But yes, white supremacists and their leaders are the enemy of the human race and things are bad.

But like Nancy Pelosi says "dont agonize, organize,"

Otherwise, according to conservatives, no need for sex without procreation, right?? See how the GQP men in favor of making abortion illegal feel about THEIR bodies being controlled by the opposite sex???

And people tell me to stop talking like that.

Listen up men...

The point is, even if you support us, you need to suffer until all of you convince the others that they need to get their heads out of their asses.

All men suffer until all women are equal. Because all women have suffered because most men have subjugated us, and even if you agree with us, you haven't stopped them from doing it. It's not like we can when we follow men's rules.

There are no distinctions as to whether we'll die or under aged and/or have been raped so fuck it, no guy is a nice guy, nobody gets laid until you all get the fucking memo and sign the damn contract. Period.

Fuck this shit.

If you think we're pissed now, we're just gettin' started.

If you can’t control pregnancy, then the employer should be able to deny you good jobs.

Without career opportunities, women will have to put up with men they might not have otherwise chosen, to survive.

Second class citizens.

That’s just the way Alito and friends want it.

This will hurt women of color more than White women. It will increase the number of POC. But it will also hurt them economically and educationally, which I am sure would please the racists.

(or, in a *real* democracy, should). I once heard a comedian say something like: why do white people fear being the minority? Is there something wrong with how minorities are treated? (heavy sarcasm, for the impaired)

White supremacists are more than happy to overlook abortion in minority communities.

The real energy behind this decision comes from fundamentalist religion, which sees females as obedient servants of their husbands, regardless of race.

I think there’s more.

It feels like part of a larger attack. Like someone wants us to kill each other. Why would they go for the “big tuna” now?

There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear…

For me, anyway.

it IS part of a larger attack. It's the dark money attack on democracy that's been at work since Citizens United. This is the move toward minority rule government.

The big tuna attack is corporate divisive dark money and media hype that drives messaging against anyone non-male and non-white.

But since 15,437,962 more of our party voted since 2016, we should be able to win at least at the federal level in the midterms. This November could/should/would make the third blue wave in three election cycles.

Don't believe any hype that we can't win this November.

the moral issues surrounding abortion. "Unborn babies, unborn schmabies!" is their real attitude.

I believe they worked so strenuously to overturn Roe v. Wade just because they wanted to "lock-in" that part of their voting base. That's all.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is just one part of their overarching scheme to stay in power, along with destroying voting rights, electing politicians and secretaries of state who will eagerly overturn elections, committing blatant gerrymandering, keeping Citizens United the law of the land, and oh so many other devious tactics.

Like someone wrote in another post, all the GOP wants is wealth, control, and power. And they are staging a multi-pronged attack on democracy to attain their evil, self-serving ends, just as January 6 was just one part of a multi-pronged scheme to keep Mango Mussolini in office.


***Sigh.*** I feel so weary all of a sudden. The news that they actually did it, they overturned Roe, has knocked the stuffing out of me.

Fight each other to destruction or we destroy/neutralize them. So we can all have gunz now and we are all really in turmoil over this. They will keep picking.

They want a civil war. We need to deal with them without a violent one, or at least try.

The Death Party got what they wanted out of TFG. Enough warped religious justices to overturn Roe. Now, they're going to go after gay marriage, LGBTQ rights and much more. What's next, compulsory church attendance? They don't give a shit about what happened Jan. 6, 2021. They are determined to turn this country into a fascist theocracy. Of course, with them immune and the rest of us to suffer.

but at some point the tide will turn against their elected officials in those states. Economists have data supporting the direct connection between abortion and it's effect on local economies, crime, poverty, etc.

Minorities have abortions in far greater number per capita that whites, black women for instance have abortions at 4 times the rate of white women. So...I actually foresee a population shift...

Just start telling all your republican friends you now believe in replacement theory...and thank them for making it possible!

Hey malaise, what a cluster!

Race is dumb luck and subpar brains just can't handle diversity of something so trivial?

They really are that stupid!



Just glad I am 50+ and not in the market for babies, no matter what idiot Republicans SAY or THINK?

Dear Republican assholes, please shove that cabal BS where you left your sense of humor, dignity and empathy, ya all up in other peoples personal choices, and ya offering to adopt all these soon to be dropped off or dumpster babies and then have our tax dollars go to tracking down, arresting, prosecuting, and otherwise further overwhelm one of the most pathetic excuses for a 1st world healthcare system?
