The US Supreme Court has overruled the 50 year old law giving women a choice on abortion. The Taliban would be proud of them.

[Doctor Gollum]

In 1981, then-Senator Joe Biden voted for a constitutional amendment allowing states to overturn Roe v. Wade, which he voted against the following year.[313] In a 2007 memoir, Biden expressed an opinion that although he was "personally opposed to abortion" he did not have the "right to impose" his personal opposition onto others.[314] In 2021, he described himself to reporters as "a strong supporter of Roe v. Wade", and added, "And I under- — I respect people who think that — who don't support Roe v. Wade; I respect their views. I respect them — they — those who believe life begins at the moment of conception and all. I respect that. Don't agree, but I respect that. I'm not going to impose that on people."[315]

Yes......and?

Biden doesn't believe in abortion but wouldn't impose his beliefs on other people. Whereas, the Taliban Republicans would.

Be interesting to see if the Barry publically takes the same line as his wife...

After all, he IS the puppet master. So the decision to overturn it will have been his.

I'm not really interested in which politician takes which line. It's a done deal and it only remains to be seen whether the states which now offer abortion services will be allowed to continue. If so, poor women will be disadvantaged because they won't be able to afford to travel hundreds/thousands of miles. If not, see my first post.

It's a backwards step on several levels. Even Texas, which is strongly anti abortion as a State, protects women from legal proceedings in the event of unwanted pregnancy through rape or incest.

Blimey there will be much wailing and knashing of teeth about this over the pond!

Eh? You think that this is Barak Obama's doing? 

How so when this is a decision of the Supreme Court which now has a six to three conservative majority thanks to Trumpy.

He likes to appear clever, Ron, but mostly fails.

Thought Sippy Cup had stuffed a couple more 'appropriate' judges in there...

Nope. Someone has to die or retire for a new Supreme Court Judge to be appointed.

There was talk of the Dems changing the rules so that they could 'pack the court', but that would probably have required legislation or possibly even an amendment of the constitution. 

Either way, it would have been massively controversial and I think we'd have heard about it.
