And also the end of THE WORLD.

Since Roe v Wade lived through Scalia, I suspect it could survive whomever Trump puts in there. RBG is tank. She'll probably just will herself to live until the next Democrat is in office. I'd like to believe that a Justice feeling personally pro-life might not change how they feel about the constitutionality of abortion. Lots of people can disagree with things and still recognize the rights of others. Judges are educated folks. We should all breathe and try to give them more credit when it comes to being impartial.

And also the end of THE WORLD.

Or even worse! I hear Trump has plans to destroy gravity throughout the universe.

If your worried about radical

Yeah, that just shows what a flake he is. He'll say whatever he thinks people want to hear.

 

[melitamercury]

exactly! all he does is flip flop, but with pence on his side i'm scared that it will probably go.

That was 17 years ago when he was considering running under the reform party. It's interesting to watch the entire 20 minute interview. It pretty much recaps this entire campaign. He goes over the women, the racism, bankruptcies. All the controversies. How he would campaign. Why he doesn't mind all the bad press that came along. What all his policies are, and he hasn't changed any of them in that time. He's still saying he would do the same things on all the issues that are important to him. It actually makes you realize why half the people don't care. They've been hearing stuff against him all this time. There's been tons of books written about him.

All in all it's kind of a compelling foretelling of what just happened. It's also kind of confirming that some of what he said here has actually come to pass. He reasoned it out better than many politicians ever have.


This is the full interview.

It's possible, and I'm sure that the religious right will push for it, but right now I'm more concerned about the increase in hate crimes that's already taking place, just like it did in the UK after the Brexit vote.

I was thinking about this last night, and would it really benefit the Republican party to succeed at overturning Roe v. Wade? I don't doubt that some of them genuinely would like to see it go, but the existence of all those hypothetical dead babies gets them votes. I know several people, not all of whom are older, who faced with this Clinton/Trump trashfest fell back on voting for the pro-life candidate. Why lose that?

 

[EmiliaSong]

I don't see Trump himself pushing hard to overturn it. He's expressed pro-choice attitudes in the past. Bringing up Roe v. Wade would just be a bone for his base. He's going to focus on decimating regulations, killing public welfare for citizens, increasing public welfare for corporations, tightening immigration policies, and ignoring the fact that we kinda sorta need to do something about adapting to a shifting climate that'll make half of Florida disappear in 50 years.

Granted, HRC really wasn't much better, but at least she believes in science.

I'm glad we probably won't go to war with Russia, though. He has too many Russian business buddies.

Sounds like a bunch of hot air.

I don't see how it can be overturned, perhaps adjusted or possibly getting sent back to being a state issue. I do foresee abortions being government funded going out the proverbial window unless it was rape or some other extreme extenuating circumstance.
