When one group is denied civil rights, it affects everyone else. Immigration lawyer Andrea Flores points out that if the Trump administration prevails in denying birthright citizenship, parents of citizen children will have to prove that their children are in the USA legally too. All the time. Your child's and even your own birth certificate won't mean you have the right to live in the USA.

I like the way Buffy the Psych Prof thinks! 🧐
Any more bible quotes and excepts we should be using against them? 🤨
I assume the Trump administration will say this horrible ruling rolling back LGBTQ+ civil rights should only apply to the Northern District of Texas, right? Federal judges aren't supposed to make rulings that apply to the whole country any more, if we are to believe the argument Solicitor General D. John Sauer made yesterday (quite poorly).

The State of Georgia is keeping a deceased pregnant woman on life support against her family’s wishes.
The reason? She was 9 weeks pregnant at the time of her death and the State has a strict abortion ban.
They’ve turned her into a vessel for a fetus who has low odds of survival anyways (brain death drastically impairs the hormones necessary to grow a healthy baby)
This is torture. The family don’t want this, they don’t believe their daughter would have wanted this, and if the fetus survives it won’t have a mother.
It’s likely to be severely disabled, and the same government forcing this birth are trying to cut Medicaid for disabled children.
Forced birth is unimaginably cruel.
