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!
