What I find interesting is that so many people who are engaged in infertile lifestyles are interested in this subject.
  1. It's pretty selfish to only care about things that affect you. I'm sorry if that's how you navigate the world.
  2. The overturning of Roe is bad, regardless of whether or not it affects you personally.
  3. A court that can take away one group's civil rights can take away your civil rights.
  4. Roe itself has been used as specific precedent for other cases, including but not limited to cases pertaining to contraception, many sex acts, and same-sex marriage. Thomas himself says in his concurring opinion striking down Roe that these cases should be reexamined.
I'm well aware, but it's not illegal in the entire US.
That's what I said.

Abortion is not "illegal in the US." It is now up to each state to decide.
And there are going to be quite a few states with either people leaving or dying in dirty motels. “Pro-lifers” don’t care about the harm they are about to cause

I understand that, but it seems like there are more infertile people that care about it than people that can actually reproduce.

Yeah, thats valid as long as people take principled stands but thats not what I am observing neither.

Interesting, thanks for the inforamtion. It seems as we make sexuality and gender center of our identities we get more victorian about it.

This part is the most terrifying part to me. It’s proof that no right is safe. It’s worse knowing the same people cheering this on will definitely be cheering on every other right being stripped away.

Clearly you don't if you're still trying to make a point about it.
I am making a point that unprincipled people engage in that behaviour.
What are you yammering about?
Well you have in a cluster of different personalities people who take the center points of culture (like sexual identity) and use them to signal their purity to establish moral high ground.
