At what point do we just throw our hands up?

At what point do we just throw our hands up, go about our daily lives, and let the anti vaxers/anti mask do their thing?

Seriously, I'm so fucking tired of worrying about them. There HAS to be a breaking point.

We are fighting a war against Covid and WE (the vaccinated) did our part to stop the spread.

The anti (seems like everything) folks are pissed and ready to make noise.

They think their rights are being taken away with mandates.

Meanwhile, a woman in Oklahoma is charged with MANSLAUGHTER for a miscarriage because the fetus had traces of meth in it.

Please see this thread and think REALLY hard.

We are being divided and right now, it's working. I really don't give a shit anymore.

If women ARE ARRESTED for a miscarriage, how many more of our rights are at stake?

We seriously need to look behind the curtain and pick our battles.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE HAVE A STRONG HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS.

IF WOMEN ARE MARGINALIZED AND FOR GODS SAKE BECOME BREEDERS, NONE OF THESE THINGS CAN WORK.

"Get up, Stand up, Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight"


or maybe

we should just give up this democratic experiment and let the assholes have control.

Nah, better we "Get up, stand up"

Ya don't have to do everything at once, do things that support Democracy, be it a sign, a smile, a word or two.

Please?

There's so much going on that we're spread thin.

I guess we can only do what we do to make a difference.

One step at a time.

I'm worried about what they're doing to us! We do everything right and we still get Covid and some of us die!

I just think that some women who are "my body, not vax" etc, would join us to fight incarceration for a miscarriage.

I know the hard core pro life fundies wont, but there are left leaning women who are pro choice, but anti vax.

We need a rally point to come together on.
