Roe v. Wade is gone. An anachronism now void of any effect.
And the decision was absolutely the draft you saw, including Clarence Thomas' assertion that all forms of pairing "substantive due process precedents" are on the table.
Something needs to be blown up tonight. Someone has to come out publicly and make it clear that this isn't going to stand anymore.
Don't bother with the Federal codification -- it would be nullified in 15 minutes by this Court.
I am of any number of thoughts after a week with three of the most damning decisions against human rights in any week in the history of the Court.
The first is the concept of Freedom From Religion. I always had a statement in mind that you can't have both Freedom Of and Freedom From.
I think it is now clear that Freedom From Religion is going to be outlawed -- if indirectly, but outlawed.
Consider: What if an Originalist Conservative Court actually concluded that the First Amendment only concluded that one religion could not be made a state religion and that one religion could not be preferred over another?
That there was no true "separation of church and state" (one Republican has already said publicly: "We are the Church and we run the State.") that the Founders intended (remembering that even the Inalienable Rights were seen as a function of a Creator/God), nor that there was any freedom NOT to practice a religion, especially given the evangelicals' practice of religion of "Go ye into all the world and ram the Gospel down everybody's throat!"
That (and the fact that the country believes that defective Black Welfare Baby-Mamas are replacing all the good White "stock" in this country (both the baby-machine women and the Only Protected Class In This Country -- the White MAN!)) is the basis of the victory today.
But it's far worse than this.
This Court has just spit into the face of all precedent. That, if it is "urgent enough", any precedent the Court has previously set and seen as "egregiously wrong" now can go.
Clarence Thomas, in his concurrence, has already put everything at least up to Griswold (the right to privacy, on which basis decisions like Roe, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell are based) on the chopping block. (Some noted he omitted Loving v. Virginia with his terrorist White wife, but I don't think he cares what happens to that marriage -- if he doesn't just Sammy Sosa himself first.)
Consider the following situations:
- How many White people in this country would much rather have the schools resegregated -- "in the name of safety"?
- At what point does not only transgenderism be made illegal, but -- with Biden's attempt to expand Title IX -- so does Title IX? Now they get their wish of the eradication of women's sports AND get to put it at the feet of what they said earlier?
- At what point does the state have a compelling interest to actively force a female (of whatever given age) to have sex with a Man of "Preferred Stock"?
