.are we heading back to the days people staying in unhappy (sometimes abusive) marriages because of the stigma attached to divorce?

Abusive relationships are one thing.  That aside, can't tell you how many people I know who ended their marriages (usually women) and found out that the grass is not greener on the other side.  I think sticking with a marriage through the ups and downs by and large is a good thing.  Especially when there are kids still at home.

For the record, I never thought you were serious. Others in here however....

Unless it's Deshaun Watson. That's a little overboard.

Some of the states with the more extreme trigger laws (I’ll have to check again which ones, maybe Georgia? Bama? Missouri? Again I’ll have to check) will now define life as beginning at conception and have language making it illegal to do anything that decreases or obstructs fertilization and further development of the embryo. 
During IVF, if it is successful, multiple eggs are fertilized.  So that’s now a problem as it will now be illegal to NOT use every fertilized egg. 

 These laws will also make Plan B illegal.

Gothca.... and then the question becomes what happens to the extra embryos.  Thank you.

This gets into a bigger discussion that I am not able to fully engage in right now - being in the kitchen making paco a sandwich and caring for baby girl and all…  but does go back to focus on family and family values. People want a world without judgement or standards and want to have it all and be able to do it all in the process - and that’s never going to be a successful formula. The solution from the other side is, in part, abortion. But it’s never going to be acceptable to those who believe in the sanctity of life. And round and round we go. 

@all  I was told it is a hamburger with goat cheese today.  In case anyone was wondering.

Well, looks like some of those liberal fears are well founded.  Let the games continue!

Justice Clarence Thomas suggests court reconsider contraception, same-sex marriage rulings

In a separate opinion, Thomas expressed his support for revisiting other Supreme Court rulings that he and other conservatives believe should be left to individual states.

Not banned. States are free to do what they want now.

Some will go farther. Some want to make fertilization the definition of life.

Which brings me back..>

 

Quote

See the really hardcore people will tell you life begins at fertilization. Fertilization, when the sperm fertilizes the egg. Which is usually a few moments after the man says "Gee, honey, I was going to pull out but the phone rang and it startled me." Fertilization.
But even after the egg is fertilized, it's still six or seven days before it reaches the uterus and pregnancy begins, and not every egg makes it that far. Eighty percent of a woman's fertilized eggs are rinsed and flushed out of her body once a month during those delightful few days she has. They wind up on sanitary napkins, and yet they are fertilized eggs. So basically what these anti-abortion people are telling us is that any woman who's had more than more than one period is a serial killer! Consistency. Consistency. Hey, hey, if they really want to get serious, what about all the sperm that are wasted when the state executes a condemned man, one of these pro-life guys who's watching **** in his pants, huh? Here's a guy standing over there with his jockey shorts full of little Vinnies and Debbies, and nobody's saying a word to the guy. Not every ejaculation deserves a name!

weren't there a couple states proposing to make it illegal for residents to travel to another state to get an abortion?  we could see some crazy scenarios like that.

It's CVON on a Friday.  In a few pages there will be talk of drag queens, CRT, Jan 6th, gas prices...fasten your seatbelt.

I would think there are well founded constitutional protections that would render a statute prohibiting this unconstitutional, although this is very likely a moot point in this day and age in that no state would enact such legislation.

There's no way that holds up legally.
