First ever woman VP of the United States in place and the Supreme Court plotting to overturn Roe v Wade happening at the same time. One step up, ten steps back.

George W. Bush and Donald Trump both lost the popular vote and appointed five of these judges who will shape American life (and, on climate, life on Earth) for decades. Some democracy.

The 1973 Roe decision was decided 7-2 and written by a Nixon appointee. The 1987 Casey decision upholding Roe was written by a Reagan appointee on a Court w/ 8 justices appointed by GOP presidents.

Rejecting Roe as “egregiously wrong” 50 yrs later = a radical, political act.

their own bodies has been too subtly delivered over the past several decades. Message needs to be more blatantly delivered. Standing right outside someone's house should make it pretty plain.

if kavanaugh doesn’t like the pro abortion protests outside his house, he can simply drive or relocate to a different state. right?

Make your voices heard. Try not to break stuff while doing so.
I know a lady who thought that bullying the government to overturn a free and fair election, which a small minority along with her desired, was a good idea. Pro Choice sentiment on the other hand is supported by a large majority state to state.

Unfortunately it's the ones who might actually vote for candidates who aren't trying to gut their rights that most often falsely believe their votes don't count. Those who are in favor of gutting rights (excluding the one to bear arms) always make it to the voting booth.

The Supreme Court has never seen fit to make it illegal to buy a rapid fire weapon and bring it wherever to do whatever, but Roe v Wade had to be assaulted.

What will they overturn next? If not already, at what point would them turning back the clock become a YOU problem?

Rich people will be unaffected. Girls from families of means will get illegal, safe abortions. Thank goodness that they'll be unbothered by SCOTUS reversals. As for everyone else - oh well.

The fact that Clarence Thomas, a dude who is married to one of the Jan. 6 organizers/cheerleaders, is still allowed to be on the Supreme Court and vote on matters that affect millions of American lives. Could this system be more broken?

The fact that a nominee to the SCOTUS wasn't even voted on because the POTUS only had 11 months of his term to serve, yet another candidate now sits on the court after being crammed in while votes had already been cast in the election that would boot the nominator of that judge

If you're talking about "the audacity of the leak of sacred documents" rather than what the leaked document revealed that the Supreme Court plans to rule, to overturn after 50 years, I'll assume you're a conservative republican who wants to swing the focus away from what matters.
— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) May 3, 2022
If you didn't think you had enough of a reason to vote, maybe you feel differently now. If you were hoping that plenty of those people weren't going to bother to vote, you're probably upset that the leak did its intended job which was to wake people the F up before it's too late.

The irony, if that's the right word, is that Trump could care less about Roe v Wade or most of the other steps of progress that the GOP is trying to undo. He's just the vehicle that the GOP rode to get to their agenda in exchange for the power & unflagging support they gave him.
— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) May 3, 2022
He doesn't need to be currently in office for this to apply. Trump isn't just a person. The name is synonymous with a movement to strip people of fundamental rights and return us to a less enlightened time.

They do and say whatever it takes to ascend to power. And when this proves to be legally problematic, they claim not to recall what they said and did. The playbook is pathetically simple and somehow effective because the system is set up to allow it to be.

I don't get is why the onus is 100% on the woman when there typically is male involvement in conception. Sperm donor man should at minimum have to sign a contract guaranteeing financial and time commitment (up to potential full time parenting) in order to criminalize abortion.

Feels like this has been largely overlooked, but Alito's draft Supreme Court opinion on abortion uses the phrase "domestic supply of infants." It's real, on page 34. DOMESTIC SUPPLY OF INFANTS. pic.twitter.com/VuQWTJ4NHd
— Brandon Friedman (@BFriedmanDC) May 6, 2022
"Domestic supply of infants" aka White American babies is not a phrase that should ever be used in a supply and demand discussion.

Abortion would immediately become illegal in at least 13 states if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade:
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) May 3, 2022
Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
49-51, Senate Dems fall 11 votes shy of breaking a Republican-led filibuster to advance bill on abortion rights. Manchin the lone Democratic NO vote. No Republicans voted in the affirmative.
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) May 11, 2022
President Biden: "To protect the right to choose, voters need to elect more pro-choice senators this November, and return a pro-choice majority to the House. If they do, Congress can pass this bill in January, and put it on my desk, so I can sign it into law."
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) May 11, 2022
The House has already passed Roe v. Wade into law. To also pass it in the Senate we'd need to expand our majority by two seats in order to work around Manchin and Sinema and exempt it from the filibuster. So that's our marching orders for midterms: flip at least two Senate seats.
