Weekend is gonna be sporty.

SWMBO and I have already decided it's a good time to stay at home and watch movies. Let the crazies weed themselves out over the weekend.

What I'm wondering - will the looters somehow figure out to take advantage of any of the crazy demonstrations?

Joys of living in flyover country, I don't need to change weekend plans in fear of a protest. If there is a protest, it will be a handful of people in the park holding signs, maybe a drum and a couple pink hats.

Yup. Worst that will happen here is some crying and pouting in Boise. In the meantime, I'll be far from that in my hammock, with an Old-Fashioned this weekend.  =)

Protests aren't what concern us. Anything here would be what you describe. It's the random crazies walking through parking lots we'd rather avoid. Plus, it's just gonna be weird anyway and it'll be hot out. Easier to couch up under the A/C and be lazy. There are a couple of movies we've been wanting to see and we both want to get caught up on a few series. Throw in a fair bit of YouTube, some RDR2/GTA/WoT, and the occasional nap. At some point I also have to parcel and bag bulk foodstuffs that arrived yesterday. Biggest issue will be rearranging the freezer so it will all fit.

I get all kinds of French news feeds on my phone. The French news is 100 % sensational genre "right to abortion completely abolished in US; women's rights reverted 200 years, theocracy officially installed". It's not even accurate or informative about what actually happened.

It's going to be hot (>100F), humid, and sunny here, so aside from a few of the usual suspects holding up picket signs in downtown Austin, TX I don't anticipate any real problems - certainly none in my suburb.

It's bizarre how many of the same people who think abortion (which isn't mentioned in the Constitution at all) is a totally protected and unrestricted Constitutional right also insist that owning firearms (which is explicitly called out and protected in the Constitition's Bill of Rights) isn't really a right at all.

There will be blood in the alleys

I expect there will be reports of women dying in alleys by late afternoon

In France, you can be imprisoned for two years for the "crime" of trying to persuade a woman not to have an abortion:

I just checked a few kraut news sources. So far they at least all say that it is not an outright ban, but will be left to the states. Though a couple of them said that women are no longer equal citizens. They all mentioned "up to 24 weeks". I'm not sure if they were unaware of, or purposely left out, what really rallied many here against Roe v Wade: The talk of "unrestricted up until birth (and beyond) abortions.

I'm thinking Europeans would be similar to US citizens in what we've talked about here often (whether you agree with it or not), in that many people are okay with abortion up until the first trimester, but only very few (but vocal) pro-abortion people are okay with abortion up until birth.

It's further interesting that the kraut publications seemed to look at it (again, <24 weeks) as some kind of attack against women, since abortion is technically illegal (but not punished in the first trimester) in Germany.

You know the best part of this whole ruling?

At least for me?

The incredible screeching liberal pain.

It's wonderful.

Abortion laws are far from uniform throughout Europe. The stage of abortion that is allowed, types of abortion allowed, justification, penalties, regulations on the "industry" (it really sickens me to speak of an "abortion industry" but there really is such a thing). The overall picture is that, maybe as expected, US states are slightly more conservative than European countries as a lump, but there's a lot of overlap with some very liberal US states and very conservative European countries. Again this just goes to show that abolition of RvW is basically overblown no matter what side you are on.

Of course I'm sure the globalists are also upset that European countries can still have their own abortion laws and they would probably push for some kind of pan-EU abortion law if they could, and will as soon as they can, because globalists will stop at nothing to eradicate any diversity of thought or culture.

Missouri is one of 13 states that have "trigger laws".  AG Eric Schmitt (running for U.S. Senate) signed his opinion statement shortly after Gov. Parsons signed the nullification.  Missouri is the first use its trigger law to end abortions.
