Not sure the way of the Jacobins is right, but it sure feels right.

I dunno if the rest of it works but I'd like to see the perp walk you describe.

Doubled edged sword.We've lost some good people under those rules in state courts but in places like NY/MI etc. it's also enabled us to wave bye bye to bad folks as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did, but the justices just ignored them

They're uh... not that fun, no.

Lemme say this as a doctor: All this bouncy-bounce on laws being active then not active then maybe active again or not results in one thing - doctors stop.

No one can practice when the law on Monday is different than on Tuesady and there might be a stay on Wednesday but that is reversed on Thursday after you already inserted the speculum.

In the short-term, doctors stop doing even the now-permitted abortions because they fear being swept up in the legal maelstrom.

In the long-term, they stop practicing in the state.

South Carolina is going have to take a stance with finality - not just with a stay that someone else mighty undo - unless they want to lose the doctors they need pretty damn soon.

Note that the state's argument is basically that suspected criminals have a greater right to privacy while being investigated for breaking the law, than a pregnant person has over their own uterus. 🀬

No one should be forced to keep a pregnancy, ever.

It's just a fantasy. If Gentleman Jack comes for any of them, it'll be after hours at their houses.

Yes, well I don't like this way they count the fetus as a victim in a murder or shooting of its mother. I don't know if it's so in just some states or what but it's no good. Sad to contemplate this dead mother's feelings but of course she's gone.

*A 6week embryo. You don't get the fetus label until about 3 months along.
