The former vice president said anti-abortion activists "must not rest" until the procedure is banned in every state.

Former Vice President Mike Pence praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade on Friday, claiming the high court “righted an historic wrong” with its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

Pence, who has staked his career on his extreme opposition to abortion rights, was one of the first prominent Republicans to celebrate Friday’s ruling, which also struck down the Roe-affirming decision Casey v. Planned Parenthood.

“By returning the question of abortion to the states and to the people, this Supreme Court has righted an historic wrong and reaffirmed the right of the American people to govern themselves at the state level in a manner consistent with their values and aspirations,” Pence said in a statement.

While Friday’s ruling will almost immediately ban or severely limit abortion procedures in at least 22 states, Pence pressed for even further action on a national scale................................

Fascism is here folks. Whether we like it or not, there is no denying that now. I would ask each one of you. What are you going to do about it? We know how this story ends because we have all seen what happened when it was ignored in the last century. It didn't take a majority in Germany in the 1930s. I know all of you are awake, so I will just say: Please try to wake other people up to this. It HAS to be stopped.

the limousine because he had to uphold the rule of law, the constitution, he didn't get in the limo because he feared for his life, and most probably thought he would be hailed as a hero, act that would help him in his quest for the presidency.

He is a little man with no principles, he showed it for four years while he stuck his nose up the buffoon's butt and gave him looks of love while the buffoon spewed stupidity and evil.

And fuck anyone who claims the same religious shit that he does as a way tp separate and control people. I am seething about this whole collpase of an impartial judiciary in America.

Women have no rights.
Soon, LGBTQ+ people will have no rights.
After that, no one will have the right to self-determine reproductive choices.

And we still have no universal health care...or childcare...or mental health care.
We can have guns but no rights? Who actually believes THAT is a tennable situation?

Change is coming and when peaceful change is made impossible, violent change is made inevitable.
Our planet is roasting us all to death slowly but inevitably.
Our systems have broken. Our SCOTUS is a joke. Our Senate is also a joke. Our Congress is a shambles of gerrymandered fools and assholes in equal proportion. Our elections are being co-opte by zealots. Our economy is so heavily shifted to the wealthy that the rest of us have no wealth, no chance to live in real prosperity and no choices increasingly that can't or won't be taken away from us. Our civil rights are threatened and our biological rights are stripped from half of all people.

The roof....the roof...the roof is on fire.
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn.
Burn motherfucker burn.

I have never felt less hope for this nation than I do today. I won't be trying to save this hollowed out shell of a nation any longer. I will actively root for its demise and hope that when the war ends, we haven't killed all life on Earth to please a desert dwelling sky daddy from a time before people knew what the fucking moon or sun were.

To the religious right, women are nothing more than chattel to be obedient to a man’s every whim. If that’s rape, they need to stay quiet and bear the baby. If it’s incest, well that’s unfortunate but it’s perfectly fine to force a 12-year-old to bear a child her body, both mentally and physically, is ill prepared for, probably ruining her life. If it’s domestic abuse, they need to let the male beat them up and not complain. If he actually murders them, there might be a possibility to hold him criminally liable.

Meanwhile, women who do not want a child at this point in their lives, will have to drop out of high school or college, possibly lose a job, and for those without insurance—many, many poor women—face a delivery bill of $10,000-$15,000 for a standard delivery for a child they do not want. A complicated delivery, such as a C-section, can cost up to $30,000. Which of those Christian groups has volunteered to pay these costs?

as a good thing, there other tons of others that are complaining about this decision (far more against vs. for the decision). He might as well end his campaign (and any other republican might as well hang it up). The numbers are overwhelming against no choice vs. choice. Easily (IMHO). And what's so funny about this, is that they've seen the numbers of those belonging to churches, etc. drop drastically in membership numbers because of church dogma, of other crap that many disagree w/.
