A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

Typical, willful misunderstanding of state's rights.

Even if you disagree with the rights, you can't deny that people think they should exist.

Do you think, for example, that Thailand is justified in executing drug users? That's the right of their state. Should there be a world constitution that stops them from doing that? I personally think, yes. But it doesn't exist, so drug users in Thailand must suffer execution.

It's an unfortunate world we live in, but bad faith arguments do not make it better.

bad faith arguments do not make it better.

Then stop putting forward bad faith arguments

Typical, willful misunderstanding of state’s rights.

Nobody actually believes this is about states rights, evidenced by the fact the the states trying to ban abortions are trying to prevent them happening in other states where it is legal.

Typically willful misunderstanding of the right to be left alone and the "right" of the skydaddy followers to impose their will on us.

Thanks for muddling theocracy with democracy today
