Even if you're anti-abortion--and that's your prerogative--imagine taking as much joy in this decision as Johnny is and spiking the football, knowing full well how devastating this is to women's rights. What a sad little man.

Alito dunking on the dissent with stone cold facts:

The dissent is very candid that it cannot show that a constitutional right to abortion has any foundation, let alone a “‘deeply rooted’” one, “‘in this Nation’s history and tradition.’” Glucksberg, 521 U. S., at 721; see post, at 12–14 (joint opinion of BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ.). The dissent does not identify any pre-Roe authority that supports such a right—no state constitutional provision or statute, no federal or state judicial precedent, not even a scholarly treatise. Compare post, at 12–14, n. 2, with supra, at 15–16, and n. 23. Nor does the dissent dispute the fact that abortion was illegal at common law at least after quickening; that the 19th century saw a trend toward criminalization of pre-quickening abortions; that by 1868, a supermajority of States (at least 26 of 37) had enacted statutes criminalizing abortion at all stages of pregnancy; that by the late 1950s at least 46 States prohibited abortion “however and whenever performed” except if necessary to save “the life of the mother,” Roe, 410 U. S., at 139; and that when Roe was decided in 1973 similar statutes were still in effect in 30 States. Compare post, at 12–14, nn. 2–3, with supra, at 23–25, and nn. 33–34.47

The dissent’s failure to engage with this long tradition is devastating to its position. We have held that the “established method of substantive-due-process analysis” requires that an unenumerated right be “‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’” before it can be recognized as a component of the “liberty” protected in the Due
Process Clause. Glucksberg, 521 U. S., at 721; cf. Timbs, 586 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 7). But despite the dissent’s professed fidelity to stare decisis, it fails to seriously engage
with that important precedent—which it cannot possibly satisfy The dissent attempts to obscure this failure by misrepresenting our application of Glucksberg. The dissent suggests that we have focused only on “the legal status of abortion in the 19th century,” post, at 26, but our review of this Nation’s tradition extends well past that period. As explained, for more than a century after 1868—including “another half-century” after women gained the constitutional right to vote in 1920, see post, at 15; Amdt. 19—it was firmly established that laws prohibiting abortion like the Texas law at issue in Roe were permissible exercises of state regulatory authority. And today, another half century later, more than half of the States have asked us to overrule Roe and Casey. The dissent cannot establish that a right to abortion has ever been part of this Nation’s tradition.

Do you agree with Thomas’s dissent? Yes or no?

No.

At least we know that this ruling is largely toothless when it comes to preventing women in America from terminating a pregnancy.

It will become more difficult, especially for poor women, but abortion isn't going anywhere. 

Cruelty is the point.

That you really don’t give two shits about. It just hurts your feelings. You want some bullshit moral high ground, yet you don’t actually care. It doesn’t affect you at all. You’re just another power hungry asshole that wants to impose his will and ideals on others. Get fucked.

But there are already laws against that! Just not on obtaining the weapon without licensure, gathering 2,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, and carrying that weapon in public.

Abortion is not a constitutional right. States can allow it, but it is not a constitutional right. Not even close. Roe was wrongly decided.  If you want a constitutional right to abortion, get enough support for an amendment.

No.

Yet it’s going to happen, because it’s the inevitable result of the underlying disingenuous reasoning applied by the majority. It will happen, and you own it.

Also, there’s a long history of US jurisdiction banning the carrying of weapons (check your guns in with the sheriff, you get them back when you leave). Funny how some long-standing practices matter, and some don’t.

Let’s see what happens when someone in California sues the state and they take it up on their docket. And what happens when Rs get full control and put in a National ban? Who rules on it? This is the first step. They play the long game. This is all about putting more power in the hands of the federal government. They don’t want to stop at only half of the states. That doesn’t help their base. 

Don't worry guys!  I just got an email that should start the ball rolling in the right direction!

**10,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED BY MIDNIGHT**

We agree with President Biden – the only way for us to save abortion rights is to codify Roe v. Wade, so we’re starting a 50-state campaign to pressure the Senate to PASS Elizabeth Warren’s plan.

I'm sure they can get 10 R Senators on board because 10,000 signatures!  WTF.

The same place the right to free speech or vote is not predicated on showing some bureaucrat that “proper cause exists” before doing so.

I viewed women getting abortions as middle/upper middle class type with college educations for some reason.  Maybe because that's how it was back in the day, I don't know.  However, it's largely poor, working class women and a lot of them already have at least one kid.

But yes, this will not effect middle class and above women.

I disagree.  Thomas is on an island on that one.  And he is wrong.  I agree with the majority.  Thomas would need four justices to join him.  They declined to do so.

This isnt on the Dems. This is on McConnell and this is on the local Rs willing to bend and break the rules to run the system from a minority. I'm not going to blame people for not having a nefarious mind in how to gain power. Sadly those with a nefarious, win at all costs, mindset have power and probably locked in their power to the detriment of our democracy. We are now firmly in a Cold Civil War, on the precipice of a hot one.

No no no, it's much easier to blame the Dems/Pelosi/Schumer, because they obviously put Kav/Gorsuch/ACB on the court and are forcing Sinema/Manchin to keep the filibuster it's all their fault! 

The fastest and easiest way to absolve the GOP and their fuckery of democracy/legislating of all sins.  Dennison is doing their work - Dems are bad bc they didn't stop this so voting is worthless!

They're not primarily to blame, but they're completely unequipped and inadequate for the moment. Clyburn is already saying it's no big deal!
