id love to answer but im not american so i wouldnt know, but here is hoping someone might come forward to pique your query

That's what I'm hearing everyone say about it.

Over turning Roe V wade will make abortion illegal based on the state you live. Most places are making even abortion from being raped and or incest would not be covered. Roe V Wade is NOT just about abortion rights. that is what is being presented as. Roe V Wade set the presedence for you privacy from the government. Medical privacy, who you are allowed to marry, what you do in the bed room, ect... because of this this opens up for things like making contraception illegal, interacial as well as gay marriage. They are not pro life, but pro birth. once baby is born they don't care about it anymore

this is a pretty accurate description.

there was 4th amend and so on that covers medical privacy. and frankly the abortion part was not granted by privacy. thats how that was twisted in wording. if democrats like nancy cared and not useing it as ammo for politics they would of amended constitution to grant the right. and most states have rules on rape so on and medical emergencies. but the whole useing it as birth control will end.

Also women who have miscarriages could be charged(there have been states to do this ALREADy before it was overturned) . People who have period trackers also have had information pulled from them to use against them in court

I never use those period trackers anyway causes my body is unpredictable when it comes to that.

I believe this is yet another case of powerful people (or people in general) thinking "It is not my problem, hence is not A problem".
I may end up going on a tangent here but long story short: politics don't think because they don't have to.

Kind of makes ya wish these thing do effect them to the point that they have a different tune about it. But then aging they my find a way around it.

Well, if you live in one of the 22 states that has NO exceptions for rape or incest then the pregnancy is on you. This also means that if you live in one of those states you can't be treated for a septic uterus with a fetus in you, if your fetus becomes ectopic you're stuck with it, and if you have a miscarriage then you are stuck with it. The only treatment for those three things is an abortion. If you don't get one then you're dead. Plain and simple as that.
Basically the SCOTUS just gave the individual states to decide whether a woman is a walking incubator, with no autonomy.
Clarence Thomas has already said that the next steps are to overturn the rights to contraception, same-sex marriages, and any privacy in the bedroom.

To put it bluntly the overturning of Roe vs Wade is a death-trap for women.

Don't know the whole context of the question, but forbid abortion after a rape is a great thing for the rapist.
If a women is raped and tell, she may be tracked to ensure she will not abort even with "old" method (mint extract, Knitting needle...) so a lot may not tell in order to be able to abort.
If she can't It would be horrible to feel during 9 month a growing thing that come from a rape.
Even if the resulting lifeform have no responsibility it will not be loved. And dropping to an orphanage the thing, as it have still half of the women genetics she may feel guilty to do so.

If the rapist is know, a simple dna testing will prove the paternity, but do you think a rapist want a lifeform from his rape be back ? The thing will surely receive no love.
In the past when this happen, the thing was feed to pigs, or was drop to orphanage but no matter what happen it's horrible for the women.

If a girl, who is a rape or incest victim, tries to get an abortion, she will get jail time in some states. That is the law as of today. Girls and women are no longer full citizens. They don't have personal autonomy according to the law.

This is why I guess all women need to carry pepper spray, or if it wasn't for the gun control thing going on now, guns cause we need it now but that probably wishful thinking. Maybe a guard dog or SOMTHING for better protection.

More reason to be careful and not take extra risks.

Yeah i was wondering what it means for those that .....got it unwillingly. How would they get around that. Would they get stuck with a kid they never wanted...like how does that work if every state bans going to a state that allows it im confused

Im not mad at you at all btw but this has become a huge deal ....and a very bad thing. I personally believe they need to get their greedy rights stripping hands off every girl... its not fair for any female to be in this situation to begin with... i... im unsure what to say. Its just...not ok to intrude on what people do with their own body.

They going to force us women to take care of a (sorry but I not the only one to think of this word, and I'm brutally blunt) Rape baby! And the rapist will suffer no conscience. Truly life in America.:(

I hate how right you are ..... grrrrrrrr. The lawmakers need to keep their hands off the bodies of the free and let us just... take care of our bodies how we please. Its not fair. ;-;

My issue with the “pro-life” lobby is that they don’t want to pay extra taxes to support the health and education for the extra babies that will be born, they want to have their cake and eat it too!

Then again, that’s common from reactionaries that call themselves “conservatives”, they wish to make America like the 1950s without the free healthcare and university that also existed in that decade.

Aight, so here's my take on it.

The Supreme Court decided to remove the Federal Government from the equation completely.
Their thinking is the abortion issue should never have been up to the Federal Government to decide since it isn't a power granted to them by the Constitution on the topic at hand.

As a result, they kicked it back to the States to decide the laws as they see fit.
( Which is how it's supposed to work. Powers not granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution fall to the States themselves. *10th Amendment* )

IMO, the Supreme Court did the right thing in removing the Feds from the equation. However, at the same time, the States are doing the wrong thing by getting involved in the decision making process at all. Again, this is an issue where the Government ( Federal, State, City, et al ) really shouldn't have any say so in the matter at all. Up or down. It's not their business.

So it's frustrating to see the States go full stupid on this.

The simple fix is for the States to leave the decision to the end user, but still determine if any State level funding can be utilized to help pay for it. ( This would basically fall to what the electorate wants. )

There is a bright side to this debacle.

Unlike the Supreme Court Justices who are appointed for life, the folks in charge at the State level are very much elected positions. Which means if enough folks feel their State leadership is lacking in judgement on this issue, there is now a method to remove them from power come next election . . . .

Believe me, they know this and, like all politicians, they will act in their own best interests should their continued employment become, in any way, questionable. So the best thing that can be done now is to make sure your elected officials know where you stand on the matter. In fact, the more the merrier.

To your question, I would hope the States would have exceptions built in for things like rape, known birth defects and / or life threatening issues that may arise by carrying a child to term.

-Hope- being the key word here, but we all know how stupid / short-sighted our elected leadership can be :|

Canadian Citizen here.

As far as I know, it's completely legal and covered in most Canadian healthcare plans. So Women are given that as a Legal/Medical right.

The shit that goes down in the US just makes my head hurt... Like basic things here are considered completely Alien or some "Leftist Propaganda".

I live in Florida so not sure how it will go here but, now I have to bee on my guard and carry a spray, maybe I should hit the gym. I already got the glare that can scare a person, now I need the mussels to match it.

I think it's a lose-lose situation all around. No one in this entire thing bothered to dwell into the depths of the what if's and wanted an abesolute solution. nothing in life is abesolute and anyone who thinks so is a fool.

It shouldn't have been overturned.

its a vocal minority making everything worse for the overwhelming majority.

Hand picked judges from a list made by a think tank composed of ultra conservative arch catholics with an agenda that is half religious paradise (but only for good pure blooded christians of some mythical church where they all agree on everything, ie the catholic church, but of course similarly reformed and purified) and half get out the vote turned real. This is what happens, 2 supreme court justices get in despite the appointment vacancy ocurring on the other president's term, and now they are tearing apart every gain made by liberals since the culture war started in the 60s. Old people from an old religion fighting an old war.

I love your quickdraw shorts on youtube!

Thank you

I don't care what you think but I still respect you as an artist.

i'm not mad at you or anyone else. you hava good way about asking.

Where I live in the US, unfortunately rape victims cannot receive abortions as of the overturn.

which is horrific and shameful.

More reason why women have to arm themselves now.

Indeed.... my home territory is turning into a deranged hellscape..

its awful full it would be a mentally traumatic reminder that as a woman ur taking care of the perps baby that you never asked for and extreme amounts of depression and suicide rates will go up and also the child abandonment and orphanage will skyrocket leaving more parentless kids

Just the first step in a death-march towards the religious rights' ideal situation where no matter the situation, women are punished for having sex out of marriage whether they want the resulting pregnancy or not and if they attempt to stop the pregnancy by miscarriage or abortion then they get charged with murder. Women who aren't lucky enough to have someone to support them financially while they raise the child will be left with very bleak choices indeed, try to abort it or cause miscarriage and hope nobody is keeping track of them, abandon the baby as soon as it's born and hope to get away with it (unlikely), put the kid up for adoption if they're lucky (dealing with a lifetime of abandonment issues and depression), and finally accept the 20+ years of debt and inability to get back into the work force to earn a living.

Nope.
A lot of states already hav exceptions in case of rape.
Even in states that do not have thos exceptions, the general pro-life mentality is 'The woman is never at fault. We just do not wan to kill an innocent child over the sins of the father.' Crisis pregnancy centres and unaffiliated pro-lifers will be ready to take care of bo the woman and the baby, even willingly adop the baby themselves. (Do note, however, tha there are cases of victims of rape willingly keeping the baby. There are also cases of women regretting their abortions even if they were a response to rape... especially since many women are pressured into doing abortions.)


Moreover, Roe vs Wade was not only a cause of legislation by the Supreme Court (Congress legislates; the Supreme Court interprets) but also was obtained via trickery: Roe's judge pressured Roe into claiming rape when that was not he case. Roe vs Wade was repeale due to being bad law no matter wha the law does.
