Abortion has been on the ballot in seven states since June 2022. In each instance, anti-abortion groups have lost.

They didn't overturn abortion, they overturned a right to privacy. Much more scary when you think of it like that

Are you claiming that they overturned the 4th amendment?

The 4th amendment has been effectively dead for a long time. I think the war on drugs killed it.

Fair, but to say this is what did it is a bit dramatic. Ideally, the court shouldn't be deciding these issues anyway and legislators should actually be doing their job.

That's actually a very good way to put it.

Look at some of the rules they've tried to pass. Checking on high school students' mensuration, checking on people who leave the state for abortions, trating miscarriages as murder.

It's the ultimate example of the dog catching the car. People took the right to choose for granted and the conservatives used is solely as a campaign tool to raise money. Now that that people have woken the fuck up they're realizing how harmful abortion bans are to a women's health and how demeaning it is to say that women can't make their own decisions when it comes to their own body. The Dobbs decision have put Republicans in an impossible position and are almost certainly going to cost them elections statewide and federally for the foreseeable future.

Having a central dictating authority over every state is fascist and evil.

this is an absolute meme of an argument

should states have the right to execute people who are the wrong religion?

if no, then what's the difference between that and allowing them to ban a life-saving operation on what boils down to religious grounds?
