I will send a copy of that opinion to the Justices.

Won't it give them a nice warm and fuzzy feeling inside?

The Constitutional Court of Uganda on Wednesday used the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization as justification to largely uphold Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, arguing that the U.S. court's conservative majority had established a new standard for "human rights jurisprudence" that places "history and traditions" over individual rights.

I think penalties for any organization giving campaign funds to these politicians should include jail time. Blood is on their hands.
 
Of course the left will use this to attack the Superme court.......

If @bomberfox's idea goes forward we're going to need a lot more prisons.

How about people who give money to organizations or companies who give money to politicians who voted for the justices who overturned Dobbs. A lot of companies give money to politicians on both sides just in case.

Probably 95% of the US population would be in prison under her plan. very likely including @bomberfox him/herself

Probably because this law was likely erected by evangelical efforts from Americans, that went to Uganda to spread their anti-gay rhetoric further. Doesn't make it any less bizzare, though.

It's a clear damning of their court system I will say, where they can't even justify it within their own law.

Republican Christian Nationalist go over to Africa and spread their filthy garbage, and promote what they wish they could do here. It's gross.

While right-wing Republican lawmakers in various U.S. states are currently engineering a new wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation, a slate of proselytizing, activist U.S. religious groups have for years campaigned in parts of Africa, especially in countries like Uganda, and sown the seeds for even more hard-line measures there.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/03/24/uganda-lgbtq-bill-united-states-republican-anti-gay-connection/
 

US Christian Right pours more than $50m into Africa​

Conservative groups increase their spending and activity in what critics call an ‘opportunistic use of Africans’ for US-style ‘culture wars’
More than 20 US Christian groups known for fighting against LGBT rights and access to safe abortion, contraceptives and comprehensive sexuality education have spent at least $54m in Africa since 2007. These are the results of a new investigation by openDemocracy, which documents the scale of this spending for the first time.

The Fellowship Foundation, a secretive US religious group whose Ugandan associate, David Bahati, wrote Uganda’s infamous “Kill the Gays” bill, is the biggest spender in Africa. Between 2008 and 2018, this group sent more than $20m to Uganda alone.https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/africa-us-christian-right-50m/

The $280 million ‘dark money’ global empire of the US Christian right​

Since 2008, US Christian right groups, many of them linked to the Trump administration, and notorious for fighting LGBT and women’s reproductive rights, have spent more than $280 million of ‘dark money’ outside the US.

It is absolutely sinister what these people are doing to Africa. Not only are they funding extermination efforts against lgbt+ people but they are also doing witch hunts. These people need to be charged with crimes against humanity as well as their donors for being accessories to murder. **** their religious beliefs.
 
Yea, this is a pretty dumb way to attack Dobbs.

None of us should take the leaders of Uganda seriously about anything.

Indeed! It's worse than a pandemic as they intentionally spread their virus around the earth with the intent of killing off those humans they find undesirable. They're on a mission to create not only a Christian Nation out of America, but a Christian world in which they lead.
The scariest part is they're using a God's backing and it trumps all logic and humanitarian thought. It's wicked.

Christian Nationalists are the scariest threat we're up against in 2024 and their cult has no boundaries. Some of them are in our Supreme Court, the thought of that should send chills down ones spine.

Religious liberty is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, yet the meaning of this core American value has been debated throughout the nation’s history. Today, conflicts most often arise from Christian nationalism, the anti-democratic notion that America is a nation by and for Christians alone. At its core, this idea threatens the principle of the separation of church and state and undermines the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. It also leads to discrimination, and at times violence, against religious minorities and the nonreligious. Christian nationalism is also a contributing ideology in the religious right’s misuse of religious liberty as a rationale for circumventing laws and regulations aimed at protecting a pluralistic democracy, such as nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQI+ people, women, and religious minorities. These issues will only draw more attention in the years ahead, since the 6-3 conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court appears eager to hear more religious liberty cases advancing Christian nationalist arguments than in previous years.

In many ways the religiously based Ugandan anti-gay movement is an offshoot of the American conservative one. They are tied together ideologically and through some funding.

Needed? No.

The story is that the court felt the need to mention it to justify/legitimize their murder of gay people.
