Wade decision that guaranteed the right to abortion nationwide was leaked.

(8,178 posts)I'm thinking presumably it isn't to be held in a public forum, or open to the public.
And I don't see Alito cancelling any opportunity to confer with any regular or emergency circuit court conference.
No doubt it will be teleconference via zoom or other on line platforms.
I'm wondering if the "hackers" will attempt and succeed in hacking into the conference and then leak the audio/video to the public.
that would my heart sing for a minute or two.

An anti-science hysteria was on full display during oral arguments. Justice Sam Alito hounded the solicitor general about the alleged risks of vaccines while justice Neil Gorsuch likened COVID-19 to the flu.

COVID Is an Emergency. To SCOTUSs Conservatives, Its Also an Opportunity.
Where the liberal justices see sickness and death, the conservatives see a chance to crush government.

(169,760 posts)Even when physicians have told them over and over and over that what they keep claiming is some "earliest" detection of what they purport is a "heartbeat" is not coming from a "heart" at all, because A HEART HAS NOT FORMED YET.
By JULIE CARR SMYTH and KIMBERLEE KRUESIMay 14, 2021
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Dr. Michael Cackovic has treated his share of pregnant women. So when Republican lawmakers across the U.S. began passing bans on abortion at what they term the first detectable fetal heartbeat, he was exasperated. Thats because at the point where advanced technology can detect that first flutter, as early as six weeks, the embryo isnt yet a fetus and it doesnt have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus beginning in the 11th week of pregnancy, medical experts say. You cannot hear this flutter, it is only seen on ultrasound, said Cackovic, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Ohio State Universitys Wexner Medical Center, where some 5,300 babies are born each year.
Yet bans pegged to the fetal heartbeat concept have been signed into law in 13 states, including Cackovics home state of Ohio. None has taken effect, with all but the most recently enacted being struck down or temporarily blocked by the courts. Now, one of the most restrictive, signed by Tennessees Republican Gov. Bill Lee last year, goes before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday.
Proponents of these so-called heartbeat bills are hoping for a legal challenge to eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where they look for the conservative coalition assembled under President Donald Trump to end the constitutional right to abortion protected under the high courts landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. The notion that abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy stops a beating heart helped propel the measures to rise above persistent constitutional concerns in the states that have backed them.
The concepts originator, Ohio anti-abortion activist Janet Folger Porter, spoke openly about her strategy in an email to supporters last year deftly side-stepping whether the packaging of the bill was medically true. The slogan, Abortion stops a beating heart, has long been an effective way to highlight the injustice and inhumanity of abortion, Porter wrote of the states law, the Ohio Heartbeat Protection Act. And, she found, hearts were easy to market.

(169,760 posts)I mean it's basic middle school health class stuff!!! And they can't even get that right.
It takes at over 2 1/2 months (10 weeks) for an actual "fetus" to form, which is well AFTER "6 weeks".

That may not be the original quote, but that's my version of it.

Repealing Roe v Wade isn't going to go the way SCOTUS or the GOP thinks it's going to go.
Play with fire, get burned. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Expect us.
