Lol 'ignore them'? Tell that to the millions of lives this decision will affect. They don't have the ability to just ignore them. Go fuck yourself.
Except we can ignore the Supreme Court. It's been done before, there is precedent for that. And the Supreme Court has no way to enforce its rulings.
Are you... are you kidding? This will make access to the drugs impossible for everyone. Drug manufacturers will stop making it. Doctors will stop prescribing it, pharmacies will stop carrying it, and FAR MORE WOMEN THAN YOU REALLY KNOW will be forced to carry and birth children they cannot have or do not want.
The Supreme Court has power. I really hope you're an astroturfing troll and not this daft and fucking dumb. This kind of apathy and downplaying is EXACTLY WHY all this fucked up shit is happening.
Fucking troll.
No I'm not joking, presidents have ignored Supreme Court decisions in the past, and so can states. Look it up if you don't believe me.
And I'm not apathetic, i am suggesting that this is what we should do when the supreme court decides to try to ban abortion in the country.
This is not a right, I'm willing to let someone just decide I don't have.
Don't listen to him, he's too emotional to deal with the matter rationally right now.
We should distribute the pill online so people can still get it when they need.
Jesus fuck... so your best solution is black market abortion pills? Have you looked at history? It's so dangerous.
I''ll be joining protests. I'll be canvassing for politicians and people I believe in. I'll be supporting organizations working to repeal this and allow safe, legal, regulated medications.
I'll not be putting my families safety and livelihood at risk by joining black market drug rings.
NOBODY should be expected to pit their lives and families lives at risk for other people. It's great when they do, but we call people like that heroes because it's not normal, and it's not normal to expect normal people with families to do that.
Also no need for insults, but since you started it, go shove a cactus up your fucking ass, moron.
Or you could invest a fifth of a third of a quarter of the emotional energy you waste taking out your anger on allies and organize to smuggle the pill in so people have access to it regardless of what the courts say.
You know, like an intelligent mature person
So start a drug ring selling black market abortion pills? LOL.
Yeah. Illegal activities like that are vitally important to maintaining liberty in the face of a tyrannical government. See prohibition in the 30's for a much tamer example.
Technically anyone who smuggles books or reading material into North Korea (or food, for that matter) is running an illegal ring of their own, but you don't bat an eye at that, do you?
And it would work for mifepristone, and birth control in general, because it would not only be an extremely high-demand low-supply product, but it's also vitally important for people's health and they need it regardless of what the law says. So it's not just morally just to do it; we actually have an extremely large obligation to set up such a network.
