Abortion Ballot Measures Aren't Safe From the Courts
Abortion Ballot Measures Aren't Safe From the Courts
Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.
There is exactly one path to solving this problem, and it's going to take a lot of luck.

Vote Blue no matter who, even if you have to hold your nose while doing it. Yes, there are numerous problems with Biden, but there are exactly zero situations where Trump would be a better option. It sucks having to choose between the lesser of two evils, but better to choose the lesser evil than have the greater evil forced upon you.
-
Hope that both Thomas and Alito either retire (hahahahahahah, never gonna happen, I know) or die during Biden's term, giving the SC a 5-4 liberal majority.
-
Push through a Supreme Court challenge against some of these draconian anti-abortion laws and have women's reproductive rights restored to at least what we had with Roe v. Wade, if not more.
-
Enshrine abortion rights into law. A constitutional amendment would be best, but there's zero chance of that happening, but laws should be put into place ensuring that what happened two years ago doesn't happen again.
You’re forgetting:
- pack the court
And I am furious that Biden refused to do so when it was politically viable a couple years ago because “it would be divisive” -_-
It was never viable, you're forgetting manchin & sinema in the Senate, where they confirm judges.
The president does not have authority to just add more judges. The size of the court is set by federal law and requires an act of Congress to change it.
that is all people do and have done
why the two party system is able to exist
people blindly believe we have to live constrained to what these two parties are bought to sell us indefinitely
people blindly believe we have to live constrained to what these two parties are bought to sell us indefinitely
Because like it or not, we do. At least for the time being. There are no viable third parties. I know it sucks to hear, but it's the reality of the world we live in. Don't get me wrong. You're free to vote third party for whatever reasons you see fit, or no reason at all. But if you do, just don't complain when you're watching the inauguration of President Trump on January 20th.

so democrats never had the chance in almost the half of a century since roe v wade happened to do anything?
biden was a democrat politician during this time did he ever say anything then?
he has been on record saying he fully believes in Catholicism including being prolife and somehow that does not play into the current situation?
Congress repeatedly and unsuccessfully attempted to codify abortion rights. The only period where Democrats had full control of Congress, they were forced to choose between abortion rights and the ACA. Since abortion rights were protected by SCOTUS precedent, and millions of Americans were without healthcare, they chose the ACA.

This illustrates the importance of congressional elections. If more than 45% of Democrats voted in all elections, there would be a real chance for change. Make note of your election dates and vote.
You forgot to switch to your alt account since you're spamming all over this thread.
an antiabortion, coat hanger loving catholic is was voted in with a prosecutor
someone who has said he is dedicated catholic
then women lose rights but somehow it is only the republican's fault
maybe we need to quit voting in old conservative religious white guys period no matter the party
did people really think a Catholic was going to defend women's right's?
Are you seriously trying to blame Biden for the conservative Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and all the resulting state-level bans in GOP states?
no
blaming both parties
Plenty of Catholics are pro-choice. Massachusetts comes to mind.
This is entirely on one party.
