What do you think is going on?

I will tell you what I think.

I think a small group of very deep (albeit ill-conceived) religious zealots have spent millions over decades to get Roe repealed and now that they got that they are going after contraception then gay marriage just as Thomas spoke of in his opinion. But first they have to kill abortion nationally as long as there are Blue states offering it and corporations (for now) paying for travel.

As long as the current religious juggernaut is allowed to do as it pleases one can only guess what would be next if they got the items above terminated. Inter-racial marriage? Laws demanding conversion/attendance…just how far do we let what is a small but very well connected group impose their beliefs on the rest of us?
