I worked in a hospital before RvW. Several women a week came into our ER suffering from a septic illegal abortions, we barely saved some. After RvW, I never saw another one in the rest of my 46 years in medicine. Imagine that.
There's no such thing as a "safe" abortion. It's a complete myth. And even if there are no physical effects there is often enormous psychological damage.
Although I knew these were the conditions before RvW, and still are in many other countries without adequate healthcare for women, this text made want to cry.
Oh my gosh! WOW. That's like the drug addicts that are harmed by self-treating when the medical system fails to give in and give them drugs illegally. What a shame. We should let them get addicted to legal drugs so the hospitals make money. Human lives are not worth anything unless you're irresponsibly having fun and destroying lives while the money keeps floating up! AMIRITE!? hahaha Why bother with sex education and expecting adults to be responsible for their bodies and to consider the impact of their actions? I think based on that "logic" we should also not penalize drunk drivers etc. If they kill someone/ a pet; that person/pet should have not been such a nuisance and inconvenience. That poor drunk driver that is a victim of the person they run over. OMG IT's horrendous. What will society come to if we don't protect people that just wanna have fun???
When I was a teenager in 1983 my mother and aunt took us kids to cemeteries to show us why Roe the other legislation was so important. We saw many gravestones of women who died in childbirth in their 20s after bearing 10 or 12 children. All from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s. That's a big part of what the sixties "revolution" was about: not being home bound and pregnant over and over until she died.
The fact that these justices still get to sit and make sweeping decisions for other people after flat-out lying in their confirmation hearings (aka committing perjury) is maddening. The fact that Clarence Thomas still gets to act as though he's fit to serve when his wife was caught engaging in sedition, which should completely disqualify him as an unbiased judge. This system is deeply, fundamentally broken. It beggars belief.

My ex's brother and sister in law had to make the the worst choice in their lives when they decided, with the DR, to terminate the pregnancy. They were told that their son would suffer severe physical defects and more than likely wouldn't have lived through the birthing process. If he did survive his life would have been nothing but pain and nothing could be done to fix him. I'm not pro life (more like pro choice) but I would NEVER put my own standards on a life or situation that isn't my own. To think that a group of old men can tell a woman what do with her own body is beyond vile and this move screams of trying to control us. Those same men want to point their fingers at women who "didn't need to have sex" but where are the men because we don't get pregnant by ourselves. Where are the laws for the women who are left to deal with the fallout and have limited to no resources to make sure that that the child they were forced to bring to term has a good start in life? Now new generations of "free" women are going to be forced to fight all over again. Please stay strong and don't let this bullshit stand because I'm more than just a breeding machine because I was born with a uterus.
The men are legally responsible through child care, what are you even talking about? lmaoo 🤣 Talk about autonomy over your body when "your body, your choice" doesn't have you falling back on the slave labor of the father should you decide to keep it at a whim, instead of killed. You're asked to carry it in your stomach for 9 months worst case scenario, and give it up at a fire station. Worst case scenario men end up paying for 18 years of childhood while their baby mama bangs their best friend.
the men pay 40% of what they earn to child support, and they don't have the option to abort my mother was told the same thing and the doctors told her she needed to have an abortion that i would never make it through birth and that there is a good chance she would die I was 3 months early and i just turned 40 with no major health issues

You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is I'm pro-life. Their lives. Women's lives. You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted.

"deeply rooted in this nations history and tradition" If rights today were only based in what was historical in the US, i can imagine that there's at least one of those judges who would not be allowed to be on the SCOTUS today
Completely shocked at the thinking of American lawmakers!!! Are they competing with the Taliban?? Do they not know that these rights and discussions were had about 6-7 decades ago across the world? How backward is the USA??? As an Australian and a Womens health professional, this is unbelievably shameful.
I'm not the first to say this, but from my perspective, the only thing that separates the Taleban from the Republican Party, is that the Taleban are brown-skinned muslims- if they were white Christians, then the GOP would be falling over themselves to make common ground with them.
Why do you think they hated the Taliban so? They disliked the competition for Americans to compare them to! Next time on Christian Sharia Law Chronicles..... Also some of the Republican majority states are so ass backwards that they are still stuck on the American Civil War which ended in the 1860's. So if you think that 6-7 decades out of date is bad then you should set your wayback machine to a century earlier 😅 The US is somehow both entertaining and horrifying all at the same time, like watching a train derailment in slow motion and trying to look away but not quite managing it.

This is funny alright. Second to this is the Republican anti abortionist woman on CNN claiming that it is a compromise as other states will provide abortion.
That's conveniently lacking with people who have to juggle two or more jobs to get by, the overabundance of guns and resulting mass shootings, minorities of all kinds, the homeless, sick, disabled etc.
Barely 2 days after the ruling a woman was emergency airlifted from Texas to Colorado because the hospital wasn't allowed to treat her. She went there for help from the agony and trauma of an Ectopic pregnancy and the doctors weren't allowed to provide lifesaving care for her because it was an abortion of a fetus, even though the fetus would never have been viable. This just shows that Republicans got what they wanted and now don't know what to do with it.
There were already plenty of restrictive laws that made it hard enough to access an abortion in about half of the country, but taking abortion access away completely even in instances of RAPE, INCEST, OR FAILED CONTRACEPTION is so effing LAME!!!!!! UGH 🤯🤬
I feel sorry for my American sisters....and my stepdaughter who lives in a country where rights were taken away from women.... Fight for your rights, ladies! Love from EU
That's part of the problem. If only women have to fight for their rights 🤔. Is it only me believing there are two different people necessary to start a pregnancy???
As a nurse, I remember a young patient who tried to self-abort and winded up needing a hysterectomy. The floodgates just opened for more events like this to happen. Just wait…
Yeah that's the most infuriating part... this is not going to stop abortions, it'll just make them a whole lot messier and dangerous. Don't wait to kneel at the wake though, stand and act for the living to rescue those about to die.

@@natsusatsujinki8342 It's adorable that you say that like rape never happens, or condoms never break, or birth control fails.

But for the girl, oh no, she has to carry that baby to term, lose her next 18 years to childcare, and possibly die in childbirth. Yup, this is totally a fair choice.
Next up, determining wether the miscarriage was an abortion or not: - Throw the people involved in the water. If they float, they are guilty and should be burned. If the sink, they are innocent. Just like people did it back in the 14th century. PS. This has been a message brought to you by irony: “What people turn to when they are sad”,.. Ds.
also: remember that in US law the actual moment of the start of pregnancy is the last day of the menstrual cycle, meaning that women legally speaking have a 'miscarriage' every month or so.
You are only half right - the miscarriage/abortion trials will happen. As for the punishment it will be life in prison for both the woman and the doctor. Fast forward 20 years - populations plummet, from a lack of women and gynocologists🤣
@@voodoodummie That sounds like something written in medieval times. An ultrasound scan can literally date a foetus to within 1-2 days so such a determination is both stupid and pointless. Speaking of ultrasound it's now known that overuse of it during pregnancy can damage the baby. Which means all you need for a home abortion now is a more advanced and mobile ultrasound kit. I can just hear the slogans now..... "Smart babies listened to Mozart - aborted foetuses listened to Technavio!" 🤣
No one ever had any rights. Now, everyone gets to learn that the hard way. How many Americans know that America legalized "Marihuana" to win World War II? It's on film. Watch the 1942 USDA video, *Hemp for Victory.* The police have been beating and killing Americans over "Marihuana" since the end of World War II because the US Federal government kept *Hemp for Victory* away from the general public for almost 50 years after World War II. Everyone was lied to. Everyone was brainwashed from birth with the despicable lie that "Marijuana will destroy America." Now, the film has been public for over 30 years and there's an official US government link to the video, but no one notices because a lifetime of drug war propaganda has made them incapable of thinking. We the People never had any rights. The Axis lost World War II, but Fascism won.
Your rights too. They're infringing on your decisions to plan having a family or not, and the next step for the anti-abortion movement is to also ban contraceptives, something their bullshit birthing centers have been preaching for decades. Or imagine the unthinkable - you're soon to be a new parent only to be told by the doctors that your partner's pregnancy has become unviable, and when carried to term, your unborn child will likely die during childbirth, but worse yet, your partner could also die from severe complications. All because you live in a state that has written legislation that made no exceptions for miscarriages or the health of the mother. You could lose a wanted child along with your spouse all because a legislator thinks life begins at conception.
Here's a thought: Whatever punishment is meted out to the mother for an newly 'illegal abortion' should also be meted out to the father . No exceptions.
The problem with that is that the father never had rights before in abortions either - even when they want to prevent it for want to raise the child themselves they have zero power to prevent it. You can't have it both ways - so if you want the father to have that responsibility, you have to afford him equal rights when abortion rights are returned. Something tells me that few single women would support such a legislative change, and vocal feminists would scream the air black and blue until the very mention of it made conversation impossible.
Only if the father was for the abortion. There are a decent bumber of abortions that are instigated by the man and the woman is coerced agsinst her desire to keep the child. There are a decent number that are brought about fully mutually. And there are a decent number that are done by the woman against the man's desire to keep the child. In cases like the last kind, the man should be exempt.
@@mnomadvfx so would father be forced medically to experience all the physical pain and illness that comes with pregnancy, not to mention the risk of permanent illness and disability and even death? Because this is ultimately why the decision is to the pregnant person. We can fucking die - but I guess that's just the same as sometimes paying for child support, until figuring out they don't even enforce this...
HIPAA laws made spreading medical info without consent illegal. The odd thing that I noticed as a pharmacist was that it came to be about the same time as Viagra.
Here in Australia (where abortion is legal throughout the country, thank heavens), we're all shaking our heads in sadness & horror at this decision. You all need to get very ready to VOTE at the Midterms. But, a question - if the 3 SCOTUS Judges lied about their position on Rowe v Wade at their Confirmation Hearings, under oath, should they not be removed from their positions for perjury under oath? Any Constitution wiggle-room there folks? If men were the ones who got pregnant, then this would not be an issue. Stay strong, US folks!

Just imagine how many people we could save, if we harvested the organs from our dead without their permission. I mean there are countless of living people who need a new organ. Despite that we choose to respect other peoples wishes regarding their organs, even if they are not alive anymore. That's how much we choose to respect peoples right to decide over their bodies. That is, if you're not a woman. If you are a woman and have a fetus in your womb, then suddenly some people think you no longer get to decide over your own organ. According to these people the state should get to make decisions over your womb, even though it's part of your body. It's wild that some people really want women to have less say over their own bodies than a corpse. I've always felt that people should get to decide over their own organs, I guess I'm just weird like that.
Something I've been saying about supposed "pro-life" views for a while. And if you ask those pro-lifers their thoughts on welfare and foodstamps and even free public schooling to help support those unwanted babies, they are harshly against them. And they support gun rights to the point of allowing assault and military weapons to get into civilian hands with little background checking or training. They only care about "life" while it's non-sentient.
I'm a Singaporean woman, and while a lot of people like to say our government is authoritarian and our people don't have any 'personal freedom', at least abortion is legal and widely accessible across the city, and has been for more than 50 years.

As a man, I choose not to have my own opinion on the issue of abortion. Instead I mirror the opinion that my wife holds. Her opinion: Thank God Roe was overturned.
Thank you for your thoughts, JumpingBeans. Just to be clear the ruling allows States to have their own laws, so in certain States, nothing will change. That being said, the whole thing is incomprehensible to me because I am challenged in naming a country where abortion is illegal. Even Catholic Ireland lifted its restrictions. I am a man, but it disturbs me how any government can meddle with this personal desicion. It also concerns me that more irrational decisions will be made by the court that affect me directly and personally.

How far they'll manage to push it is anyone's guess. One would like to think that the country championing freedom for 200 years would care about you know.. freedom. But one can also look at polling numbers and see that these theocratic policies are not unpopular - or at least not unpopular enough to convince people to stop voting into power those who would destroy freedom in the name of religion.
My father and I were getting ice cream yesterday and this girl and her boyfriend in their 20s were in line in front of us talking with an older man about how “this Roe decision hasn’t affected me, so I don’t see the big deal” and I so badly wanted to confront her and say “you mean to say it hasn’t affected you YET, or that you mean to say you have the privilege of it not having to affect you”
A very typical Republican retort. They are only interested in what affects them and don't give a damn how it may affect others. Conservatives are boorish and blinkered, because that suits them and they believe no one has the right to judge them, or make them accountable. That is why get get away with everything they do, whether it be legal or not.
I hope the word "immunities" apply to this case, so that the article 4 section 2 of US Constitution will protect those women in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and so on from being arrested and even from any sort of trial: "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."

Actually, abortion was commonly accepted in colonial America and the early nation. It was legal until 1826 when one state at the behest of the new AMA, banned it. Instructions for abortion were included in a book of home remedies written by Ben Franklin. It’s true. Look it up. So the statement that it is not deeply rooted in the nations history is absolutely wrong.
Yes, it was common in colonial times. What was not were the type of guns that are now used. particularly in mass shootings. But God forbid we outlaw them.

He said sorry your husband signed the form-he pushed me back down the nurse injected me in my IV as I protested. I woke up hysterical.

They made sure they had a way of forever stripping the right to vote away from certain people while providing a path to regain it (with likelihood of success) for certain other people.

@ Michael Starkly if you aren't aware, women have lived at the mercy of men for somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 years of modern human history), as these days they are putting the immergence if cro magnon back at 200,000 years. The show is obviously referencing that, it's called satire. And overturning Roe v Wade is exactly the kind of thing it warns against.
@@mikestarkly9226 certainly have watched the show: no freedom for women to choose what happens to them, imposed by a authoritative religious regime. Sex, if non consensual and results in conception, is illegal to abort. You can snitch on your neighbour and be rewarded by your state. Its a great show but never do we want it to be either a documentary or a prophetic piece
I'm so happy I don't live in the US but every time I think about this ruling I still want to cry. It's so unfair and inhumane and cruel. And it's just going to get worse. I keep trying to type more but there's nothing I can say that hasn't been said 100x over and been ignored by the fuckwits in control of the US.
I was a drug addicted mess in my 20's. If I hadn't had access to a safe, legal abortion, that fetus would have been in bad shape. Now I am thinking of all the young women who will be in that position, and I am physically ill. I think being breeding chattel for the government is going to suck a whole lot.
@@ryanbrown398 HAHAHAHAHAHA! You really think that? That's hilarious. This now allows all Republican states to ban abortions, forcing women to either go to a state where abortion is allowed (which is costly and not easily available) or turn to more shady methods of abortion which could kill them.
From New Zealand, the first country that sees the new day... each day, we look at America now and thank God we're ahead of at least 40% of you on the Pro-Choice answer. Quite how America calls itself a democracy requires several hours of boring conversations around The Constitution, The Two Houses of law makers and the madness that is the lobbying system that has currupted everything from the cradle to the grave and beyond. Surely, the Right will be wrong enough times to even convince idiots to just stop.
You're not the first country to see the new day. I would have led with "we're the first country to give women the vote" (although women weren't allowed to be candidates for office)
Be careful. There are many in NZ who want to take the country way to the right. Fortunately NZ does not have Fox News/propaganda to contend with. Yes, there is Mike Hosking who is a bit of a Tucker Carlson wannabe. But, luckily in terms of sociopathy and hypocrisy, he is not in the same league..
a democracy allows its voters to vote in state to allow those in that state to set the rules. women 50% of voters and can swing a vote for whatever person who fits there views! thats a democracy... not a nation that had President after President to make wade v roe law ( as obama said he would but didnt even with a massive majority) the judges ruled on the fact there is no written law to allow the fed government to force states to abortion. so either u want judges to rule on emotion or law but pal New Zealand is known for its hardline anti freedom covid policies, btw women in usa can abort up-till birth in some places, so think USA gives women later abortions than new zealand

Going after birth control next is terrifying. Not least because, quite aside from the entire dismantling of a woman’s right to her own body and sexual choices, medical practice uses the pill for a whole range of gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, hormone imbalances and menorrhagia. Mostly because no one has bothered trying to come up with something else. If you have endo and want kids, you either suffer with the pain and haemorrhaging while you try to get pregnant, or you go on the pill and don’t have kids, those are your choices. I live in Ireland, and I never thought women here would have more rights than they do in the US. We fought tooth and nail to repeal the 8th and things still are not 100% there, but I feel so much safer here than I would in the US. My heart is broken for you.
It's often overlooked that birth contraceptives can have other uses. I couldn't take the pill, because it made my premenstrual migraines worse, but I did take the mini pill for a short time because I could tolerate it. There are so many options now available but to think that women in the US might have all of that taken away so easily.... Just being able to regulate your cycle helps women get on with their lifes and jobs, but I guess these zealots want them all barefoot and pregnant, chained to the kitchen sink for their entire fertile lives.
I don't think they'd get enough support to get rid of *most* forms of birth control, on a national level. However some states have already tried banning IUD's and morning after pills citing the life begins at conception and one of the ways they can function is to prevent implantation. Which while hard to fully study, research figures conservatively 10-40% of fertilized eggs don't implant. Beyond that 10-50% or more will miscarry. I wonder if they'll tell older women they shouldn't get pregnant, as the likelihood of miscarriage increases with age.
God, this whole thing is fucked up. First abortion, and then the mere idea of birth control? What are they even thinking? What right do they have to control something so personal? So now, not only can they decide that if an accidental pregnancy happens nothing can be done, but now they don't want people to be able to be safe if they DO have sex with their lover? This nation is fucked.
Hell I was told Mirena was my only option after 2yrs of hemorrhaging 25d/month every month, nothing more permanent was an option despite being in my mid-30s and primo candidate for ecclampsia, just because I'm not married/do not have a husband or long term boyfriend's consent. Thankfully it's working, for now, but not sure what I should do if I have work travel to a state where IUDs are made illegal....
I have to take it for PCOS, otherwise all sorts of grotesque things happen. And PCOS is quite common (~and~ I don't have symptoms nearly as bad as some do)! It beggars belief that these small-minded old-timey fools feel like they can legislate on something they know literally nothing about. The sheer arrogance of it all astounds me. Thank heavens I don't live in the US, but I truly feel for those who do and have this fight ahead of them.
My daughter looked me in the eye, shrugged, and said her career and the ability to have a child when it's the right time for her was more important to her than some nasty old judges' religion and this ruling. She's decided never to date. Not even when she would like to be married, because who in this age wants to do marriage and then sex and she refuses to risk dating. She'll have a sperm donor when she wants a baby. I'm angry right with you. I wanted a son in law someday. But this is now her best choice. Making men obsolete and cut completely out of her life aside from friendship. And I have to wonder just how many other women will decide the same thing.
Thanks for the shout-out Stephen!! New Zealand / Aotearoa! We love you here man, you´re the sanity that helps explains the abhorrent things happening in the US.

Good luck USA.. we do not take any pleasure watching your democracy crumble. The good people on the street give us all hope. ..but we´re pretty sweet down here. Cheers Steve!

Funny thing about these laws is they seem to focus on punishing and threatening women, others who are pregnant, and doctors. It takes 2 to get pregnant, so I say lets see punishment for the men too. How about mandatory vasectomies for all deadbeat dads, rapists, and anyone else who gets someone pregnant then tries to avoid helping raise and pay for the kid(s)? Fair is fair after all.
The point isn't to prevent pregnancies - why would they want to increase vasectomies? Any woman not inclined towards children I would advocate getting your tubes tied now, because your rights to such a procedure will likely be taken away in due course by the Axis of Evil in the SCOTUS sooner or later.
The irony was abortion was probably the most common medical procedure when the nation was founded, and it was probably one of the few medical procedures, back in that time, where there was sound medical practices and understanding. It was the common belief among Christians, and even the Catholic Church, at the time that life did not begin until the mother felt the first kick, and if a woman wanted an abortion, it wasn't like she couldn't lie about feeling a kick, so it wasn't much of an obstacle. Hell, even Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, and a man who believed in faith healing rather than doctors, had a private abortionist who carried out abortions for pregnant women in his church, John C Bennet. When Bennet published a story about abortions he carried out to protect Smith's reputation, Smith burnt the printing press, was arrested and taken to Carthage Jail, where he was attacked and killed by a lynch mob, so it is kind of strange that Mormons are unfamiliar with that part of their history.
That makes sense. Much more sense than the cruel and misogynistic excuses the GOP makes to control women and exert power over us. Thank you for sharing these historical facts.
Also strange how bible-thumpers ignore the fact that their precious god was quite prolific with miscarriages. Turns out Yahweh is the biggest abortion provider of all. Maybe they should try to charge him. 😕
Another easy solution: Every man who hasn't had a vasectomy, must have signed notarized paperwork stating he'll care for any potential life created, BEFORE intercourse.

this scotus actually decided a case by writing "the right to abortion denied, because it's not in the constitution". imo, this opinion ended more than roe- it ended the scotus. we have no use for a high court who pretends that their job is to scan the constitution and tell us if a particular word is in it or not. the constitution is not a compulsory TOS contract that we as citizens were all required to click on at birth to participate on the platform of US citizen. and scotus is not a gang of corporate contract lawyers getting paid to play 'gotcha' with our constitutional rights.
I mean, you're right. Which is why they overturned it. The 10th Amendment clearly states that all rights not expressly given to the Federal government is reservered for the States and the people...So, they are actually returning a right. Pretty rare, last time was the ending of prohibition, though that was legislative like it should be. Or you'd rather have a court that reinterprets what is legal or illegal based on how they "feel" about legislation at any time? And that would swing wildly with the composition of the members... I really don't think, you've thought this thru.
If you can move, move. I know moving isn't the answer but... they're going to start tax breaks (in those states where they want us to have less or no rights) so jobs move to those areas... and if they do... Stop spending your $ on those companies! It already started with those that moved to Texas! Stop giving the companies, that operate out of these states, your $. Buy from states that support having rights! Expect tax breaks again next, just like Texas, and more jobs to move... that's going to mean less jobs in those places where we have more rights. Voting is no longer enough, we need to find those states who back rights and be sure there's enough $ there for jobs to be swayed to exist there.
People actually need to do the opposite of what you just said. Why? Because there are more people on the left then on the right in this country. Those of us on the left need to start moving to Republican districts until we switch it from a red district to a blue one.
those tax breaks aren't going to be attractive enough if the workforce suffers from a serious case of brain loss. over the course of 10 years, this will create an absolutely stark contrast between the financial status of people in red states vs blue states.
Instead of forcing desperate women in to back alleys, perhaps Americans should make choosing life easier instead of making termination harder and dangerous. Paid maternity leave, free healthcare during the prenatal, childbirth and postnatal period (and maybe all of childhood, or all of life like a civilized country), and a just country where minorities don't live in fear of the authorities might help.
The idea of abortion grieves my heart and soul. That someone could control the body of another grieves me more. I cannot imagine the pain of women who must consider abortion. I cannot imagine her pain for being denied.
Sometimes it's nit about pain. Sometimes it's about a woman wanting sex without having to have a kid. It shouldn't always be about pain and emotion, but actual logic and facts
@@anthonymock9717 fact: pain is a defence mechanism, whether emotional or physical; Its not linear, you cannot rationalise with it. Minimising someones pain because you cannot relate/sympathise reflects poorly on you, not them.
No one must consider abortion. Let's pray that killing our kids becomes unthinkable. If people only have sex in faithful marriages that are open to life, aware that having sex leads to pregnancy this would be a different world.

Sharing this in hopes that it may reach even 1 person. The recent ruling did NOT make abortions universally illegal, so there IS a next step if you want to keep reproductive rights for yourselves or loved ones. VOTE. Now more than ever it is absolutely critical. It's the only tool I can think of that we have.
There are also resources & organizations that help people who face barriers to a safe abortion, like funds to help them travel out of state and coordination to see abortion providers who care for folks in need from out of state. Daily Show's Beyond the Scenes did two podcast episodes on abortion care & access, the provider he interviewed gives good info.
Good for Salt Lake City. The letter the mother from there wrote that went around the internet was very moving. She was a mother of 4 with a fetus that would die and kill her too. It was a wanted baby, if had been a baby, but it was a death sentence for her and an orphan maker as well, and she had no qualms of what was the right choice.
That is exactly the case that changed a lot of people's minds in Ireland. A married dentist died of sepsis because the hospital refused to remove the failing fetus from her body.
I dont think it is correct to assume that abortion was a big issue in either medieval times or Roman times. In general this wasn't a big issue until the evangelical movements made it one. Ben Franklin, for instance, wrote a book which providied (among other things) advice on how to get abortions safely (based on available medical knowledge of the times). I think, for the most part, abortions were just a part of life and what some people did.
Actually in ancient Rome men would force women to kill their children in infanticide by leaving them out in the sun so they die of exposure. Other methods, such as abortion by starving oneself, in order to produce stillbirths, were also used. Usually this was because the man wanted only male sons. Christianity altered this by affording woman and their children human dignity. For this reason, many woman converted to Christianity(St Helen, St Monica) and slowly converted the state of the Roman Empire. Human dignity went from being a man's choice, to a protected good, and then to being a woman's choice in our modern times.
@@supercoolbrian you got a source for that? Sure sounds like christian propaganda to me. Edit:. To be clear the thing I want backed up is the idea that men, on a regular basis, would FORCE women to kill their children. Methods are irrelevant and law of that time is pretty clear that abortion wasn't a crime. Sidenote edit: I do find it funny that someone is claiming that Christianity gave women human dignity. Christianity which says women are less than men. Christianity which says that a woman who is raped gets to 'punish' the rapist by requiring them to pay the woman's father a dowry and then the rapist is 'forced' to marry the raped woman. Yeah.... Christianity is great at valuing women and isn't misogynistic at all *eye roll* I'm sure Christianity was a huge improvement to what they had before that in ancient Rome (in case you couldn't tell that's supposed to be dripping in sarcasm).
Plutarch in Lives: Lycurgus 16 writes that in State-controlled Sparta: “Nor was it in the power of the father to dispose of the child as he saw fit (as was his right in most societies). He was obliged to carry (the newborn) child before certain men at a place called Lesche; these men were some of the elders of the tribe to which the child belonged; their business was to carefully view the infant, and, if they found it stout and well made, they gave order for its rearing and allotted to it one of the nine thousand shares of land above mentioned for its maintenance, but, if they found it puny and ill-shaped, ordered it to be taken to what was called the Apothetae (“depository”), a (large cave) under Mt. Taygetus (in the Peloponnese); as thinking it neither for the good of the child itself, nor for the public interest, that it should be brought up, if it did not, from the very outset, appear to be healthy and vigorous.”
By virtue of mentioning that old elders made the decision, its pretty clear women didn't have a choice in Roman Sparta. By expressing surprise that the father couldn't make the choice, its pretty clear that it was the norm in Roman law for the father to make the choice. All this is written of course by men. I'd be more surprised if you had proof that abortion was afforded specifically to a woman. In ancient Greece, Aristotle spoke about it as a matter compulsory law. “As to exposing or rearing the children born, let there be a law that no deformed child shall be reared; but on the ground of number of children, if the regular customs hinder any of those born being exposed, there must be a limit fixed to the procreation of offspring, and if any people have a child as a result of intercourse in contravention of these regulations, abortion must be practiced on it (the child).”
Let's back up a second. The SC ruling was a limit on the legislator (or Democracy). It was a flawed way to enable rights for abortion, it wasn't democratic. No other country that has abortion allowed needed a SC ruling. I would urge everyone solve this by electing pro choice members. Make it law, you only think you can't solve it democratically is because people are lying to you. They want you to feel dis-empowered.
I guess you are not aware that case was full of errors and misconduct. Obviously those cases should be overturned whether or not you agree with the outcome.
3:46 "Abortion is not deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition and, therefore, not protected as a right" Slavery was deeply rooted in your nation's history and tradition, but you got rid of it, didn't you? Because it was about a person's autonomy and self-determination as an individual. You guys are getting closer and closer to Fascism by the day and it's incredibly frightening even for those of us watching from the outside.
Yes...with a war and an AMENDMENT...wow, you people are thick. It's gone back to the states. And only IF a federal law or AMENDMENT is passed will the federal courts rule on it. Only a blockhead would look at legislative disagreement and accuse people of becoming fascist...
You see though that's the problem with saying you have a right to abortion. Its made up, and its no more supportable than saying you have a right to own slaves.
At the end of the day the elections won’t be determined by abortion , Guns rights, Russia etc…..if inflation and the economy are not put under control and peoples pockets continue to be ravaged than there is no way the party in power will stay in power

Because these lawmakers didn’t and don’t understand what they are legislating. This is America
Abortion _is_ deeply rooted in American traditions. Hell, Ben Franklin published at-home herbal abortion instructions, and never heard a single objection.
I worked in a hospital before RvW. Several women a week came into our ER suffering from a septic illegal abortions, we barely saved some. After RvW, I never saw another one in the rest of my 46 years in medicine. Imagine that.
There's no such thing as a "safe" abortion. It's a complete myth. And even if there are no physical effects there is often enormous psychological damage.
Well the "pro-lifers" would argue that the woman deserves death 🤷♂️

My ex's brother and sister in law had to make the the worst choice in their lives when they decided, with the DR, to terminate the pregnancy.

I'm not pro life (more like pro choice) but I would NEVER put my own standards on a life or situation that isn't my own.

Those same men want to point their fingers at women who "didn't need to have sex" but where are the men because we don't get pregnant by ourselves. Where are the laws for the women who are left to deal with the fallout and have limited to no resources to make sure that that the child they were forced to bring to term has a good start in life?

She went there for help from the agony and trauma of an Ectopic pregnancy and the doctors weren't allowed to provide lifesaving care for her because it was an abortion of a fetus, even though the fetus would never have been viable.

- Throw the people involved in the water. If they float, they are guilty and should be burned. If the sink, they are innocent. Just like people did it back in the 14th century.

Everyone was lied to. Everyone was brainwashed from birth with the despicable lie that "Marijuana will destroy America." Now, the film has been public for over 30 years and there's an official US government link to the video, but no one notices because a lifetime of drug war propaganda has made them incapable of thinking.

Your rights too. They're infringing on your decisions to plan having a family or not, and the next step for the anti-abortion movement is to also ban contraceptives, something their bullshit birthing centers have been preaching for decades. Or imagine the unthinkable - you're soon to be a new parent only to be told by the doctors that your partner's pregnancy has become unviable, and when carried to term, your unborn child will likely die during childbirth, but worse yet, your partner could also die from severe complications. All because you live in a state that has written legislation that made no exceptions for miscarriages or the health of the mother. You could lose a wanted child along with your spouse all because a legislator thinks life begins at conception.
Here's a thought: Whatever punishment is meted out to the mother for an newly 'illegal abortion' should also be meted out to the father . No exceptions.
Yes!
The problem with that is that the father never had rights before in abortions either - even when they want to prevent it for want to raise the child themselves they have zero power to prevent it.
You can't have it both ways - so if you want the father to have that responsibility, you have to afford him equal rights when abortion rights are returned.
Something tells me that few single women would support such a legislative change, and vocal feminists would scream the air black and blue until the very mention of it made conversation impossible.
Only if the father was for the abortion. There are a decent bumber of abortions that are instigated by the man and the woman is coerced agsinst her desire to keep the child. There are a decent number that are brought about fully mutually. And there are a decent number that are done by the woman against the man's desire to keep the child. In cases like the last kind, the man should be exempt.

Thanks for the random shout out at the beginning, Stephen. As someone watching from New Zealand, it's hard to watch what your country is going through right now. Stay strong American brothers and (especially) sisters, kia kaha.
The trigger law that went into effect in Arkansas just six hours after Roe vs Wade was overturned includes a punishment of 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Can't vote against them if you're in jail.
Imagine if the woman already has children. Yet they believe in the sanctity of life.
And in several other red states, can’t vote even after having done your time. They made sure they had a way of forever stripping the right to vote away from certain people while providing a path to regain it (with likelihood of success) for certain other people. Also, it’s an incentive to convict certain people in those states. We are not even close to being the greatest nation on earth when that’s allowed.

@@Veegirl514According to pro choice people like Biiden, they want to make abortion "safe, legal rare". BS. And your own words confirms that our pro life argument: they are using abortion as birth control.
Punishment for the women or the doctor? I’m wondering how this would even be enforced?

BREAKING: The Supreme Court Decided in a 6-3 ruling to award a School Coach his "right" to a "private prayer session" when in reality he requested all of his team of CHILDREN (who can't really say no) to partake his random Prayer brake at the 50 yard line. Say goodbye to the separation of church and state. If this was a Muslim man demanding his Team of children into a Prayer we would be hearing nonstop calls of Grooming and Rights being violated but because this man is a Christian he is not held accountable.

You are paranoid.
The Criminannies are a force to be reckoned with.
Miscarriage is “spontaneous abortion”. It is not medically or pharmaceutically induced. The former is not an act of the will, and the latter is. A bodily function that happens to you not involving your will cannot be criminalized.
Perhaps not in all cases but I would assume certain women would be profiled, or mandatory reporting by the health authorities to the state.

@@mikestarkly9226 certainly have watched the show: no freedom for women to choose what happens to them, imposed by a authoritative religious regime.

a democracy allows its voters to vote in state to allow those in that state to set the rules. women 50% of voters and can swing a vote for whatever person who fits there views! thats a democracy... not a nation that had President after President to make wade v roe law ( as obama said he would but didnt even with a massive majority) the judges ruled on the fact there is no written law to allow the fed government to force states to abortion. so either u want judges to rule on emotion or law

Going after birth control next is terrifying. Not least because, quite aside from the entire dismantling of a woman’s right to her own body and sexual choices, medical practice uses the pill for a whole range of gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, hormone imbalances and menorrhagia. Mostly because no one has bothered trying to come up with something else. If you have endo and want kids, you either suffer with the pain and haemorrhaging while you try to get pregnant, or you go on the pill and don’t have kids, those are your choices. I live in Ireland, and I never thought women here would have more rights than they do in the US. We fought tooth and nail to repeal the 8th and things still are not 100% there, but I feel so much safer here than I would in the US. My heart is broken for you.
It's often overlooked that birth contraceptives can have other uses. I couldn't take the pill, because it made my premenstrual migraines worse, but I did take the mini pill for a short time because I could tolerate it. There are so many options now available but to think that women in the US might have all of that taken away so easily.... Just being able to regulate your cycle helps women get on with their lifes and jobs, but I guess these zealots want them all barefoot and pregnant, chained to the kitchen sink for their entire fertile lives.
I don't think they'd get enough support to get rid of *most* forms of birth control, on a national level. However some states have already tried banning IUD's and morning after pills citing the life begins at conception and one of the ways they can function is to prevent implantation. Which while hard to fully study, research figures conservatively 10-40% of fertilized eggs don't implant. Beyond that 10-50% or more will miscarry. I wonder if they'll tell older women they shouldn't get pregnant, as the likelihood of miscarriage increases with age.
God, this whole thing is fucked up. First abortion, and then the mere idea of birth control? What are they even thinking? What right do they have to control something so personal? So now, not only can they decide that if an accidental pregnancy happens nothing can be done, but now they don't want people to be able to be safe if they DO have sex with their lover? This nation is fucked.
Hell I was told Mirena was my only option after 2yrs of hemorrhaging 25d/month every month, nothing more permanent was an option despite being in my mid-30s and primo candidate for ecclampsia, just because I'm not married/do not have a husband or long term boyfriend's consent.
Thankfully it's working, for now, but not sure what I should do if I have work travel to a state where IUDs are made illegal....
I have to take it for PCOS, otherwise all sorts of grotesque things happen. And PCOS is quite common (~and~ I don't have symptoms nearly as bad as some do)! It beggars belief that these small-minded old-timey fools feel like they can legislate on something they know literally nothing about. The sheer arrogance of it all astounds me. Thank heavens I don't live in the US, but I truly feel for those who do and have this fight ahead of them.
I know these were well written jokes but my heart is so broken and I'm so scared and angry that I just can't laugh
My daughter looked me in the eye, shrugged, and said her career and the ability to have a child when it's the right time for her was more important to her than some nasty old judges' religion and this ruling. She's decided never to date. Not even when she would like to be married, because who in this age wants to do marriage and then sex and she refuses to risk dating. She'll have a sperm donor when she wants a baby. I'm angry right with you. I wanted a son in law someday. But this is now her best choice. Making men obsolete and cut completely out of her life aside from friendship. And I have to wonder just how many other women will decide the same thing.

Funny thing about these laws is they seem to focus on punishing and threatening women, others who are pregnant, and doctors. It takes 2 to get pregnant, so I say lets see punishment for the men too. How about mandatory vasectomies for all deadbeat dads, rapists, and anyone else who gets someone pregnant then tries to avoid helping raise and pay for the kid(s)? Fair is fair after all.
Let’s just straight up castrate the rapists.
Vasectomy, vaschmectomy, I say castration.
Cut. It. Off.
The point isn't to prevent pregnancies - why would they want to increase vasectomies?
Any woman not inclined towards children I would advocate getting your tubes tied now, because your rights to such a procedure will likely be taken away in due course by the Axis of Evil in the SCOTUS sooner or later.
They should be disarmed completely like a Ken doll. 😂
The irony was abortion was probably the most common medical procedure when the nation was founded, and it was probably one of the few medical procedures, back in that time, where there was sound medical practices and understanding. It was the common belief among Christians, and even the Catholic Church, at the time that life did not begin until the mother felt the first kick, and if a woman wanted an abortion, it wasn't like she couldn't lie about feeling a kick, so it wasn't much of an obstacle.
Hell, even Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, and a man who believed in faith healing rather than doctors, had a private abortionist who carried out abortions for pregnant women in his church, John C Bennet. When Bennet published a story about abortions he carried out to protect Smith's reputation, Smith burnt the printing press, was arrested and taken to Carthage Jail, where he was attacked and killed by a lynch mob, so it is kind of strange that Mormons are unfamiliar with that part of their history.
That makes sense. Much more sense than the cruel and misogynistic excuses the GOP makes to control women and exert power over us. Thank you for sharing these historical facts.
Oh they are they're just huge hypocrites
Also strange how bible-thumpers ignore the fact that their precious god was quite prolific with miscarriages. Turns out Yahweh is the biggest abortion provider of all. Maybe they should try to charge him. 😕
Yes! Even at the birth of america, women started to focus on their own independence and therefore their reproductive justice
i want you to know that I read Carthage jail as Catholic jail and felt it still made sense
LOL... I'm actually watching from New Zealand!
The best way to prevent unwanted pregnancy is homosexuality. Let's see what the GOP thinks about that.
They are planning on banning homosexual relations so
Another easy solution:
Every man who hasn't had a vasectomy, must have signed notarized paperwork stating he'll care for any potential life created, BEFORE intercourse.
They overturn Rovie Wade next they're going to overturn the side of mites marriage
This court has plans. Thomas specifically wrote that he would like to "revisit" Lawrence, Obergefell, and Griswold.
Or abstinence, that's exactly what women are doing now to protest roe v wade. That works!

this scotus actually decided a case by writing "the right to abortion denied, because it's not in the constitution". imo, this opinion ended more than roe- it ended the scotus. we have no use for a high court who pretends that their job is to scan the constitution and tell us if a particular word is in it or not.
the constitution is not a compulsory TOS contract that we as citizens were all required to click on at birth to participate on the platform of US citizen. and scotus is not a gang of corporate contract lawyers getting paid to play 'gotcha' with our constitutional rights.

@@tylr3669 great argument.
If you can move, move. I know moving isn't the answer but... they're going to start tax breaks (in those states where they want us to have less or no rights) so jobs move to those areas... and if they do...
Stop spending your $ on those companies! It already started with those that moved to Texas! Stop giving the companies, that operate out of these states, your $. Buy from states that support having rights!
Expect tax breaks again next, just like Texas, and more jobs to move...
that's going to mean less jobs in those places where we have more rights. Voting is no longer enough, we need to find those states who back rights and be sure there's enough $ there for jobs to be swayed to exist there.
People actually need to do the opposite of what you just said. Why? Because there are more people on the left then on the right in this country. Those of us on the left need to start moving to Republican districts until we switch it from a red district to a blue one.
those tax breaks aren't going to be attractive enough if the workforce suffers from a serious case of brain loss. over the course of 10 years, this will create an absolutely stark contrast between the financial status of people in red states vs blue states.

SCOTUS are appointed positions, though. If you ask me, they should be elected and have term limits just like the Presidency.
There are also resources & organizations that help people who face barriers to a safe abortion, like funds to help them travel out of state and coordination to see abortion providers who care for folks in need from out of state. Daily Show's Beyond the Scenes did two podcast episodes on abortion care & access, the provider he interviewed gives good info.
Good for Salt Lake City. The letter the mother from there wrote that went around the internet was very moving. She was a mother of 4 with a fetus that would die and kill her too. It was a wanted baby, if had been a baby, but it was a death sentence for her and an orphan maker as well, and she had no qualms of what was the right choice.
Self defense is still a legal right.
Barely though thanks to leftists.
And yet to so many so called “pro-lifers” they would rather she died
That is exactly the case that changed a lot of people's minds in Ireland. A married dentist died of sepsis because the hospital refused to remove the failing fetus from her body.
I dont think it is correct to assume that abortion was a big issue in either medieval times or Roman times. In general this wasn't a big issue until the evangelical movements made it one. Ben Franklin, for instance, wrote a book which providied (among other things) advice on how to get abortions safely (based on available medical knowledge of the times). I think, for the most part, abortions were just a part of life and what some people did.
Jonathan Taylor: A bit misleading, abortions were not "just a part of life", it was/is purposeful death of a child.
Actually in ancient Rome men would force women to kill their children in infanticide by leaving them out in the sun so they die of exposure. Other methods, such as abortion by starving oneself, in order to produce stillbirths, were also used. Usually this was because the man wanted only male sons. Christianity altered this by affording woman and their children human dignity. For this reason, many woman converted to Christianity(St Helen, St Monica) and slowly converted the state of the Roman Empire. Human dignity went from being a man's choice, to a protected good, and then to being a woman's choice in our modern times.
@@supercoolbrian you got a source for that? Sure sounds like christian propaganda to me.
Edit:. To be clear the thing I want backed up is the idea that men, on a regular basis, would FORCE women to kill their children. Methods are irrelevant and law of that time is pretty clear that abortion wasn't a crime.
Sidenote edit: I do find it funny that someone is claiming that Christianity gave women human dignity. Christianity which says women are less than men. Christianity which says that a woman who is raped gets to 'punish' the rapist by requiring them to pay the woman's father a dowry and then the rapist is 'forced' to marry the raped woman. Yeah.... Christianity is great at valuing women and isn't misogynistic at all *eye roll* I'm sure Christianity was a huge improvement to what they had before that in ancient Rome (in case you couldn't tell that's supposed to be dripping in sarcasm).
Plutarch in Lives: Lycurgus 16 writes that in State-controlled Sparta:
“Nor was it in the power of the father to dispose of the child as he saw fit (as was his right in most societies). He was obliged to carry (the newborn) child before certain men at a place called Lesche; these men were some of the elders of the tribe to which the child belonged; their business was to carefully view the infant, and, if they found it stout and well made, they gave order for its rearing and allotted to it one of the nine thousand shares of land above mentioned for its maintenance, but, if they found it puny and ill-shaped, ordered it to be taken to what was called the Apothetae (“depository”), a (large cave) under Mt. Taygetus (in the Peloponnese); as thinking it neither for the good of the child itself, nor for the public interest, that it should be brought up, if it did not, from the very outset, appear to be healthy and vigorous.”
By virtue of mentioning that old elders made the decision, its pretty clear women didn't have a choice in Roman Sparta. By expressing surprise that the father couldn't make the choice, its pretty clear that it was the norm in Roman law for the father to make the choice. All this is written of course by men. I'd be more surprised if you had proof that abortion was afforded specifically to a woman. In ancient Greece, Aristotle spoke about it as a matter compulsory law.
“As to exposing or rearing the children born, let there be a law that no deformed child shall be reared; but on the ground of number of children, if the regular customs hinder any of those born being exposed, there must be a limit fixed to the procreation of offspring, and if any people have a child as a result of intercourse in contravention of these regulations, abortion must be practiced on it (the child).”
When a US Court can overturn their own rulings years later, democracy and the court of law mean nothing. Such a sad state of affairs.
Let's back up a second. The SC ruling was a limit on the legislator (or Democracy). It was a flawed way to enable rights for abortion, it wasn't democratic. No other country that has abortion allowed needed a SC ruling.
I would urge everyone solve this by electing pro choice members. Make it law, you only think you can't solve it democratically is because people are lying to you. They want you to feel dis-empowered.
I guess you are not aware that case was full of errors and misconduct. Obviously those cases should be overturned whether or not you agree with the outcome.
3:46 "Abortion is not deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition and, therefore, not protected as a right"

I've started watching TH-cam videos for how to live on the cheap in other countries that have more rights for it's citizen's than the US now does. Don't know if I'll ever have the money or opportunity to go, but I can dream.
Take your anger to the ballot box. Elect people who will fix this nonsense!
Really? You think so? Nothing is guaranteed when politicians are bought and paid for. It is the corrupt political system in the USA that causes all the problems.
Yes, let's get Brandon out of there. Only took him a year and change to put this country in the crapper.
Nobody cares about abortion. It's the economy, which is tanking under Biden and the Dems, which is why they're in huge trouble in November.
@@MrCplChicken After four years of donnie dipshits disaster, nobody is going to turn it around quickly.
And take your anger to your church. Threaten to walk out if your church does not support your right to plan your family the way you want.
And I am indeed watching from New Zealand so thank you for the shout out!
Ayyyyyyy kia ora e hoa
Why?
My parents had me in Sunday school all of about 2-3 weekends. I got kicked out. I kept asking questions because what they were teaching me didn't make any flipping sense. And my logical questions were infecting the other kids.
Same here I ran away after getting beat by some angry holy freak.
Kept asking questions and using Gods name in vain lol
same here🙋♀️
Damn guys want to talk about it? God loves you anyways but it's best if you can find it in your heart to believe some of it and figure things out with that logical thinking your talking about.
Also sorry about the abuse that kinda shit was somewhat in my parents family too. Well with my dad at least.
@@jacobreed1303 your beLIEf should be kept to yourself unless asked about. Stfu. And it's you're YOU ARE your is possessive
That black square on Judge Alito was probably well over sized
when the right to own a gun (even if as mentally unstable as me, a gun owner, whos been in mental health facilities and jail for violent crimes multiple times) is more important than your right to decide what happens to your own body. keep up the good work...
It's not only your body.
@@2Uahoj no, it’s the woman’s body. Don’t act like it’s not and don’t force her to have to carry something that could literally kill her in many situations.
@@2Uahoj And it wasn't only your body when SCOTUS shot down mask mandates. And that was only required in public places. Imagine if they'd strapped 10 pounds onto, and required you to wear it for 9 months straight in order to protect other people's lives. So where's the consistency in this court? Seems to me like they're playing favorites.
@@2Uahoj It damn well is! A beating sack of goo with no brain function or nerve system incapable of living outside of a woman shouldn't have more rights then the woman herself.
yes however thats because its written into the fabric as is free speech, abortion isnt write in, and thats why the judges over-turned it, as they voted on law, not morals or emotion...on LAW
I was pregnant with a baby whose brain was forming outside of his skull, and he would have been born just to die anyway. God help those who can't abort a similar issue.
Colbert has made me laugh over 20 years... ty!
Yeah and this time it seems a little wrong
Can we talk about the vast number of medications being denied women because a side effect is that it may possibly harm a fetus. So women ,who are not pregnant ,with diseases and disorders previously managed by medication are now being denied that medication because a pregnancy that isn’t real COULD. happen, so she has to suffer pain. Because these lawmakers didn’t and don’t understand what they are legislating. This is America
From NZ, thanks for the shout out, watch you every day.
Abortion _is_ deeply rooted in American traditions. Hell, Ben Franklin published at-home herbal abortion instructions, and never heard a single objection.
So fear and darkness were around back then too?
Makes sense.
@@Herowebcomics Fear and darkness is prevalent. Unfortunately it's growing.
Rapists now choose the mothers of their children.
Pretty shitty thing to do
The Handmaid's Tale is looking more like a prediction than a novel now!
Like you read the book.
@@jumantewashington8715 obviously she did or she would have mentioned the tv series instead. Isn’t it past your bedtime?
@@jumantewashington8715 so fast to judge huh? Well, some of us do care about the written word, however good the tv/movie adaptation is.
@@mahimanandakumar6856 Prove it. What's your favourite page?
That book was written on the GDR (East Germany)
Am watching from New Zealand!
