Sarah, I think the most important thing is that if a republican, especially trump, is in the White House, not only will women especially suffer here, but he will support the worst despots all over the world.
I’m not going backwards because of some EvilAngekical Christian AssHat. They have an agenda to silence women once again. Didn’t work out that well the first time.. FVCK that. Take away women’s rights now in 2023 and watch WTF happens next. I call it: Fuck Around and Find Out 🙌🏽🖕🏽🙌🏽MAKE MY DAY
The hard right-wingers have been very busy behind the scenes working in secret like TERMITES! People with more liberal ideology need to get busy working just as hard to counteract the hardcore backward ideology of the hardliners. I’m old and I was in my 30s when RoevWade came into law and I was shocked because of the norms of the time. At approximately the same age I gained the right to have a credit card in my own name!!! Can you imagine living life in the age of information without a credit card? We were just coming out from the oppressive time when men ruled women with a heavy hand. I don’t want my grandchildren being forced into such restrictive ideology or the constraints and consequences of a “Christian’ nation rather than a secular nation with freedom of religion! Separation of Church and State (possibly under threat in the near future) needs to be guarded carefully. It is foundational to our freedoms. We don’t want to end up with an American Taliban!
The US already had the highest maternal death rate of any developed country, and the new "pro-life" (hahahaha) restrictions on abortion are increasing it. I may be only a man, but I have an opinion on that which is that it seems to be going in the wrong direction.
"Free' speech does not confer on you the right to say anything you want to anybody, anytime, no matter how vile, malicious, false or hateful. There are limits bound by decency, which some sociopaths don't seem to comprehend.
It was me, Claudia, the wrier. Substack offerds that option. If people want to present rational opposing opinions, great. IF they are only here to demean, criticize, abuse or in general be jackasses, fuck em. Love the sharp, well-informed folks who showed up. Thank you.
I have been writing about the problem of conservative political regression with regards to the following point that you make, "This is the precedent the current clerics of the Court now defer to, in deciding what the state will allow 21st century women to do with their own bodies?"
A significant sub-network within the larger conservative network that you bring up in your piece here today is the "Truth and Liberty Coalition" this organization is solidly entrenched in the "Seven Mountains" movement and plays a significant part in the "Convention of States Action" movement that intends to rewrite the Constitution of the USA. Also perhaps the single most outsized individual responsible for helping to overturn Roe vs. Wade is Leonard Leo. Alliance Defending Freedom is in actuality one small part of the greater whole and owes much of its support to Leonard Leo and the numerous individuals who lead and operate the Truth and Liberty Coalition.
The more people that are exposed to and made aware of this gargantuan conservative Christian nationalist network and its efforts the better prepared we will all be in the coming years to fight back against it and those who are actively fighting for control of our liberal Democracy.

"You have picked a cause because you needed meaning in your life. Sad."
Sorry, banned. I really hate this constant, tedious republican projection.
Sorry, I ban vicious randos who have no clue what they are talking about. It's tiresome..

Holy Jumping Jesus, this is amazing work. It's well-written, thoroughly researched info. Thank you.
Sitting the election out is exactly what MAgats want. I will NEVER surrender to fascists

Infantile rubbish

This is an excellent wake up call.

'She died in childbirth' was often said in hushed tones.
She left her husband with 5 children to raise alone.'
Back to that in 2023.
People don’t hear truth. It’s too complicated. What’s needed is a catchphrase as grabby as "Save the cheerleader, save the world".
