until after the inauguration in Jan. Some other republicans may follow suit. Collins might just to save her own ass. And there's Romney. All is not lost yet.

...where they simply overturn Roe, and turn the choice back to the states.

More likely, if they get another hard-right justice backed by the the Talibornagain, that new majority will push through a decision declaring that "natural law" makes it self-evident that human life begins at the moment of conception. Therefore, every single homicide law already on the books, state or federal, will automatically apply to "the killing of the unborn." And there will be no way to reverse that.

I've seen right-wingers use "natural law" as a cover for anything they want to impose, and I'm sure they'll at least try to do so in this case as well...and probably many others.

Stop blaming women fir the works of a masculinist society and. the lies of ambitious authoritarians like Putin, Zuckerberg, Green Party faux progressives and the rest of the anti egalitarian.

If you are too scared to fight the above forces just get out of the way of the rest of us.
