SCOTUS to overturn Roe v Wade??

Praise The Lord:


Now gird your loins, it's about to get ugly.
 
Go Manchin!


And he did:

(CNN)A key vote on the Women's Health Protection Act, a Democrat-led bill aimed at preserving access to abortion nationwide, failed in the Senate on Wednesday.
The vote comes as the US Supreme Court may be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, as indicated by a leaked draft opinion.
The final tally was 49 to 51 with moderate Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joining with Republicans to vote against the measure and stop it from advancing.
The bill's failure to advance was expected amid GOP resistance. But the outcome of the vote nevertheless underscores how Democrats are severely limited in what they can achieve with their narrow Senate majority.
At the same time, the party faces enormous pressure to take action on abortion rights amid fears that Roe v. Wade will soon be struck down. Holding the vote provided an opportunity for Democrats to spotlight the issue and criticize Republican resistance to passage of the legislation.
President Joe Biden lashed out at Senate Republicans after the failed Senate vote.
"Once again -- as fundamental rights are at risk at the Supreme Court -- Senate Republicans have blocked passage of the Women's Health Protection Act, a bill that affirmatively protects access to reproductive health care," Biden said in a statement. "This failure to act comes at a time when women's constitutional rights are under unprecedented attack -- and it runs counter to the will of the majority of American people."
But the vote also highlighted division over the contentious issue among Democrats. Manchin told CNN ahead of Wednesday's vote he would be a "no" on the Democratic bill, arguing it's too broad. He indicated he would support a codification of Roe v. Wade, but said this bill goes too far. The moderate Democrat, who represents the red state of West Virginia and has previously described himself as "pro-life and proud of it," also voted with Republicans in opposition to the bill when it came before the Senate in February.
The Senate took up a version of the Women's Health Protection Act sponsored by Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. The bill would codify the right to access abortion into federal law and guarantee the right of health care providers to perform abortion services. A House-passed version of the bill failed to advance in the Senate earlier this year amid GOP opposition.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the vote one of the "most important" senators will take, "not only this session, but in this century."
"This is not an abstract exercise, it's as real and as urgent as it gets," Schumer said at a news conference on Friday.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Democrats for forcing the vote, arguing that "it would attack Americans' conscience rights and religious freedoms."
"It would overturn modest and overwhelmingly popular safeguards like waiting periods, informed consent laws and possibly even parental notification," McConnell said of Democrats' bill in remarks on the Senate floor on Monday.
Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, rare Republican abortion-rights supporters, have introduced their own legislation to codify the rights established by Roe into federal law.
Both voted against the Women's Health Protection Act in February and voted against it again during Wednesday's vote. Collins criticized the Democratic bill in a statement ahead of the vote. The Maine Republican said the bill "explicitly invalidates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in connection with abortion and supersedes other longstanding, bipartisan conscience laws."
Asked at a news conference on Friday why he won't instead bring the Collins and Murkowski bill to the floor, which could receive bipartisan support, Schumer said, "We are not looking to compromise something as vital as this."
Earlier this week, more than a dozen abortion rights groups wrote a letter strongly opposing Murkowski and Collins' bill, arguing it "would not protect the right to abortion if Roe v. Wade is overruled."
 
And now we know the price:

Ca to subsidies woman coming to Ca for abortion: $40,000,000 - this will pay for 15,000 woman to fly in from out of state, put them up in a hotel and provide the abortion ... and the state of California to pay for it all...

This is on top of 125 million plan to give more abortions in the state, with another 15 million to abortion non profits (Planned Parenthood) to give more abortions.


Following Draft SCOTUS Opinion, Legislative Leaders and Governor Newsom Announce Constitutional Amendment to Enshrine the Right to Choose in California​

SACRAMENTO – Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego), Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) and Governor Gavin Newsom released the below statement following news reports detailing a preliminary U.S. Supreme Court majority draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade and end federal constitutional protections for the right to abortion:
“California will not stand idly by as women across America are stripped of their rights and the progress so many have fought for gets erased. We will fight. California is proposing an amendment to enshrine the right to choose in our state constitution so that there is no doubt as to the right to abortion in this state. We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution. Women will remain protected here.”

It's CA's new push for the hotel & tourism industry. Shut them down for Covid then reopen for abortion.

Because that's what all hotels want, women bleeding all over their sheets and mattresses after an abortion.

Nevada the same thing... three day trip, play a little black jack, see a show, have an abortion, fly home what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...

The leaker will probably no longer be able to practice law but they will get a nightly show on MSNBC instead.
 
Whenever they do, look for women to be bawling and screaming and pitching a fit. I'd like for it to happen Monday. Seeing a bunch of mad crazy chicks is kinda cool as long as I'm not on the receiving end of their belligerent fits. Yes., SCOTUS will rule on Monday!
 
Well, not all women. There are lots of women who are staunch Pro Life. The ladies in my family are.
 
All heck is going to break loose if the ruling is announced and as expected. Part of me thinks there will be a last minute change in the outcome.
