Because nobody gives enough of a damn to stand up to the enemy on this. The politicians don't do it, and not enough of the voters bother, either. For too many it's just not a priority anymore. For too many young women oblivious of the fight and the struggle and the bloodshed and death that happened before Roe v Wade, it's a right they simply take for granted. Too many think we're just having some sort of hysterics or we're exaggerating when we warn them that the right to have the last word over your own body is steadily being chipped away by a VERY resolute and determined enemy, and the lack of much forceful defense from our side. They think we're worrying for no reason! That's silly! Nuthin's gunna happen, they say. S'Not gonna happen. They don't assume anything will ever happen. We're just one Supreme Court justice away from it now, and just one presidential term away from it now.
It is utterly maddening to me to think of how many people just won't bother to go vote this fall. For WHATEVER reason. MADDENING! Hey, NOW it's women's rights. Rest assured if they kill ours, they're going to be coming after YOURS, NEXT. They won't be satisfied just with taking women's rights away, I guarantee you.
Really certain you won't bother voting this time? That's something you can ask someone you know who decides to sit this one out for WHATEVER reason. Teach Obama a lesson. Say pox on both their houses. Shrug that they're all the same, none of them pure, all of them contaminated.
