Republican Justices Play Politics With ANOTHER Cowardly Abortion Ruling
They're going to kill more women, just not during an election year.

This is not going to be a deep dive because, frankly, this has not been a good day. The Court’s bullshit SEC v. Jarkesy ruling is going to make life for my family very difficult sometime in the not-too-distant future so I’d like to deliver a big “Fuck You” to every Republican voter and alt-left scumbag who said “I won’t vote my fear!” in 2016 when we told you the Court was at stake.
You’re all shit and I wish nothing but ill on you.
But putting aside my personal drama, let’s take a look at the rather obnoxious ruling on abortion the Court delivered today.
Quick background: Republicans are assholes and have been banning abortion everywhere they can get away with it. This has been maiming and killing women across the country, which is exactly what Republicans were hoping for because they are soulless monsters.
One of the responses by the Biden administration has been to lean on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) which requires hospitals with ERs to render assistance to anyone who comes in with a medical emergency and they cannot refuse to examine or treat said person.
This means if a woman comes in and is suffering from a medical emergency whose only remedy is an abortion, the hospital must do it regardless of what state laws prohibit. This is the core principle of the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. Federal law overrides state and local law. Always.
Republicans are super mad about this and tried to have the Supreme Court strike that down. And they want to. Very badly. But we are now in Year Two of the Ovarian Uprising and women are still furiously stomping the GOP in its collective balls. The Republicans on the Court are now worried about the consequences of their rulings.
Two years ago, they said, “We don’t give a fuck!” Since then, their party has lost every single election cycle. Badly.
This is why the Republican extremists punted on the case dealing with Mifepristone, the abortion pill. They want to ban it but doing so now would guarantee a blue tidal wave in November.
And so it is with today’s craven ruling on EMTALA. It’s obvious the Republican justices want to allow red states to let women die in the parking lots of hospitals. They were very clear about this in their ruling. However, they used weasel excuses to punt this case until later. Claiming that Idaho law has changed and circumstances are different blablabla. Therefore, the case as it currently stands is now invalid.
Translation: “We are not going to give the anti-abortion ruling we want to give 4 months before an election. Come back next year and we’ll rule that women can fuck off and die like we’ve been ordered to by the Federalist Society.”
These Republican Justices are blood-soaked monsters who do not rule according to the law but based on pure politics. This cannot be allowed to go on. We have to give Joe Biden another 4 years, the House, and the Senate so they can deal with these extremists otherwise they are going to kill thousands of women in the name of “Jesus.”
There are 130 days until the 2024 election. Vote blue like your life depends on it.

Why any woman, who has not swallowed the “Handmaid” philosophy whole, would vote for a Republican is beyond my comprehension.
Amen, sister, amen. How can they live with themselves?
