't think the government should control the economy and I think taxes should be low.  I also vote for them because they half ass try to protect the first and second amendment which I think are the two major things that stand between us and total tyranny.  

They are wrong about most other things .including this.   There are millions of voters who share my values of social freedom as well as economic freedom.  If social conservatism pushes too hard the scale tips to democrats.  You aren't winning a god damn thing outside of a few southern states pushing social conservatives views.

Laws are pretty much entirely based upon religion.
If we are not making laws for moral purposes than what purpose are laws?
That is not the same as legislating religion but our laws are what society agrees is morally right or wrong and those morals are based in religion.

If we aren't making laws because it is what is right then we are making laws that benefit lawmakers.

Did anyone ever consider that they overturned RvsW on purpose?

They had to know that it would sink the conservatives, and there's no better time to do it than right now.

We all celebrated it, and all the while they're laughing at us because it changed nothing at all.

States that want it can still do it, I honestly don't understand why people are so happy about it.

I don't know if it was their motive but technically you might be right.  It might be good for Republicans to learn just how unpopular social conservatism is now and let this recession and inflation continue to hang around the democrats neck. We also have at least a few election cycles with a supreme court that can stop some of the democrats worst aspects. Maybe when the pendulum swings the GOP might be a little more libertarian? One could hope I guess.
