SCOTUS overturned roe vs wade

[greysfang]

Don't trust American sold birth control anymore. I've heard too many stories this year of women getting pregnant on birth control they have been on for years. Seriously, get your pills/IUDs, etc. from another country if you are able.

I think Hispanics have been trending conservative. I think the previous voting democrat by Hispanics was because of anti-immigration and anti-illegal immigration sentiment by Republicans. That being said, I think the rulings today will galvanize some of the people who had their heads in the sand and thought there were no consequences for sitting on their hands and not at least voting for the lesser of two evils.

^^ Voter turnout of registered dem voters is very low in red states. I think providing transportation for those who have a hard time getting to the polls would help a lot, as well as canvassing.

Better do it fat before the Constitution also stops protecting that. 
I did remember having read about that kind of initiative:




Freedom Summer

I'm beyond mad. Fuck Clarence Thomas and Mitch McConnell.

I think we can all agree that this court is illegitimate. Yesterday they ruled that gun carrying is a federal right and today they ruled that women's bodily autonomy is a state's right. Are they even listening to themselves?

This really worked for Stacy Abrams and her team in Georgia in2020. Through canvassing and voter registration/transportation assistance, they were able to accomplish what seemed impossible. It can be done, but because of all the voting road blocks and gerrymandering in red states, it is getting ever more difficult.  A few states have also banned transportation of large groups to polling places, so it would have to be done surreptitiously via smaller cars instead of buses.

I am sickened and disgusted. This is just heartbreaking. Hopefully this gets blue voters to come out in November. I’m embarrassed to live in this country.

I broke down and cried. What the hell is happening in my country? I do believe the tide will eventually turn, but it's going to take years and at age 71, I won't see it. I have 2 granddaughters ages 15 and 11, I'm going to make damn sure they are informed and know all there is to know about birth control.

I'm a Brit and I am utterly devastated and brokenhearted for every girl and woman living in the USA, including all those girls who are yet to be born. Although I was born and raised as a Catholic I have always been pro-choice and would fight with my last breath for a female's right to have an abortion for whatever reason she decides.
'Her body- Her choice'
A terrible day. I have nothing left to say but am sending the most enormous hug to every girl and woman who is having to deal with this awful news.

America. Where guns have more rights than women.

A horrendous truth.

Fucking Saudi America.

The scotus has the lowest approval- and confidence rating in its history. They have now proved they are politicized and a religious court entity, and are not to be trusted. And meanwhile, rump declared that the overturning of Roe vs. Wade was "god's will". That motherfucker needs to get his comeuppance.
