Majorities of Americans say they disagree with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, think it was politically motivated, are concerned the court will now reconsider rulings that protect other rights, and are more likely to vote for a candidate this fall who would restore the right to an abortion, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.
Still, a majority opposes expanding the number of justices who could sit on the Supreme Court.
In overturning Roe on Friday, the Supreme Court reversed 50 years of precedent that had made abortion a right in this country. The right to regulate abortion now is in states' hands, and about half the states have already moved to severely curtail access to an abortion or ban the procedure outright.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - How does that correlate, in the least? Are you disparaging moslems?

PO1 Sam Deel - First, it's "Muslims". Second, no, he's not disparaging them. He's equating Sharia law with the law that the right wants. That would be telling women what they can and can't do. Next, they'll go after same sex marriage, contraception, and anything else they don't agree with.

It is clearly an activist court with more regard for partisan politics than constitutionality or the best interests of the country

PO1 Sam Deel - Do you mean the poor, the elderly? How about the Native Americans that this country has lied to and abused for centuries? Are those the vulnerable citizens you are referring to? What about those kids who won't have lunches this summer because the right is refusing to extend the school lunch program to include them? Are they the vulnerable citizens?

SrA John Monette - There are Laws that are aimed at preventing the abortion of the poor, the elderly and Native Americans. However, there is no wholesale "civil right" to murder them because they are inconvenient. Then again, talk to the Progressive-Left about their Corvid-2020 Retirement Plan. And just what do you think happens to those aforementioned groups with unfettered, out of control legal and illegal immigration? How does the poor, elderly and Native fare with growing scarcity of housing, reduction of social services, education, insanely high used car market, exorbitantly increasing auto insurance rates, increased crime, their past forbidden, their culture being wiped out en masse, and constantly told that they are racist (if of the European American persuasion?
As for those kids not having lunches during the summer...exactly how do they get there when fuel prices are a historic highs? $5 to $9 for a gallon of fuel (minimum round trip) to drive to said school could (still) buy food for lunch at Home. What about the carbon that expends? The environment is of no concern. Doubt they can afford electric cars. And where is the parents in all of this? Are they on the sideline starving? Nope, they are off to buy cigs, pot, sodas, Big Macs and alcohol with their EBT.
By the way, I grew up on the high end of poor with a Father who grew up in the First Great Depression in a neighborhood where my best friends growing up were the Greatest Generation. I have lived in the Poor House, living by myself for the last two years of high school, always in want of food. I have lived in my car for over two weeks in the middle of the Texas Summer. I have Children that are Houma Native, a Son who was assailed by racial attacks and physically assaulted (multiple times) by the 3 other NON-White racial/ethnic groups at a Louisiana charter school, because "Your not Indian. They are all dead." The non-White, educators and staff always looking the other way, even when they choked him out and put him in the hospital. The Police and State of Louisiana blowing it off because no one (Left or Right) really gives two shiites about First Peoples. Unless they claim that they are "Aztec".
So I am not some preachy Left side of the aisle plutocrat telling you how to think, nor am I some Right side of the aisle plutocrat feigning the same. However, I am a Christian, a Native Texan, a Veteran, and an Old Boy Scout. Sanctity of Life...saving Life, is fully ingrained in me. Yeah I am that oddball that, if you were to shoot me and fell off a cliff, breaking your leg in the process, I would be climbing down the cliffside (bullet wound and all) to rescue you. I simply could not do otherwise, even if it cost me my own Life.

I have to respectively disagree. In my life: 25% says it's about time we got rid of a terrible ruling, 5% say it's the end of the world, and 70% don't say anything at all, they don't care.

That 70%, by inaction, throw their lots in with that 5%. Here are some concurrent sentiments.
Proverbs 24:10-12 10 If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! 11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. 12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
"You cannot delegate your personal safety or preparedness. YOU are responsible. Accept The Challenge to prepare yourself - and your loved ones - for any threat or emergency that may come your way."
--- Audentes fortuna juvat
“The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they might.”
--- Samuel Adams
"WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful masters of both Congress & the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
--- Abraham Lincoln
"Those who profess to favor freedom but depreciate agitation are those who want crops without plowing the field, they want rain without thunder and lightning. The struggle may be moral or physical or both, but it MUST be a struggle, power concedes nothing without a demand! It never has and it never will! We must fight for our freedom!”
--- Frederick Douglas
“Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.”
--- Ronald Reagan
"The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
--- Thomas Paine
"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing."
--- Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”
