Banning abortion is horrifying, on the bright side, it has set off a fire storm.

It has fired up the majority of the American people who do not want abortion banned. The Republicans are going to pay a heavy political price if the Supreme court ends Roe.

I now believe the Democrats have a good chance to do well in the midterm elections.

eroding your rights as citizens, abortion is the start of a domino line they want to topple. Privacy will only be a word in the dictionary with a very weak definition. Same sex marriage is already being bantered about, transgender rights, birth control drugs. Birth control drugs gives them the opening to cancel legal cannabis, it’s a “gateway” drug to sex.

Need to hammer this into the general populace.

Republicans are the most likely to significantly destroy the second amendment. They will just wait to do that one last.

We need to hammer that one.
