SCOTUS tells anti-abortion assholes to fuck off re: "Kinetic Abortion Clinic Engagement" 🥳😀

[RobDownSouth]

The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge to the existing 25-year old decision establishing 8 foot "buffer zones" around patients seeking to enter abortion clinics.

Planned Parenthood had opened a new state-of-the-art abortion center in Carbondale Illinois to handle the dramatic influx of patients from nearby states where the white patriarchy had completely banned abortion after the USSC legislated from the bench that abortion was somehow now a quote state decision unquote.

Christians in Carbondale felt a moral obligation to engage in what is now called "Kinetic Abortion Clinic Engagement", consisting of informing "Godless sluts" seeking abortions the error of their whorish ways, wanting to block entrances to clinics, getting as close as 1 inch from a patients face, screaming at patients from less than a foot away about how they are going to Hell and generally refusing to allow patient passage until the patient accepted a leaflet featuring photos of bloody fetuses and/or accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

The usual Christian Nationalist behaviors, in other words.

The vote to NOT hear the case that would have overturned existing buffer law was decided 5-2, meaning the law stands on Constitutional grounds now (purported Lit Lawyer HisArpy will instruct us as to what the Court REALLY meant once he recovers from his spinal surgery). The two dissenting "justices" were, of course, Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, who rarely pass up an opportunity to "legislate from the bench".

A small but vital victory for America against the rightwing's ongoing Project Gilead, aka the MAGA War on Women

I try to imagine if I could do it.
If the former Christian me could stand outside somewheres and yell, berate, and physically confront someone for getting personal healthcare. The Jesus I worshiped hung out with ho’s, washed the feet of commoners, and healed lepers. I would need to make sure my house and affairs were sparkling and immaculate before I could. It isn’t/never could be. Goddamn your beliefs.

If you’re a Christian or deeply religious and feel I’m wrong then your affairs aren’t in order because you’re disagreeing with me while on a porn site.

It's worth remembering there is a federal law against protesting abortion clinics "with violence" that mandates at least a one year sentence in federal prison in addition to any state penalties. Two women, both notorious "Clinic Blockade specialists" were convicted in 2024 of the "violence" provision. One had broken the ankle of a clinic nurse pushing the nurse's desk against the front entrance of the clinic and the other slammed an open window down on the wrist of a patient attempting to climb through the window because the door was blocked. The trial was a shitshow. Both accused women cried and said both events were "accidents", and besides it was actually the nurse and the patient who were at fault for interfering with their task of doin' the Lord's work.

Not surprisingly, they were convicted. Each got two year prison sentences, but could be released after 1 year for "good behavior". They were both gobsmacked. Each had 7-8 prior convictions that had resulted in mere house arrest for 30 days.

After serving six months of hard time, Mango Mussolini commuted their sentences to "time served" on the first day of his regime, sending a clear message to the anti-abortion right that clinics were once again "fair game".

I'm thinking of your President Eisenhower sending in the 101st Airborne to protect the Little Rock Nine from harassment by people who felt they had a "moral obligation" to keep dark-skinned people from being educated. In another six or seven decades, how will they look on these people who feel a "moral obligation" to keep women from their doctors?

The original Jesus was so different than his so called followers today that he would castigate them as modern Sanhedrin vipers.
