not all of us are on Twitter (for good reason). Either share the information or warn us that we are being directed to twitter.

Who cares? Know your audience- if you offend your audience (or part of your audience), your message is ill received.

I can't. If you want to get information to your audience, then get information to your audience. These links to twitter are ridiculous.

... for you to successfully change everyone around.

You have a right to try, but if you want the hassle gone, you might be able to create a zombie Twitter account, don't friend anyone, and use it to eliminate your frustration.

Hope you find a solution either way!

They are on a path to throw all abortion rights issues back to the states, and will provide no federal government cover for same. They will shortly agree that, the US Constitution be damned to hell, in their minds there is no Constitutional right for women to have bodily autonomy.

That is where we are going. Where we are is 50 states with all different laws. At least half the states, at last count, have introduced a bunch of new laws to protect the life of a fertilized egg.

It is very, very bad out there.

once they get a republican president and both houses of congress, they will flat out pass a federal law against abortion. What's going on now is just testing the Supreme Court.

And by the way, they won't let the filibuster get in their way.
