Even knowing this ruling on Roe was coming, I still feel as though I've been kicked in the chest.

I slept late enough this morning to miss all the morning news shows I usually channel-surf. Checked the news just minutes ago.

I have tears in my eyes, and my hands are in fists when I'm not typing. Haven't had breakfast yet, and I'm feeling too sick to eat.

All those decades when we American women thought we had some equality to determine our own lives, and now RWers with no respect for any rights, apparently -- other than the right to swagger around with a gun -- have taken that away and are threatening to take away more rights from others.

They're a disgrace to this country, to the Constitution -- and to humanity.

And until what the immoral majority on the Supreme Court is doing now is overturned, and a true respect for rights and the law restored on the Court, there will be no reason to respect the Court's decisions.

If American democracy survives -- if the RW wannabe fascists don't succeed in their obvious attempts to make this a one-party completely-failed "democracy" -- this decision will go down in history as the main decision showing why this is the worst Supreme Court in the history of the US.

1. Recommended.

Well, you have. We all have. Yet we are still standing. We are in a hell of a fight, but we can reverse the trend of Trump & conservative christianity.

3. We can reverse it, and we have to, or future Americans will never know the freedoms we had.

[H2O Man]

11. Right.

Exactly right.

[Happy Hoosier]

2. I'm with you. We knew it was coming.

Still feels like a fucking shock.

I'm SO angry.

FUCK THESE ASSHOLES.

VOTE VOTE VOTE.

[highplainsdem]

12. I agree completely.

5. Same here. Got up early but fell asleep watching the news, still half cup of coffee next to me when

I woke up. Not so much shock as sadness. They lied. We knew they lied. We had a glimmer of false hope. They did what we thought they would. Time for resolve and time to dig ourselves out of this.

[highplainsdem]

13. "They lied. We knew they lied." Yes, and there should be a provision for

automatically removing justices who lied during the confirmation hearings, and nullifying any rulings by them contradicting what they'd said earlier under oath.

14. For a fleeting second I almost thought Joe was gonna go there during his statement. Maybe down the

road. I really don't know if it would be possible or what the mechanisms would be.

6. My heart is broken. I have to figure out how to love a country that hates me.

Oh, my daughters…

[allegorical oracle]

7. Same here. Then I think: Somewhere there are young Republican and Evangelical girls who now or

will want-- or desperately need -- that health procedure and they won't be able to have it. In especially dire cases, girls will search out a back alley and risk their lives. That's why and how Roe v Wade happened in the first place. Sadly, unless the number of SCOTUS justices does not remain at nine, there's going to be more tragic rulings to come.

8. yah, uh, Freedom !! ?????

Religious nuts are insane.

[yardwork]

9. Well, the Republicans caught the mail truck.

I'm not sure it will help them. They just overturned their single most effective wedge issue.
