Reposted from Susan Rinkunas

Very Smart Reporters are going to act like US v. Skrmetti only implicates gender-affirming care for trans kids. In fact, it could allow sex discrimination in many other kinds of medical care. Yes, like birth control. Me in @tnr.bsky.social on how our rights are intertwined:

No more plastic surgery or Botox injections. Be careful what you ask for…..

Not could, WILL.

Why do some folks think they should have a veto on other folks healthcare, lifestyle, choices that are not threatening/impactful on others?

silkgirl101.bsky.social•79 days ago

This is bigotry masquerading as law. 🌊🏞️🟧🌈🇺🇦🇺🇸💙

3k0bolds.bsky.social•85 days ago

I believe the legal question at the core of Skrmetti is "can a state ban healthcare."
They're setting us up for worse to come.

Can Joe Biden remove the corrupt Supreme Court Justices md replace them before he leaves office? Asking for a worried nation. 😟

blueshirt47.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is part and parcel of a disturbing trend of removing rights from individual citizens and delivering them to the State; making the citizens vassals of the State, which, I believe (as an originalist) is antithetical to the intent of the framers.

It seems bodily autonomy may not fall under "pursuit of happiness" anymore.

magpie0616.bsky.social•85 days ago

P25 authors have always stated that they want to get rid of Birth Control pills,they have never hidden the fact that they think it's a form of abortion,I think the USA is in for a very rude awakening and I fear it may be too late to stop some of your basic rights going.

magpie0616.bsky.social•85 days ago

This has taken a generation of planning,from the Judges & Legislators,Congress & Senate seats,right up to the highest court in the land,everything is in place,the useful populist idiot in the WH.You don't have guardrails any more,they're gone,they have total control and don't care what others think.

magpie0616.bsky.social•85 days ago

As for the MSM,the less said about those idiots the better,the fact that approx 55% voted for a convicted sex offender and had surrogates on every news show and in every paper,with no push back is a disgrace to the word Journalism.But hey at least you might get that cheap bread & eggs right.

First thing to be at risk: tubal ligation.

martyolliff.bsky.social•85 days ago

Any "limits" are just a wedge.

texastwinkie.bsky.social•85 days ago

I fully expect SCOTUS to do the absolutely most hurtful thing for trans kids and adults. Pain is their pleasure. Marginalization and humiliation is their goal.

martinstone.bsky.social•85 days ago

It is limited to children. Adults pronounce it "spaghetti"

directactiondistro.bsky.social•85 days ago

Follow @4thievesvinegar.bsky.social on all their platforms to find out how to make you’re own diy hrt! Whatever they decide, we are ungovernable.

mischarn.bsky.social•85 days ago

Absolutely this. When SCOTUS rules for Skrmetti, they’ll be further enshrining in law the notion that nobody has bodily autonomy—that government has ultimate say over what we do with our bodies and our lives.

lavendersalve.bsky.social•85 days ago

Party of small government at it again

gideon-in-tears.bsky.social•85 days ago

My concern is that this is all tending toward ONLY SOME bodies not having legal autonomy—cis White men of sufficient economic standing will continue to have legally protected autonomy.

metabeth.bsky.social•85 days ago

Absolutely. There's also the sneaky tradition of applying such legislation to other things not contemplated in the original, because they can broaden the definition to "similar" cases.

tobellz.bsky.social•85 days ago

Gotta admit the Republican reactionaries hell-bent on destroying liberal society screaming "Don't think of the children!" is a new variation on their usual theme.

ymg113.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is all a big joke. SCOTUS is there to rule in favor of cons. It is corrupt. This a dog and pony dance for the audience whilst their minds are already made up minus three of them.

karithemed.bsky.social•85 days ago

SCOTIS has already gone for TN’s reasoning. Today was just an opportunity for the right wing of the court to let us know what they already decided. This terrifies me.

Tennessee’s own lawyer was basically forced to admit that their argument could result in bans on care for transgender adults, so

Some people will see this push alert and think “good” and won’t read anything further. They will have absolutely no idea about the Pandora’s box a ruling like this will unleash

carljanderson.bsky.social•85 days ago

what about "parental rights" i heard so much about..

god I hate these people, and the passion grows every day

susanrinkunas.com•85 days ago

This is once again like Dobbs as some people thought it was a “good” thing to “send abortion back to the states,” despite the fact that advocates and reporters had warned how a ruling would impact emergency medical care, IVF, birth control, and other rights like marriage equality

tomfodw.bsky.social•85 days ago

“We had no idea that could happen despite the decades of warnings that it would happen.”
