It is all too upsetting…

The final decision is out. SCOTUS has overturned Roe against the will of the people. This is a country with a growing maternal mortality and morbidity rate, no paid parental leave or public universal childcare, and no universal healthcare. An unelected, undemocratic government body that has also gutted voting rights and eliminated the right to live freely without gun violence is now going to force people to carry children against their will. The freedom to marry and access to birth control are next.

This shit:
I haven’t seen this aspect (non-arrest of the perpetrator) discussed on cable news yet. I’m choking on rage…
Wonder what this guy’s employer and car insurance company think.
Try this on for size
I cannot believe what this country is becoming and so quickly!
Abortion Access is a Human Right: https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/06/24/us-abortion-access-human-right
Forced Pregnancy is a war crime and a crime against humanity:

I hope they challenge that law in Iowa about driving into peaceful protesters. Seems like that violates the first amendment kind of, right?
That man, and others like him to intentionally drive into protesters, should never be able to get insured to drive again ever. And I can’t imagine any halfway sane insurance company that would insure him.
There are laws in Iowa and Florida that specifically say if you drive into protestors you can not be arrested or prosecuted. It was put into place during BLM protests.
Has a challenge to these laws reached SCOTUS? They’re a blatant violation of the first amendment.
SCOTUS would probably uphold them.
This is good…I mean for an argument against this fucked up shit reversal of Roe.
Today in there is stupid and there is Republican Stupid:
It’s already slavery — forced fetus-carrying is slavery of women’s bodies by the state.

Doooo it. Enough talk.
(it’s gotten to the point where I can’t stand the sight of either of those two slimeballs.)
I’ll believe it when I see it.
