The Supreme Court just allowed Texas to ban nearly all abortion in the state, effectively overturning Roe v. Wade.
This is the culmination of a decades-long, massively funded campaign by the far right to pack the courts with anti-abortion ideologues. It is a direct result of Mitch McConnell breaking Senate rules to ram through the Supreme Court confirmations of Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
To have any hope of ending the right-wing control of the Supreme Court, restoring the constitutional right to abortion, and building a world where abortion is not just legal but accessible, we cannot allow Mitch McConnell to take back control of the Senate. McConnell has already said that he will not allow a vote on any Biden Supreme Court nominee if he regains the majority. With the Senate currently tied 50-50, the margins couldn't possibly be closer.
The far right has been BEATING US at playing the game of power politics. The only way to come back from this, without stooping to their level, is by gaining an overwhelming majority in the legislatures of this nation. Write, work, speak, and vote BLUE.
Women will just have to learn to say no & keep their legs closed tight.
Copulate that for a solution!
@anglophone you've always got Mrs Palmer's solution!
I'm furious! This makes me sick.
I have voted for Democrats my entire life. Never missed an election.
Since my 20s, I have been fighting for women's right to control our own bodies. The fight never ends.
What the numbskulls of Austin fail to realise is that they have just signed the death warrants of many women. Their evil is beyond words.
@anglophone I don't think they failed to realize it at all. They simply believe it's what a woman deserves if she attempts to end her pregnancy. But I agree that their evil is beyond words.
