Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Except they have been, on a state by state basis, which is really the only legal way besides amending the US Constitution, which won’t happen on this issue.
So abortion bans are going to remain a Red State Problem forever. Got it.
Can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not? But pretty much
Cool. I'll just file "10 year olds being forced to bear their rapists' offspring" with all the other Red State Problems that the national party has no plan or desire to fix, ever.
I’d love to hear your ideas to fix it when it’s unconstitutional to do so. Short of amending the constitution, what are the options?
For the record, no party has proposed a viable solution, regardless of how mainstream that party is
Well, once we have a majority of any size, we kill the filibuster. We use our majority to supersede the judiciary act of 1869 and increase the size of the Supreme Court. We then put additional justices on the supreme court and repeal Dobbs, thereby reinstating Roe.
Then we codify Roe so Republicans will have a harder time getting rid of it. Then we have a popular accomplishment to run on, a majority not hamstrung by the Jim Crow Filibuster, and a Supreme Court that isn't ruling in bad faith against the American people.
Or we continue to timidly do nothing, or worse, blame the victims because they live in red states and therefore need to suffer for committing the sin of being outnumbered.
Ah, court packing by one side. What could go wrong when the other side regains control?
Ah, court packing by Republicans. Let's sit back and do nothing when it happens.
In any event, I answered your question. You wanted to know how to get Roe back without a constitutional amendment. It's a more feasible idea than giving up forever on republicans' victims in red states because fixing things is work.
Sorry, ig I was hoping for a realistic idea. We could also murder every GOP member of congress. Plenty of implausible ideas out there
You'll dismiss all ideas but "give up" as unrealistic.
