If they overturn Roe,
wouldn't that overturn Lawrence and ultimately Griswold? If you don't have a right to privacy for an abortion, then you wouldn't have the right to privacy for consensual sodomy, or birth control too?

Am I off base here? Strike down one, you strike down them ALL?

2. They will try
If they succeed on Roe, birth control will be next. Count on it.

3. Overturning Griswold is the ultimate aim of the moonbats, yes
Why should you be surprised? This is what everybody was warned about b oth in 2000 and in 2004.

too late now, Griswold will go down. Count on it.

Theocracy is guaranteed now.

7. Yep. If you read the position papers, Griswold has always been the target.

When this is through, the only people left with any 'right to privacy' will be energy CEOs who have secret meetings with the Vice President.

4. They'll never seriously try to overturn Roe.
Just like they'll never catch Osama bin Laden.

In both cases, it's worth more to them as a boogeyman than as an accomplishment.

They've made an industry out of Roe v Wade. It won't be overturned.

6. I don't agree with that
I troll those "christian" family sites. They are just waiting for the day. They have money and influence. THEY will challenge it themselves.

9. Bullshit.

I would say if they DON'T make a good swing at overturning Roe, they're fucked- they've been promising these rabid fundies for decades that the minute they had the chance, they would overturn Roe, let them start putting doctors and women in jail, and generally stop people from having sex for non-procreative purposes, which is the real goal.. if they don't 'put out', as it were, now that they have the opportunity, there will be mutiny in far right wacko-land.
