Innit fuckin' wild how these ridiculously harsh penalties weren't legally enforceable until 30some hours ago?

They'll likely be challenged in the courts and, in a mildly comedic twist, probably crash against the same clauses in the 14th and 1st amendment that Roe was predicated on - except you don't have to stretch the text. States knowing what you get up to in other states is a gross broach of privacy (enumerated from freedom of assembly), which the states cannot justify. It'd be like if Kansas's drinking age was 18, and Nebraska tried to lock you up for crossing the border to buy a single beer and drink it, completely, within Kansas.

Of course, this both assumes that competent legal entities will raise these obvious challenges... and means that while the question sits in legislative limbo before being endlessly appealed, people will still be subject to at-face unconstitutional nonsense for howevermany years the process takes. Strap in for some brain-drain in the meanwhile!

Laws that criminalize doing that exact thing.

Arkansas has a law called the "Arkansas Human Life Protection Act" that makes the act a felony homicide punishable with 3-10 years in jail and a fine of up to $100,000.
Alabama has the "2019 Human Life Protection Act" makes it a felony "for any person to intentionally perform or attempt to perform an abortion". Doctors who give abortions in Alabama face life in prison with the same conditions as first degree rapists.
Kentucky's trigger laws make the act a class D felony punishable by 1-5 years in jail.
Lousiana's trigger laws make the act punishable with prison time between 1 and 10 years and a fine between $10,000 to $100,000.
West Virginia's trigger law makes that punishable with 3 to 10 years prison time.

So if you want to leave a state to get an abortion, you sure as hell cannot come back unless you're ready for jail time. Innit fuckin' wild how these ridiculously harsh penalties weren't legally enforceable until 30some hours ago?

These are the states that believe abortion is murder, so it's not too surprising. I guess you could say they thought ahead, which is more than I can say for the leftists who just figured Roe Vs. Wade would last forever.

So that's about five states you can't go back to once you leave for an abortion, that gives you 45 left.

You mean all the ones that supported BLM and are constantly screeching about nigs, fags and waman being so oppressed?

Congress could literally enshrine into federal law that women can get abortions. That's the exact job of the legislature when the judicial branch says "this isn't a constitutional right."

Congress isn't supposed to be able to just do whatever it wants, the Constitution and 10th amendment exist expressly to limit it. But if you really jew the commerce/elastic clauses anything's possible?

'Ackshually when it says here we absolutely cannot do this it means that we really can because it could've said we super duper absolutely can't but chose not to use the words' (McCulloch v Maryland).

I’m legitimately surprised it’s Kavanaugh they’re angry at and not Barrett. Usually women go after one of their own far more aggressively than men, especially if they’re going against what the feminist types want. The salt from this is so good, it hasn’t been this bad since Ruth Badger Ginsburg died. I’m actually surprised they haven’t attacked her yet.

She indirectly this while not retiring while Obama was president. Most SJWs on social media are still holding her up as a icon for the movement though.

Except, because of 19th & 20th century federalism, they literally can. Assuming they have the votes, they can amend existing text of the constitution or add new lines altogether and states pretty much have to abide by it regardless. The only thing states can do is select what to enforce with their own agencies, but even then there are ways that feds have around that kind of insubordination.

To all the leftist fucks who quote MLK with his bullshit "Riots are the language of the unheard." rhetoric I offer this rebuttal:

Maybe you're unheard because you have nothing of value to say.

You could just point out how they're horribly misquoting him, and how the sentences leading up to that condemn violence and say how it hurts the movement much more than helps.

Doesn't shut them up, but does cause a small cognitive dissonance aneurysm that's fun to watch.
