SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

Except that the pay gap doesn't exist at all, when you actually get down to the accounting numbers, and it's a myth to begin with once the monetary value of the non-monetary benefits gets weighed in.

So it's not even a matter of law or the Constitution, it's a matter of your wife believing straight up lies that can be disproven with just cursory court case research.
She is sadly of the Tik Tok generation.
I am getting her off it relying on that for news and that I know a thing or two.

When you factor in maternity leave and medical benefits women probably get compensated at greater amounts than men on average.

I had three lady boomers working for me at one time and all three got ovarian cancer within the same year or so (what the hell is it with women from Hamilton Ontario erupting with cancer or diabetes or mental illness? Good lord. You'd think the Florida climate would help there...). Florida Blue was probably seething at us over that good lord.

Lol, Twitter is bitching and moaning that it wouldn't have cared if the coach was Muslim or Jewish. That's an interesting deflection.

"Hey, a coach should be able to lead prayer at a school event."
"No religion in schools or government! REEEE!"
"The Court says he can!"
"Well...they wouldn't have cared if he weren't Christian!"
"But you're the ones banning it..."

My money is that the country is going to have a pretty massive religious revival with in our life times. I mean a serious religious revivial. So I think their going to have to adjust.

No. She does not. I definitely would like sources and stuff to help show her this.
Well, Roe v. Wade itself was decided in 1973.

The first woman to sit on the Supreme Court (Sandra Day O'Connor) was not appointed until 1981, by Reagan.

Obviously, that meant that all seven of the Justices who ruled in favor of legislating a right to abortion out of thin air and from the bench in '73 were men.

On the flipside Amy Coney Barrett, one of the Justices who voted to overturn Roe just now, is a woman. (A mother, certainly - to seven children at that - but also a former clerk to Scalia and appellate judge before Trump put her on SCOTUS, so she's hardly some inexperienced 'handmaiden'-type stooge who has no qualifications for the job - ironically that definition would better fit the liberal Elena Kagan, who never served as a judge in any lower court before being promoted to SCOTUS by Obama) And if I remember my math classes correctly, 1 is an infinitely greater number than 0, so there can be no denying that more female Justices supported striking Roe down than to impose it on the country in the first place.

If it matters, one of the original Justices who decided in favor of abortion was a black man - Thurgood Marshall. But then so is Clarence Thomas, one of the Justices who voted with Barrett to overturn Roe, so that part of the diversity calculus evens out.

It's not that they think Clarence Thomas did this by himself, it's that he's black, so they're focusing their fury at him because they see him as a race traitor. It also reflects their inherent racism that they would rather focus on him than on the woman who also voted to overturn it.

Ah yes, the ol' "if you don't act like us in basically being zealots or animals, you're an Uncle Tom" argument. smh And Whites are supposed to be the most racist in America, right? /s

There's also some things he argued in his concurrence about substantive due process being the wrong way to apply the Constitution, and acknowledging that if SCOTUS changed its tune on substantive due process, that would undermine other cases that relied on the concept in their decisions. And some of those cases are sacred to the Left, like Obergefell and Griswold. The majority opinion, and Kavanaugh's concurrence, specifically refrained from going after substantive due process and said those cases are not in the crosshairs after Roe. So to be fair going that step further made Thomas seem even more threatening to the Left, and more of a target than the other justices.

That doesn't excuse the disgusting racist language being used against Thomas, of course. Another high tech lynching.

You gotta love how old school southern Boss "now see here boy, we don't want no uppity thoughts out here." Mentality of white upper middle class kitchen liberals who think they can treat black Americans and the rest of us "minorities" like that.

While some black people are also jumping in on it, it seems it's mostly white liberals. They seem happy enough when black people vote the way they want, but they get PISSED of a black man has ideas of his own.

Most of what I've seen comes from America's Blacks: every time there's a Black celebrity, or lawyer, or police chief, or anyone that doesn't act like a stereotype (such as in the BLM rioters burning down Black businesses. cough Yeah) or toe the line they're supposed to buy into, they get called an "Uncle Tom" or a "race-traitor" en masse by their own ethnicity/population.

It can be hilarious in some situations because these brain dead morons call Candace Owens, as an example, a "White supremacist". She's Black.

It's very simple if the Dems lose even 30 percent of the black vote they are toast.
