It's been interesting watching people care about this person as a US liberal reproductive rights hero in the same week that nobody gave a shit about the revealing of forced sterilisations of migrants at ICE detention centres.
White liberal feminism strikes again.

Roe v. Wade is probably dead. Anyone got any resources for mutual aid abortion services?

This is a good thing to support regardless, clinics and services have been regulated de facto out of existence in most of the places where an end to roe v wade will matter.

Republicans will absolutely do their best to jam someone through. Owning the Supreme Court also affords a second avenue for power if the peasants vote for the wrong rapist.

I'm not sure how a delay would play in the media. Dems like to pretend to be reasonable. Being reasonable means holding hearings. Hearings can only buy so much time.
The fact that one death can hold so much power should be the real debate in the US but it'll never actually be the conversation.

They can't delay without some republican defectors, and one of the traditional defectors (Romney) is not going to pass up an anti-abortion justice. The Mormons might literally kill him.

Personally I doubt it. there's no way republicans can repeal it without losing support. The presumptive nominee for the new position has even said that it's very unlikely that it will be repealed, it's just a matter of whether the funding for it will be public or private.

I imagine they'll pick at the edges like the states have. Not a full blown repeal but maybe a 12 week ban is deemed constitutional because Texas brought a case. That sort of thing.
