On May 1, 2026, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FDA must reinstate in-person pickup requirements for mifepristone, effectively ending telehealth prescriptions and mail delivery of the abortion pill—a ruling that could affect roughly a quarter of all U.S. abortions. The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily paused the ruling until May 11. This article provides the legal context, from Roe to Dobbs, for understanding what’s at stake.
parents of minors disagree. kids are dumb and some need direction/help when they don't want it. i do not want the state overruling my decisions for my kids. 18 is when they get autonomy.
someone in history decided 18 is an adult... which i accept but in reality 18 year olds are still dumb. probably should be 21 or 23. but because of war that number isn't going anywhere - but i think anyone who has survived to 30 knows 199 year olds are adults only legally.
My grandmother told me about how she nearly died from a back alley abortion, done with a bar spoon. She had her first kid at 17, so this was much earlier. She warned me not to take my rights for granted.
I'm so sick of men that don't even know the difference between vulvas and vaginas making laws about my body. Men who think menstruation is like peeing. Men who think the body shuts down fertility when being raped. Men who think it's fine for a 10 year old to birth their rapist's baby and have to have to coparent with their rapist.
Some garage chemist needs to whip up a bathtub full of this stuff and sell it in gas stations as “Babe-bee-gone” bath salts (not for human consumption)
>You don't think a proposed Privacy Amendment would be popular?
You mean that a broad concept like "privacy" is popular when no baggage is attached to it? What an exciting discovery!
I guess that means that getting 2/3rds of the House AND the Senate AND getting 3/4s of the states to ratify is no big deal then!
>And yes, Democrats are fucking incompetent.
I'm afraid that there is no ONE WEIRD TRICK that the Dems can use to win elections - particularly when facing an electorate that made Donald Trump president twice.
You may as well be demanding that Democrats mind control Republicans into doing what they want, or clone themselves into getting electoral majorities, hahaha!
I've been saying this was the goal since 2016. They wrote that shit out in the "mandate for leadership", which was the original Project2025.
No one in the real news covered it when it was leaked.
They literally have secret meetings, invite only. They don't know when or where until that slip of paper comes. They don't know who will be there. It's been going since the 1970s and I promise you it will get so much worse if we don't do something.
Vote. It won't be a free and fair election; it won't even be good people on the ballot. But if you value your freedom and rights at all, you need to vote.
Cheating on your wife is wrong, but it isn't illegal. Moral questions are not for the government to decide. Abortion, like all ethically complex medical decisions, should be determined by a combination of the doctors, the patient, and the hospital's medical ethicists. Injecting a politician into that discussion is not going to help.
Similarly, doctors sometimes seperate conjoined twins, killing one in the process. That's not an unborn human, that's a fully living and breathing baby. But there are no laws regulating that, because we understand that it's a question for the patient, their family, the doctors, and the medical ethicists. Not politicians. If we don't need politicians controlling when doctors can make the complex medical decision to end the life of a full baby, we certainly don't need politicians deciding about unborn fetuses.
"Moral questions are not for the government to decide.“ is this true for all things?
I don't see any questionabke ethics around the killing of unborn humans. It's pretty straight forward. It's justifiable in the very rare cases where a mother's lifev if in danger. But in every other situation it's the killing of a human life with no justifiable reason.

18 is a very modern age. You'd be considered and adult much ealier historically, 14-16. Corralte that with lower life expectations.

Kids are dumb, but a person's body is their body. If a 17 year old wants an abortion, their parents should have absolutely zero right to prevent that.

Good point, I should clarify “adult person “

Imagine if Democrats were to push a constitutional amendment enshrining the implied "right to privacy" that RvW was supposedly based on.
They might actually win elections that way. So they won't even consider it.

Hahahaha yeah, how difficult is it to create a constitutional amendment? You need to just, like, push a button or something right?
Anyway, all of our problems are liberals' fault.

Voting prevents unwanted presidencies.

Then don't kill unborn humans. You can worry about the contents of your uterus and I'll worry about the contents of mine. :)
