Abortion has been on the ballot in seven states since June 2022. In each instance, anti-abortion groups have lost.

They didn't overturn abortion, they overturned a right to privacy. Much more scary when you think of it like that

Are you claiming that they overturned the 4th amendment?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 61 points 1 year ago

The 4th amendment has been effectively dead for a long time. I think the war on drugs killed it.

Not for all of us. I still refuse to answer any question on the census except how many people live there and I don't help process servers.

[-] blurredbadger@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Fair, but to say this is what did it is a bit dramatic. Ideally, the court shouldn't be deciding these issues anyway and legislators should actually be doing their job.

Lol, 4th amendment strawman backfired huh

[-] blurredbadger@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Questioning a direct claim is a strawman argument now?

[-] pozbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Are you questioning my direct claim rn?

[-] blurredbadger@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

You could've just said you didn't know what you were talking about

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 37 points 1 year ago

That's actually a very good way to put it.

Look at some of the rules they've tried to pass. Checking on high school students' mensuration, checking on people who leave the state for abortions, trating miscarriages as murder.

Don't forget permission slips to have a nickname!

[-] blurredbadger@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Are we not talking about the supreme court?

Yeah that's pretty trash. But that's still a separate issue and not what SCOTUS ruled on
