AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

i don’t treat it as legitimate lol it’s bs. But the scope of the ruling isn’t abt what the legislature is allowed to do meaning that the dodds decision doesn’t stop a right to a abortion law from getting passed. With a dem president and a dem congress they have every opportunity to pass it. If the courts wanted to throw it out it would be an entirely different case

Well yeah they can pass one, but it won't stay on the books longer than it takes to get to SCOTUS. Stacking the Court and passing a law must happen together.

I don’t think we should necessarily expect a scotus ruling that abortion is murder just yet. I agree that we need to stack the court but for other reasons. I think it would be ok to pass a law and see what happens tbh

They won't call it murder, they will pick somewhere in the Constitution that making abortion legal is a power belonging to the states. State Supreme Courts have a lot of partisan morons, SCOTUS only has two, the other 4 are smart enough to avoid the murder card for now.
