Hillary Clinton sounds alarm after Supreme Court hearing on emergency abortion care

[RandySF]

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday warned access to abortion care could be further imperiled after oral arguments in a Supreme Court case over an Idaho law restricting abortion.

The court appeared skeptical over whether a federal law ensuring access to life-saving care included access to abortion care, when necessary, though the justices were split by both ideology and gender.

“The MAGA Supreme Court majority appears ready to rule that the right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ doesn’t extend to women with pregnancy complications or who otherwise need abortions,” Clinton wrote on the social media platform X. “This is horrifying, and it is because of Donald Trump.”

Democrats have focused on abortion rights as a political rallying cry for the 2024 race. Abortion ballot measures are planned for multiple swing states, and a recent controversy over abortion access in Arizona has brought that state more into play.

3. What excuse does Jill Stein, Nina Turner, Susan Sarandon, David Sirota,

Cornell West, Brihana Joy Gray, and the other idiots who encouraged people not the vote for Hillary in the general election in 2016?

[Oopsie Daisy]

7. Don't forget Jane Sanders who was eagerly giving "permission" to people to vote for Stein *

* when she was saying: "How we voted not as important as that we voted."

Can you believe that shit?!?!

15. How we vote not as important.

Um ...

[Oopsie Daisy]

19. I know, right? Is this her personally held belief, or a shared belief. It's, um, "concerning" shall we say?

[betsuni]

22. Still no evidence Democrats are corrupt corporatists with the same economic policies as

Republicans ignoring the working/middle classes because beholden to wealthy donors and billionaires, oligarchs control everything and the only possible motivation for anything is money so who you vote for isn't important. The Both Sides religion that continues to harm democracy in the U.S. by discouraging voting for Democrats.

[Oopsie Daisy]

27. That covers it! And, as a bonus, you got all their buzz-words and insults in there.

That's a bingo-card full!

[betsuni]

28. Forgot neoliberal status quo elites, really important ones. My bad.

So many buzzword insults to keep track of.

[electric_blue68]

26. Yikes, hadn't heard this! (Wasn't on DU yet, or had a smart phone)

[Traurigkeit]

18. The hell we are in due to sexism in the United States. What 4 years/8 years of HRC would have made these

United States a beacon for Democracy.

A lost gift, backhanded out of fortune's hand by the people of the U.S.

[PatSeg]

31. They just didn't like her

Well in Jill Stein's case, I think she was paid by Putin.

[Mister Ed]

33. Well, they sure taught that big bad Democratic Establishment a lesson, didn't they? And that's the important thing.

If a few women here or there will have to die in agony while waiting to be airlifted out of their red state for treatment of an acute ectopic pregnancy, well really that's a small price to pay for preserving the ideological purity of the 2016 Hillary haters.

bitter

[Jim_S]

37. We still doing this?

Are we still blaming others for the fact that Hillary should have won but for the fact that she ran a terrible campaign? She was the more qualified candidate for sure but the Democratic machine blew it big time. As a side note: after Bernie Sanders ‘dropped out’ he held more campaign events for her than any person in her campaign.

[Girard442]

4. If the vessel has failed in it's purpose, it is of no value and will be treated thusly.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Tossed out into hospital parking lots to die.

The GOP is treating women like trash to be discarded.

[Ligyron]

34. This horror story needs to be made into commercials running many times a day after say, August.

Examples of real life people and what a return to Trumpist rule will make even worse.

"DO you want your daughter, wife or sister of child bearing age to end up like these poor souls?? All that will happen and worse if the Trump and the GOP...' etc.

Then a blurb of Trump saying HE did this

[Irish_Dem]

35. The SC knows they and their family members will always receive top notch care.

It is the rest of us who have to suffer.

I wish doctors would refuse to treat the GOP SC justices in a medical emergency.

[Irish_Dem]

5. American females denied life saving medical care.

This is horrendous.
Hard to believe it is happening, but here we are.

[BComplex]

10. It's the republican way. This is what they've been living for since the 70's.

And this is the republican supreme court. Not the United States supreme court. Our so called "liberal" justices have to be sick about what's happened.

[Irish_Dem]

11. The GOP orders doctors to let women die.

When their lives could be saved.

The GOP hates women.
It is beyond obvious.

[BComplex]

29. And THIS is exactly what every democrat running for any office in 2024 needs to say!

Your post...everything you said....might finally win every contested seat in the land if the democrats keep repeating it. Your post nailed it.

[Ligyron]

36. Absolutely.

We should be able to clean house with a good ad campaign stressing this abomination.

If we screw this one up...idk, we better not.

[usonian]

8. Well stated!

[bluescribbler]

9. "Democrats have focused on abortion rights as a political rallying cry for the 2024 race."

And the fools in the GOP are continuing to hand it to us We need to keep pounding that drum from now to Nov 5.

[calimary]

23. HELL YEAH!!!

[LakeArenal]

12. So crazy we argue that doctors save lives.

White male politicians think there are degrees or benchmarks for critical care.

It’s critical.

[tavernier]

13. Gynesticians:

Politicians with no gynecological or obstetric degree or license setting policy for women.

(I read that earlier today and it was a perfect definition)

[area51]

30. Planned Parenthood op-ed cartoon

[dalton99a]

14. Kick

[dlk]

16. Private hospitals love to vacuum up tax dollars

But they balk at following federal rules; entitlement on steroids. They are quite full of themselves and think nothing of killing women in service to their entitlement.

[rubbersole]

17. Keep it up, repubs.

The blue tsunami can get bigger. Make American women wear burkas while you're at it. Please.

[RandomNumbers]

20. I am so f*cking tired of these anti-woman, pro-death sh*tstains.

Yes the more evil they are before the election, hopefully the better for decent people to get some control back and reverse course on this crap.

But meanwhile many people will suffer.

And I hope certain people in America wake the f*ck up and realize that they have problems here at home that need tending to. I am getting tired of a certain give-a-shit attitude until something whacks them in their own face, but now it is too late to do anything about it.

[KT2000]

21. If a woman dies

due to lack of an emergency abortion, the man who impregnated her should die as well. Let's level the playing field here. The woman was murdered in that case, no different as if the man was also murdered.

[calimary]

25. Hmmmm... MOST interesting!

Many of the men involved, 19th-century minds who are masterminding and pushing this misogynistic shit, should share some of the pain and suffering they’ve engineered and caused to happen to their female targets.

[Zilli]

24. Seems as if the goal is dead women

This court is NOT supreme but SADISTIC

[PatSeg]

32. In their world

Women are dispensable. Very 19th century thinking.
