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

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.
