@suzianne saidActually, the problem in Arizona is that there is a law passed in 1901 that criminalizes all abortion services. The law passed in March (which has the 15 week ban):
15 weeks IS better than an outright ban.
As I understand it, our law mirrors Mississippi's.
Still, turning women's bodily sovereignty into a bargaining chip is distasteful as hell.
"explicitly says it does not overrule a state law in place for more than 100 years that would ban abortion outright if the Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that enshrined the right to abortion in law."

Clinics are already stopping abortion services for fear of prosecution under the 1901 law. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-politics-health-treatment-of-prisoners-7592c38f15d1899126653810ac5523e6

@no1marauder saidMany states have old laws that are basically unenforced.

There's still an ancient law here against cohabitation.
But yes, I heard this is a problem all across America with states threatening to start prosecuting for some of these old laws. With Trumpster Ducey still in charge, I wouldn't put anything past our clowns in the statehouse.

@no1marauder saidPut lib Marauder down for packing the court. How many judges do you think, Marauder ? You fellers are into mobs, groups, gatherings, I would say about 51 would be a perfect number..
There are a number of possible political responses like Federal legislation codifying abortion rights or adding new members to the SCOTUS.
You libs are just absolutely unbelievable , here is a seemingly smart guy who answers this particular problem by getting More Judges??!??!?

@averagejoe1 saidWell, there were 6 SCOTUS judges when the country was formed with a population of about 4 million, so if we wanted to return to what the Framers had about 500 would do.

@no1marauder saidThe framers never said anything about the number of justices being tied into the population.

The thought of 500 justices is retarded.
@JJ-Adams
And the thought, no, now the reality, of SCOTUS going rogue is the worst thing to happen to the US for DECADES. Trump got his puppets in play like he said he would and now it is not even close to actual jurisprudence, now strictly a political arm, puppets of the religious ultrarightwingnuts.
I hope you liked the Soprano cut.

And you don't even know what truth is if it came up and bit you on the ass.
And I sincerely hope it does.
This SCOTUS bunch just went rogue and now they are just the puppets of the religious ultrarightwingnuts.
