Liberals on social media were wringing their hands on Wednesday after the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a case involving a Mississippi law which many speculate could result in the court striking down the landmark Roe vs. Wade case.
As Yahoo News reports:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices on Wednesday indicated support for upholding a restrictive Mississippi abortion law in a ruling that would undermine or outright overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing the procedure nationwide.
The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, heard about two hours of oral arguments in the southern state’s appeal to revive its ban on abortion starting at 15 weeks of pregnancy, a Republican-backed law blocked by lower courts. During the arguments, the three liberal justices sternly warned against ditching important legal precedents like Roe v. Wade.
Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in Mississippi, challenged the law and has the support of Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration. A ruling is expected by the end of next June.
…
Conservative justices downplayed the idea that the court must be careful in overturning its own precedents, noting that it has done that in many notable contexts including overturning a notorious 1895 ruling that allowed racial segregation.
Liberals weren’t happy with how the arguments played out:
If you believe that women should have the right choose abortion, today's Supreme Court argument was a wall-to-wall disaster.

It sure looks like there are five votes to overturn Roe: Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. Roberts wants to uphold MS law, but doesn't think the Court needs to overturn Roe.

Y'all. Justice Sotomayor can count votes. She knows where this is headed… either viability is gone or Roe is gone.
Her questions are for the public… to let us know that abortion isn't the end. It's just beginning of the unraveling of these other rights of intimate life.

Conservatives, on the other hand seemed to be celebrating what many believe to be an inevitable victory at the nation’s highest court and likely the end of legal abortion in many states:
Thomas is reeling them in now
He's asking them to tell him where any of this is written in the Constitution
Abortion Beckys are flailing about
They know there is no textual basis for Roe v Wade

We need to end abortion today and then we need to end the pervert indoctrination of our children’s innocence with the forced celebration of the anti-God and any-family agenda.

Chief Justice Roberts compared our abortion viability standard to those in the People's Republic of China and North Korea.
FACT: The United States is one of 7 countries that allows elective abortion after 20 weeks.

I am not a lawyer or a doctor but I always thought as the images in the womb improved as the technology and science improved we would see what Bible Reading Christians have always known. God knows each of us from before our conception and creates each of us in His image. Our attempts to become gods and manage, manipulate or change His will have never ended well. Just ask Adam and Eve or the builders of the Tower of Babel. Is our country and our world a better place since the 1973 Supreme Court put themselves in between God and mankind and the Sacred Act of Creation? Righting this wrong may just be the first step towards returning our Country back to the Hands of the Creator and out of the hands of the politicians.
God claims back His rightful laws.
God said “shed not innocent blood” … that settles it for me … does depraved mankind know better ??
LISTEN UP….GOD Says….LET There Be ADOPTIONS instead of ABORTIONS. A WOMEN’S BODY is NOT Her OWN…it BELONGS to GOD. EVERYTHING on GOD’S Planet EARTH Belongs to HIM. The LORD GOD has SPOKEN. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
To fail to overturn Roe v Wade would be as harmful to this Country and our Constitution as allowing racial discrimination in schools to continue. The Roe v Wade decision is an unlawful travesty and affront to our Constitution.
Roberts is “labeled” as conservative. Nevertheless, he is highly suspect. He has connections to Jeffrey Epstein who arranged the adoption of his two non sibling Irish children
Descant is. Got to love him. Not taking any shit from these lawbreaking liberal bastards which includes you rotten POS media
