About
The "Death of Roe" refers to the now-expected overturn of the Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision [W] which made it illegal for states to outlaw abortion. This decision has been affirmed by SCOTUS countless times since, and yet the six "conservatives" now on the GOP-packed bench see no problem in overturning what has been well-established precedent for five decades.

- 2022-05-17 Clarence Thomas Is Simply Radiating Hypocrisy Following Supreme Court Leak « unlike some of his colleagues, along with members of Congress and a seemingly endless parade of political pundits, who have all been worried about how this leak might undermine America's opinion of the court, Thomas seems to be saying that it’s his trust in us that's at risk.»
- 2022-05-11 Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe is still the only one circulated inside Supreme Court ...«none of the conservative justices who initially sided with Alito have to date switched their votes. No dissenting draft opinions have circulated from any justice, including the three liberals.»

- 2022-05-04 DKos: The content matters far more, but evidence says a rwnj gave us the draft - speculation about motives for the leak: hypothesizes that it was a right-winger who didn't want to leave any room for the right-wing justices to back down (this doesn't make sense to me, though, since SCOTUS justices are carefully isolated from the need for donations etc.)

[..] Medical advances mean we shouldn’t have to go back there! But it is insane that a Supreme Court that doesn’t represent the majority of Americans will cause women more death and suffering.» «Make no mistake, this is not where it ends. [..] Conservatives will not rest until they have come for all our rights. Everything we have fought for could be lost, unless we take it back.»
- 2022-05-08 HuffPo op-ed: The Threat To Our Communities Comes From Anti-Abortion Laws, Not Abortion (opinion, by an MD who provides abortions in NY) «[Roe v. Wade] made abortion legal up to "viability," a nebulous concept that varies but is commonly defined as 24 weeks. In 2021, Texas enacted a new anti-abortion law (called “SB8”) that made abortion illegal past about six weeks – a time when most people don’t even realize they’re pregnant. Although this law is still being fought in federal courts, it has remained in effect for over eight months»

- 2022-05-04 DKos: Alito cites racist eugenics theory to support overturn of Roe v. Wade «Alito pivots to the white savior role, actually attempting to justify that the removal of reproductive rights somehow aligns with a fight against racism—even citing the same misrepresented statistics used by pro-choice activists advocating for eugenics.» This looks like the abortion is black genocide argument again.

Wade in Rome speech on religious liberty «"Religious liberty is under attack in many places because it is dangerous to those who want to hold complete power," Alito said. "It also probably grows out of something dark and deep in the human DNA -- a tendency to distrust and dislike people who are not like ourselves," he added.» Their liberty is more important than ours. He also claimed that religion promotes "domestic tranquility."

Bob Good: «Republicans should not be negotiating the timeline on when abortion should be permitted or when abortion is OK or when it's OK to take life in the womb. Republicans ought to stand openly, boldly, and unashamedly for life from conception and to protect all life in the womb.» They clearly consider wombs to be their property.
