[quote]don't talk to me like there's drool coming out of my mouth. these things will not remain isolated for very long. some states won't ban abortion, yes, but then they'll be pushing out a quick patch to fix that part too, and then another little bit, and another little bit, and another little bit, until people's rights are completely eroded while all people did was sit back and say "well aykchually!"[/quote] These are big assumptions amounting to a Slippery Slope argument. It's also fundamentally troubled. "Some states wont ban abortion, yes, but then they'll be pushing out a quick patch to fix that part too..." Who will? That state that just decided not to ban it or the federal government? The SC just removed it as a Federal Decision and left it to the States. It seems unlikely they would reassume that responsibility any time soon. If you mean that State then that would be a decision made state by state. The process of a State changing it's opinion on a matter from one side of an argument towards another is essentially what we in the United States call Politics. The "well aykchually" part was cute. This is, as I said, a Slippery Slope argument and particularly flawed considering what the decision actually said about the other things you brought up. Referring repeatedly to the importance of "potential life" in this decision. This would not apply to Same Sex Marriage. This would not apply to whatever vague threats you see toward Transsexual Persons safety. This would not apply toward Contraceptives. Specifically I refer to this, [hider=From the Draft and the Final Form] "What sharply distinguishes the abortion right from the rights recognized in the cases on which Roe and Casey rely is something that both those decisions acknowledged: Abortion destroys what those decisions call 'potential life' and what the law at issue in this case regards as the life of an 'unborn human being,'" Alito wrote, in a line that was also present in the draft.

Some will have the money to move. Some will not. Some will get financial help. Some will not. Some of that financial help may come from a company which is "winking at people with promises while passing a fat wad to the people responsible for this behind their backs" and some will not. If you feel this strongly about it perhaps help fund it. I believe it was Dick's Sporting Goods that just pledged to help their employees travel to states to acquire an abortion if it is illegal in the state that employee works and lives in. If that's not enough perhaps involve yourself in creating/maintaining a charity that helps provide that. Perhaps Planned Parenthood will try to do so. It may run in to Interstate Commerce Law issues, but that remains to be seen. [quote]dehumanising is seeing the same core group of people on this website constantly wave their hands in the air and feign ignorance about their own beliefs.[/quote] That is not what dehumanizing is. What that is is you further trying to force the strawman you have constructed over people. Though doing that actually is somewhat dehumanizing. Refusing to listen to what people tell you they believe and stand for, instead humming to yourself and insisting once more that "No, Actually This Is What You Believe And You Are Only Pretending To Believe The Things You Profess To Believe, I Can Tell."
