I am sucked punched by this breaking news on Roe and Casey.

[PA_jen]

The handmaid's Tale has now become real on May 2nd 2022. I
I am a married woman who never had kids. Not I didn't want them-we just couldn't. Please don't judge my husband he just doesn't feel comfortable with adoption. I say these only so you understand my thinking and perhaps I have no right to say this but I am angry and scared feel frighten to live I this country right now.

Yes, I know worse is going on in the world and far worse is happening; war, famine, pandemic, and climate change but this news has made the floor call out from under my feet.

I am terrified for my nieces and all women. I worry what the next step will be.

I am scared that this ruling may not anger enough people to vote for democrats in Nov it will get the religious right stirred up that we are drowned by a crimson cape ready to place the Authoritarian rule in place in this country.

I am truly scared

(I am sorry- I am on my tablet so for give autocorrect words are phrases.)

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. I'm sick.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. The Handmaid's Tale has been "real" for millions for quite some time. We're way past this.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. I sm terrified for my 3 Granddaughters.

Ages 25, 11, and 9.

Looks like Birth Control is next in the sights of Republicans.

GOTV people.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Nationwide abortion ban is next.

But Hillary had to be BASHED nonstop

[COL Mustard]

4. Get the hell out and vote

Everyone! Vote dammit. It’s the only way to take our country out of the hands of these people.

[Hugin]

5. On this topic the next step is banning birth control.

Even within marriage.

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. They've already said that's what they want.

[Hugin]

19. Years ago when a friend who now appears to have been a wise sage...

Laid out the fundamentalists agenda, I just looked at him slack jawed and said… Naaah.

He told me some other areas where they had plans. Seems likely now, too.

All in service of what? Nothing.

[SoonerPride]

40. All in service of CONTROL

They want to control women.

All women.

All the time.

[tavernier]

33. So shouldn't the price of male masturbation

be castration? Spilling the seed isn’t a crime? Those little suckers are certainly the first step to parenthood.

[onecaliberal]

6. So angry.

[Deuxcents]

7. I am scared, too

I’m older n have been supporting the reproductive rights issue since the ‘70’s. I’m scared that birth control is next. I do believe that one way or the other there will be an underground movement but not all will be able to obtain it. I also agree with you that women will die b/c of this ruling. I’m pissed. I’m angry b/c as a woman, we’re losing ourselves to become fetus incubators. No laws or rules for men..only us. No ramifications for the men who desert their partners or try to harm them. One person on All In said the sky has fallen. Yes, it has.

[Pas-de-Calais]

8. Wife just told me, she's not surprized

Neither am I

[riversedge]

9. I was flabergasted. I had to ask myself what the hell is happening. I still am and it over

a half hour. I fell full of anger, angst, yet empty.

[mountain grammy]

10. two of my five granddaughters have said

they will look for opportunities in other countries. I think the other three are feeling the same. The minority is in charge due to our warped Constitution.

[Skittles]

14. never abandon your country to fascists

stay and FIGHT

[XanaDUer2]

22. Damn straight

No surrender

[mountain grammy]

25. I'm glad my grandparents decided to leave

If they had stayed I doubt my family would even be here.

[Skittles]

28. we have better ways to fight now

I will never surrender my country to a bunch of fucking MAGAts - never.

[mountain grammy]

38. Yeah well let me know when

Those “better ways” produce some results. It’s too late.

[Skittles]

39. then why even be on this board?

over and OUT

[mountain grammy]

41. Don't take your frustrations out on me

Take a walk or something.

[txwhitedove]

11. I feel sick too, and horrified. My fertile years were a struggle to NOT get pregnant,

trying every option available. I worry for my granddaughters now.

[Baltimike]

13. can we wait for the opinion to actually come out?

because it could just be bullshit

[Skittles]

15. do we really have any doubts what is coming?

Trump stacked the court with HACKS specifically for this purpose

[onecaliberal]

20. Barriers are up around SCOTUS.

[Baltimike]

23. Yep. That sent me over the edge. nt

[roamer65]

18. I'm not.

Fascism does NOT give up easily.

[William Gustafson]

21. Sadly, this is only the beginning.....

The Republicans will not stop once they end abortion... They will go after Birth Control... and much more....

They think that women should be in the home, pregnant, and barefoot.... They want to go back to the 40's, where women had on rights at all. Could not own property without a man's signature, could not vote, and had no say in how they lived. these Neanderthals want to be able to control women, period. And the hypocrisy of it all is, they love the fetus, but hate the child.

They propose nothing to help a child and where there is help, they cut it.... It's not about the baby, it's about the control of the women...
As a male, I find this simply appalling that they think so little of women and they can't make their own health care decisions. I find most women I know are very lovely and able to make many decisions on their own health care decisions.
I will not be voting for any Republican on my ballet, from dog catcher to congress.... I had enough!

[Tickle]

24. It's not a ruling

it was a leaked opinion piece

[gldstwmn]

29. False.

[JenniferJuniper]

26. Same sex marriage is next

[gldstwmn]

27. There are a few generations of young women who have no idea what is going to be unleashed with this

decision. My childbearing years are well in the rear view mirror but at least I had a choice.

[Scottie Mom]

31. Ditto

I’m in my 70s. Thank gawd I’m not young and have no choice.

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. How many women will die because of this?

How many victims of rape and incest will have to bear the fruit of their assaults?

How many babies will be born with horrible genetic diseases and deformities, to live a life of suffering?

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS!!!

[gldstwmn]

34. I was reading the Roe V. Wade Wiki and it said births decreased by 5% in states where abortion was

illegal prior to the 1973 ruling. One death is too many.

[Igirl]

32. Is this even real?

Leaks don’t happen in the Supreme Court. Not ever. I’m waiting on verification. I don’t believe it.

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. I don't know specifically what I thought would happen to hold the line.

But I never thought I'd see this happen. I'm not exactly having an anxiety attack, but I'm DEFINITELY feeling anxious and a little sick. This is such a giant step for the forces of regression and oppression, and they must be GIDDY right not.

Not only am I male, I'm Canadian, so I guess someone could say it doesn't affect me, but it f'ing does! It affects anyone anywhere that believes in human and civil rights.

[pazzyanne]

36. I have no daughters, but...

I have 6 nieces and 5 great nieces. Scared for them if this happens. What other rights do to they have in their sites?

[ShazzieB]

37. I am not entirely surprised by this, but I didn't expect it for at least another month.

I thought they were probably going to do this, but I figured we'd have some warning about when to expect a decision and that it wouldn't happen for weeks yet. The way this news broke with absolutely NO warning and in a completely unprecedented way was very shocking because we were all caught off guard. I'm still reeling from the news myself. Once it's had a chance to sink in, I know I'm going to be very, very angry. I just haven't gotten to that phase yet.

While I'm posting here, let me assure you that I believe you have every right to the feelings you've expressed here. Please don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We are all in this together, regardless of our personal reproductive status. Taking a constitutional right away from any woman hurts ALL of us, because it sends a powerful message that we as women are less than and not entitled to the rights we believed we believed were implicitly ours. That is an insult to all of us and outrage for all of us.

The fight has just begun!
