Alito's America: Where 'eminent' jurists believe in witches but women are the hysterics

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Here we are in the Year of Our Lord 2022, where those who’d burn witches at the stake are eminent jurists but women are the real hysterics.

Why did Alito cite Sir Matthew Hale?

The latest blow to women’s bodily autonomy came on June 24, when the Supreme Court’s opinion was officially revealed. As the news broke, the first name I searched for wasn’t “Dobbs” or “Roe” or “Wade” – it was for one Sir Matthew Hale, believer of witches, and cited by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion.

In the draft of the opinion leaked in May, Alito indicated that he would be hitching his scholarly wagon to the English judge to illustrate that anti-abortion sentiment has “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment … from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.”

It’s a foundation of Alito’s argument that anti-abortion sentiment goes way back yonder into history. As outlined by "great" and “eminent common-law authorities” like Hale, abortion has a long, storied history of being criminalized.

1. and demons, sorcery, and pagan, demonic practices like yoga, meditation (not prayer)...

"marks of the beast", flouride, rock and roll, Barney, teletubbies, electricity, video games, dungeons and dragons, etc.

All on the christofascist's shit list.

The Imams of the Theocratic Court just have to turn it over to the states and the christian jihadis will have religious police roaming the streets.

...but you're not. Vigilantes claiming bounties on women in Texas was the camel's nose under the tent.
