a handful of states have recently brought up bills that could potentially challenge Roe v Wade. This one seems dead set to do that. Although, I’d be surprised to see Roberts take up such a case so close to an election... although, these bills soon to be laws could be used as a way to increase voter turnout (for adding certain types of justices to the SC). What impact might this have on the 2020 election and local races?

Me either. At least, I hope it doesn’t hold up. But how well will it hold up? Or how much of it will be rejected by the SC? I think It’s a win win for the conservative movement.

1. It might actually overturn Roe v Wade.
2. Even if the SC doesn’t completely overturn it, they can essentially gut Roe v Wade. That’s part of the reason why I think alabama made it so severe. Now there’s breathing room between all out ban and the current statute. Using this Alabama law, you can informally ban abortion without formally banning it.
3. If they do little to change or adjust abortion, it can be used as fodder to get the rubes to the polls in 2020 to maintain the White House and Senate. With Roe hanging by a thread, old Christian rubes would like nothing more than to finish Roe off. And since young people don’t vote (it’s too hard and waiting in line just takes too long), I wouldn’t be surprised to see record high republican turnout. Due to the structure of the EC, you could see record high democratic turnout and still end up blown out by the EC as long as republicans win key midwestern states.

While where I sit I find this funny... obviously there's a disconnect between the humor in the message here and the reality. Being anti-abortion could easily be argued as being FAR less terrified of vaginas and what they can do than people who think of them simply a dick pockets. Vaginas can be used for sexual pleasure and they can also be used as a birth canal. I'm sure a few clever people have found numerous other uses for them as well.

I'm not really trying to challenge you, gandalfe, I just sort of reject this meme-based approach to political dialogue that makes jokes that are disconnected from the reality that negates the humor in them.
