The Smart Investor says this is an excellent time to buy stocks in meat tenderizers, turpentine, and of course, wire hangers!

Ever wonder what it was like in the good ol' days that Alabama hopes the right-wing supreme court will return us to?

Sources and sarcasm aside...this really depresses me. My mother and grandmother fought to defend women's rights to safe abortion. I am so, so scared that we're going back to this.

Look at it this way, either the most conservative court since the Four Horseman somehow find against this, or the republican party sees one of their major battle cries go up in smoke.

Scared is an exaggeration surely.

Blame the people who started the full court press culture wars...

Oh, you are one of those people.

@Darth Wedgius Ever since abortion was legalized, there's been this huge, mostly right-wing segment of the American population who thinks it's been a mistake, even though women were getting abortions far before it was legalized. They hate it. And it's not so simple as "they're deeply concerned about the well-being of the child!" Many of them are religious, and I think they're hypocrites because God's own teachings said, let him handle it, if this kind of thing is a crime. It's the same kind of view that went into outlawing liquor. A bunch of moral religious crusaders trying to shove their views down our throats. And even if it's a minority in the Alabama government, they know it caters well to the religious right-wing. Don't treat this as anything less than a major victory for the alt right and their war on women.

You have a problem with them acting like your beloved progressives?

He is, because the full court press on the culture war started with the Reagan revolution in the Eighties with the full integration of the Dixiecrats into the Republican party.

Yes, because when I think of progressives I think of creating policy specifically designed only to hurt people, like ... or ? and *file not found*.

I love My Cousin Vinny! That said, yeah. I think the day is coming abortion is not only banned, but we go a step further than even the 1950s, where miscarriages, no matter how unintentional, get you thrown in jail for murder. Contraceptives are banned. Those who perform abortions or get them will be charged with murder. But then, fanaticism and misogyny never shows much reason.

That was not full court press, you can make the case that the idiocy right after 911 was that.

Hate crime laws, not hard to guess the endgame. I don't think they think of themselves as hurting people.

Calm the fuck down.
