Alito’s draft ruling would overturn a decision by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that found the Mississippi law ran afoul of Supreme Court precedent by seeking to effectively ban abortions before viability.
Roe’s “survey of history ranged from the constitutionally irrelevant to the plainly incorrect,” Alito continues, adding that its reasoning was “exceptionally weak,” and that the original decision has had “damaging consequences.”
“The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito writes. (snip)
Alito’s skewering of Roe and the endorsement of at least four other justices for that unsparing critique is also a measure of the court’s rightward turn in recent decades. Roe was decided 7-2 in 1973, with five Republican appointees joining two justices nominated by Democratic presidents. (snip)
“Roe expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito writes.
For Jews who can become pregnant, access to abortion services is a religious *requirement*, and has been for thousands of years. Surprised? Let's dig into some of the texts
Anti-choicers spent a decade trying to convince Black women that abortion is Black genocide.

The maternal mortality rate for Black women nationally is 3 times that for white women and in Mississippi, it’s 75 times worse.
So in reality, abortion bans are actually Black genocide.

So just had my 1st phone interview in nearly 27 years with FH Furr - not sure how it went, think I was awkward and clumsy but friendly, took about 15 minutes -they mention they were reaching out to the hiring manager and sending me an assessment survey that takes a while to fill out. I mean I guess the job sounds interesting though not a lot of chances if any to be creative.

Did you decide against Total Wine? I know that the job you'd want would mean commuting to Bethesda.
