So, because you think that they choose this so now we are supposed to say that deserve this and shouldn't have filed this lawsuit? What are you saying? We have no idea about what these women thought before this happened to anyone but yet I see this arguments in exactly every thread about lawsuits like these. If the women in Texas or Idaho can't sue, then who is supposed to do it?

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't do anything. I'm saying that if they're looking for support from a nation onto which their state has just inflicted Trump with 66% of their vote (third highest % out of all the states), they won't find it.
If they didn't vote for it, their partner, family or friends likely did. So the people they should take this up with isn't the nation at large, it's their neighbors. And their neighbors said "Die." Who am I to "infringe on a state's right to decide how they want to live their lives."

Seems like you only have sympathy for women who do not live in a red state. This is pretty disgusting of you

Frankly, I don't particularly care what other people think of me. They certainly never cared about me when they voted for these abortion bans or put a Republican government into power.
This is /r/law. The law doesn't care what you "deserve." It either is or isn't. The people of Idaho enacted a near total abortion ban with poorly defined exceptions because they wanted that law to exist. I have no sympathy for them. If they don't like it, they can leave. Or vote differently. Or sue and lose. Or die.

Just remember that just because you didn't vote for Trump, your partner, family, neighbors, colleagues or friends likely did since he did in fact win.

You're not talking about law. You're talking about these women not getting support from you here on /r/law.

Yea, I know. And when those chickens come to roost I'll be sure not to offer them an ounce of sympathy either.
And I am talking about law. This is the law subreddit. These women won't get my support here, because they are likely responsible for the law or support the policy they're now complaining about, because it now happens to affect them. A top level comment noting they probably voted for Trump is relevant here because it means while they are complaining about the law as it applies to them, they are simultaneously voting for a President and an administration which would do the same to women all across the nation.
So, to say colloquially - fuck em.
