you are not against freedom of speech but you are against freedom of speech. your confusion is still high and we need to reduce it.

why throw in Alex Jones? you are speaking in general that the UK doesn't have the silly thing called freedom of speech
you are deflecting. we know the stupid here is you who go around claiming you have a womb and the government should stay out of it, who is claiming women don't have equal rights as men in 2024 because your Gen-Z virus is acting. you are a champion for abortion, you are a champion of the feminist movement but not a champion of common sense.

I said govt funds should not be used, I didn't say they are.

And you now know that government funds are not being used and have not been used since 1980.

Or did you read somewhere that I was asking for government funds to abort that stupid idiot who doesn't know the difference between 'my body my choice' and his stinky mouth impinging with his lies on my liberty to enjoy my life?

If so, then yes, I'll take all the government help offered and some if it ends up with the stupid idiot aborted.

UK has Freedom of Speech. Its just not the same as what Americans would like to claim they have, and as Alex Jones is finding he hasn't, you dullard.

Damn, I even sat in a New York court and put a gag order on dump so he knows his speech isn't as free as he thinks it is. But all that is obviously too complicated for your tiny mind.

One moment UK does not have freedom of speech, and another moment they have. One moment America has freedom of speech, another moment they don't have freedom of speech and another moment their freedom of speech is different from the UK.

The US has the silly notion of freedom of speech, and guns, both of which we definitely thankfully don't have. Would you like to migrate here perhaps?

Americans have gun rights, they are allowed to defend themselves with it. they are not allowed to threaten or hurt others with it.
their free speech rights allow them to criticize the government, religion, etc. You are not allowed to use it to hurt others just like guns are not allowed.

In the UK, if you criticize Islam on Twitter you will be arrested.
you are claiming to have free speech in the UK after you claimed you don't have it in the UK.

And then we fought a war. And slavery is not even left to a country these days not to talk of a state.

Slaves couldn't just up from those states and go to states where there were free people like I can take my body out of a state that wants to own my choice, so sorry, I don't see them as being the same thing. When they run after me and jail me for my choice, we can equate them then.

In fact, I would love those who want to own my body to be stupid and jail me for my choice so I can Rosa Park their stupid asses or even go to war, though I feel the majority would vote them out long before then or a Biden might put my body my choice in to the constitution.

In fact, the way the world is currently leaning, I wouldn't be surprised if one day in the future, my body my choice isn't eventually a right enshrined in the world constitution just like antislavery is. I just hope its sooner rather than not soon.

I think some of your privilege is coloring your argument. Not everyone can afford to just get up and leave where they are living for a short term or even a longer term. And some states are trying to actively prevent their residents from leaving to have abortions.

The Fall of Roe: You Thought Dobbs Was Bad? They’re Coming for Brown v. Board
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/fall-roe-thought-dobbs-bad-030450771.html

Budaatum, this is what we were talking about. The same kind of thinking is still prevalent in regards to the Supreme Court. That somehow it will all work out.

The Democratic presidential nominee in 2016 acknowledges that her party underestimated its adversaries, but doesn’t point the finger at herself.
“We didn’t take it seriously, and we didn’t understand the threat,” Clinton said. “We could have done more to fight.”
“I just think that most of us who support the rights of women and privacy and the right to make these difficult decisions yourself, you know, we just couldn’t believe what was happening.”
“Our side was complacent and kind of taking it for granted and thinking it would never go away.”

Brown v. Board seems to be next. It's clear from Alito's comments and Thomas's recent comments. I don't care about Basilico or Bemeruca cheering it on, they don't live in the US. But, people like raumdeuter who have actual things to lose? It's sad.

Which all brings us back to Brown v. Board of Education and where the right goes next.
In Justice on Trial, an examination of Brett Kavanaugh’s elevation to the Supreme Court, conservative talking heads Carrie Severino, of JCN, and Mollie Hemingway, of the Federalist, trashed Brown.
According to Severino and Hemingway, social science wrongly played a role in the court’s calculus. They declared that such decisions “may have been correct in their result but were decided on the basis of sociological studies rather than legal principles.”
Notice the word “may.”
Fast forward to May 2024, when Thomas—who joined Alito’s opinion in Dobbs—turned his fire on Brown.
“Such extravagant uses of judicial power are at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design,” he wrote in a concurrence, sustaining a South Carolina congressional map in the face of voting rights challenge.

My privilege, lol. Will those states kidnap pregnant women who want to abort but don't tell the state?

Banning abortions has consequences. Some will abandon their newborns or even kill them or be killed by their foetus. And many people wouldn't choose those states to live or work or set up businesses there, which will bankrupt those states. Then we'll see how those states handle the consequences.

Point is, if the majority in the state don't like abortion bans, they can vote out abortion ban legislatures and vote in pro-abortion legislatures. And if anti-abortionist are the majority, well those against get to live with it or campaign to change the leaders or move elsewhere.

We will keep records of those who die from their unaborted foetus because they were denied the healthcare that may have prevented them from dying.

See what the article described as the consequence of abolishing Roe v Wade.

"In the 2022 midterms, Dobbs cost the Republicans their “red wave.” In 2024, it may lead to another Trump loss and Democrats retaking the House. Right now, things are that close."

What do you think would happen if they abolish Brown v. Board? Would your alma segregate?

Many states have put abortion on the ballot and the anti abortion laws lost even in deep red Kansas

So taking it to the state has been a good thing, In states where they want abortion they are supporting it with their votes and making it into law. Which is the essence of democracy

What do you think would happen if they abolish Brown v. Board?

What would happen? That goes back to my point.. the Supreme Court. The Democrats may retake the House, but with the Filibuster in the Senate, they would need 60 votes to change anything. They don't have that.

The Right/Republicans have captured the Supreme Court. They have a 6-3 majority of unelected justices who seem not to be concerned about rules and ethics who have lifetime appointments.
So, why care about legislation where the Supreme Court can legislate from the Supreme Court? Why care about free elections where the Supreme Court can uphold things like racial gerrymandering, given Republicans seats they wouldn't have won. The Republicans don't need to care about these things anymore because they hold the Judicial branch that has accumulated power unto itself. And as long as they hold enough seats to make sure the Congress is not functional, not able to pass laws, they can just sit back and allow the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench. That's the reason the Dems have to get serious and take back the power the Supreme court has accumulated.

I understand and see my privilege. So whether my alma mater or similar schools segregate is not the issue. The issue is that will affect people without that privilege, people without the ability to make different choices. Just like the ending of Affirmative Action has already affected minority student admissions this year. The playing field is still not fair. Racism/Institutionalized racism is still alive. Talk to any successful minority. And this will affect those on the margins, making a more inclusive society further away.

You sometimes make it seem as if something has to directly affect/touch me for me to care.

There might be a state where the majority are anti abortion then good for them they should put it on ballot and see if they win. If they win no need forcing them to be pro abortion and vice versa as well

With abortion majority of the states where it has been put to vote have sided with abortion, this is a better process than just a fiat outlawing it one way or the other

who did this man mentioned?

JK Rowling is a special case that proves you like autocracy.

what the man posted and JK is a clear example that you guys don't have freedom of speech. so do say you have it one moment and you don't another moment. the US you can post it on your property or your social media and no police will visit your house.

There is not a single lie JK Rowling has said and yet they wanted to arrest her.

Scotland’s Hate Crime Act may have done us all a favour
-------

The police have been swamped with thousands of complaints, many vexatious, all of which they are pledged to investigate. JK Rowling has blown the doors off with her ‘arrest me’ tweets, but the First Minister, Humza Yousaf, attracted more hate crime complaints in the first two days than she did. SNP Ministers like Siobhan Brown have been ridiculed for misrepresenting their own law.

So it may come as a surprise that I now think the HCA may have been a rather good thing. Indeed, it may inadvertently have liberalised free speech and exposed the progressive authoritarians who seem who dominate political life in Scotland.

The police are now clearly hesitant of arresting anyone for hate crime in case it becomes a huge public row and leads to court action by women’s groups. The act outlaws ‘stirring up hatred’ against transwomen but gives no similar protection to biological women.
