Well now that it is overturned, are people going to be having less sex now, or are they going to be having roughly the same amount but just be more protective or picky about it?

This is going to affect women who are pregnant and have pregnancy complications and they would have to be near death for the doctors to do anything and this will also affect women who miscarry and to get medical treatment for it. Doctors will be too afraid to do anything about it to risk being sued by the state.

Women will need to travel to a abortion legal state to seek medical attention with their pregnancy if they have a complication or go travel there to get an abortion because they don't want to have a baby and there are women already deciding to not have another child and too bad for their republican parents or in laws. They will miss out on having another grand baby.

The doctors won't get sued. They'll probably get thrown in jail, possibly forever.

Some of the new anti-abortion laws including the one in Texas allows for anyone to sue anyone who that provides abortion services or helps somebody obtain an abortion. Under Texas law, nothing is supposed to happen to a woman that receives an abortion.

Rioters in downtown Portland graffiti, smash windows following Supreme Court abortion case: 'Death to SCOTUS'

Quote:
A large group of rioters was seen in downtown Portland, Oregon smashing windows and vandalizing several buildings Saturday night. The group also graffitied several messages targeting the U.S. Supreme Court.

The group, made of about 100 people, were yelling and chanting as they marched down the streets when they would periodically stop to destroy and graffiti objects.

"Death to SCOTUS," one black spray-painted message said.

Members of the group smashed several windows of a Starbucks Coffee building and others were seen destroying a Tesla car.

As the night continued, a smaller group of individuals separated from the larger mob reportedly no longer wishing to be a part of their violent actions.

Just another weekend in Portland

Supreme Court abortion protests: LAPD arrests suspect for attempted murder of police officer
Quote:
A California man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after he allegedly attacked a police officer during a protest of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent abortion reversal, police said.

Michael Ortiz, 30, and Juliana Bernado, 23, were among those arrested during a clash with police officers in the downtown Los Angeles area Friday as people gathered to protest the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said.

"The vast majority of those involved were peaceful and law-abiding, however, a much smaller group of individuals took to the streets with the intention of creating chaos and destruction," the LAPD said.

Authorities said as the protests stretched into the night, members of the crowd began "throwing fireworks and other makeshift weapons" at the officers.

Ortiz was allegedly among those members and stands accused of throwing a makeshift flamethrower at an officer, who had to be treated for burns. He was charged with the attempted murder of a police officer, KTLA reported.

At some point in the night, Bernado allegedly attempted to take an officer’s baton and was subsequently taken into custody, the New York Post reported. She faces possible charges for resisting arrest.

GOP Rep. Miller, speaking alongside Trump, calls SCOTUS ruling 'victory for white life'

Quote:
Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said at an Illinois Trump rally Saturday that the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was a "historic victory for white life."

"President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday," Miller said.

A spokesperson for Miller told The Associated Press the line was a "mix up of words."

"You can clearly see in the video ... she's looking at her papers and looking at her speech," Isaiah Wartman, the spokesperson, told the AP.

Let's hope the Democrats will mobilize with those who right's were just trampled on and with those whose rights are now under threat to defeat Republicans in the mid-term elections. Those on the right see overturning Roe vs Wade as a victory but it could have unforeseen consequences for them.

As a passive observer from Wales ...how in the living f**k did one of the most advanced nations in the world take such a massive step backwards?

I'm surprised people here aren't making more noise about how pregnancy and childbirth are both ALWAYS risks to a woman's health and life, even if she's completely healthy. Abortion ban literally puts every woman's health at risk in a country with expensive health care.

I don't live in US, but if I did, I would definitely withhold from having sex at all until I was sure I could take care of a baby if I did get pregnant, and I'd discuss about it with the potential sex partner first, too. If the man wasn't ready to carry responsibility (=paying half the bills the pregnancy and child would cause, including during the pregnancy plus provide for the baby until adulthood) then no sex for him.

And before you ask why won't all women just do this instead of having sex with men: they could, but for some who're used to having basic human right of experiencing their sexuality freely with other willing adult, it'll feel like things important to them have been taken away from them against their will. It would be like discouraging or forbidding people from doing any sports due to higher risks of getting injured.
