I don't know what's worse, the horror of this unfolding or the knowledge that it's just the beginning of a systematic stripping away of bodily autonomy and human rights.

I voted. I volunteered. I protested. None of it was enough.

I feel so angry and powerless.

It wasn't until there were six and a half Catholics on the court that Roe was in danger.

You know what will happen right when the Supreme Court will overrule other things and leaving it to state law right?

Birth control bans. Same-sex marriage bans. Erosion of various personal freedoms and human rights under the law.

Yep. Interracial marriage? Probably too far. It would be inconvenient for one Supreme Judge I would imagine.

That I doubt. My interracial marriage thing was a joke. I highly doubt the Supreme Court will go that far.

The thing is abortion was never a just a 'men wanting more control over women's bodies'. That is such a basic argument. A second look around will find many women who are pro-Life. The real thing about abortion was about personal belief systems.

Interracial marriage or my thoughts that abortion is more about personal beliefs than men wanting to control bodies?
