Not A Drownded Kitten - Roe V Wade

[Peter Pedant]

Good morning reader
take your mind off drownded cats and other important things
and think of fripperies typical of AB

to wit the appeal of Roe vs Wade in the supreme court of the US
It has been leaked for the first time in 200y
which has got all the clerks running around helter skelter with wigs askew

and....

the text is here

read ( those ABers that can! - ter daah) and enjoy

It's on all the news outlets. Here's an explanation of what it means. Definitely another step back in the US...both for women's rights and democracy...which is disappearing quickly there.

Don't be nasty about us lesser mortals (I am just up and I am not a 'morning' person so not in a good mood).

Is this a new word "drowned " ??

[Ellipsis]

What's the question ...

Supreme Court leakage?
Roe vs Wade reversal?

I suspect it has been leaked in order to give the opportunity to reflect/review/revise in light of reaction before final publication.

If it goes through as-is, I can't see it being good for the Republicans' chances of gaining/regaining power at all political levels in the US.

[pastafreak]

It's predicted that 26 states will ban abortion. I honestly don't think this would affect Republicans all that much. Time will tell.

I don't see putting the genie back in the bottle going that well. Not all Republicans are weighed down by religious dogma ... some even have abortions.

Prosperous people will travel from states which don't allow it to states that do. The poor will resort to back street abortions and the risks they present.
The President should load the Supreme Court with a majority of younger liberal judges and strangle this proposal at birth.

[pastafreak]

Unfortunately the post is lifetime...unless they retire or are removed.

Ah, modern democracy in action!

On a level with the 'modern democracy' that allows a bunch of complete strangers (men in the majority of course) to tell any woman whose circumstances they know nothing of, and care less, how she is to proceed with her own body, and make decisions for her that affect the rest of her life.

[Ellipsis]

The Supreme Court post is for life, but the posts of the people that use the Supreme Court judgment to make abortion illegal in their states are not lifetime. Those people can be voted out and replaced with people who will reverse those laws.

Supreme Court here is 75 ( age)
and yes their Lordships insist that the days that they can still do good are not over at 75

Drownded is from Albert and the Lion ( you really knew this innit) - no body drownded nothing to laught at , at all

we - in dear old blighty- dont have this idea that the law is immutable - the Constitution as is should never be changed ( 1789 for chrissakes)
whereas other see it is as changing with the times

House of Lords 1973 said it could over rule itself but I havent seen anything as spectac as this !

thank you for your thoughts boys and girls
