This is horrible! Here's a Michael Moore worthy idea:
In ancient Greece, the poet Aristophanes wrote a play called Lysistrata, about the war between Athens and Sparta. The women of Athens were so mad about the war, they all agreed to refuse sex to the men until the war ended.
Americans - men, women and gender fluid alike - must refuse sex until abortion (and gun control) is written into law. That should make for change.
This is not our Supreme Court . This is a coup court using bogus made-up laws deliberately designed to enforce right-wing ideology. Originalism is not real law so we should just ignore the decisions of this court and live our lives as best we can as if this was a moot court.
I can't shake a sense of surrealism and dread that I will be living in a country soon to be ruled by a "Christian" Taliban. My whole being is shouting 'Wake up", "Resist" and absolutely "Remove all Republicans in November"!
Bless you Michael. Every time I feel despair, your voice and words give me comfort. I find it so incredible that moron, bone spurs, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, twice impeached, one term loser has had so much influence on our country. I will keep up the fight. Thank you. So very sad.
Horrible news today. It's breaking my heart. How can they just rip those rights away from us just like that. It is pure evil. We already made that choice and now they yanked it away. Those idiot justices are playing God. Biden needs to do something. The majority of us were happy with Roe.
Never again a Catholic on the Supreme Court! Liar liar, Barrett, Kavanaugh, you lied to congress! You said you will uphold the laws of our land! Proves Brett you lied about the assault of Christine Blasey Ford! You like beer Brett, so soak your sorrows in a gallon. May your Catholic God forgive both for your lies.
I am so sorry for all Americans coming under this minority ruling class of men and one cult female religious nut case. This Supreme Court is nothing more than religious ideologies not part of American values. If you believe on the basis of religious grounds after your uncle rapes you to NOT have an abortion. That is your personal and should be private decision to make. No woman has ever be forced to have an abortion. So don’t have one! Now you pro-life people, go ahead and live your life as you want, but why in the hell should my daughter after being raped or unwanted pregnancy have to follow you religious greed, I want my daughter to have private safe health-care and if that includes an abortion I will accept her judgment to decide what is best for her. Some might not think this will not affect their lives, but they are coming for you too. An injury to one is an injury to all. We can’t wait for the next election, we need serious non violent civil disobedience. Shut the roads down, stop the trains, shut the airports down, shut the country down. Americans like never before need to stick together. As my old friend Caesar Chavez would say over and over, when you stick together and really stick together, you never ever lose. We can NOT go backwards, we must not go backwards. Please come together in A Non-Violent way, be creative in expressing your human right NOT to go backwards, we must push forward for progress.
Dear Mike: I wrote this article comparing Cuba's new Families Code with the threat to being safe in our own bodies was leaked back in May. Cuba's new Families Code is an example of freedom that is unknown to working class people including women and gender non-conforming folks. The right to abortion is part of Cuba's free medical care and social support to care for and develop the children that are born to their fullest potential through free education, sports and culture. https://www.struggle-la-lucha.org/2022/05/17/beyond-abortion-a-struggle-to-win-our-future/
STOP THE REAL STEAL!! The Supreme Court has stolen the rights of women to control their own bodies, the basis of which all rights exist. It is outrageous!! We must come together again and again, as we always have, to stop this tyranny against women!!!
Do you realize that there is now legislation where border patrol can enter any home within 100 miles of the USA border and search ? I think that’s the” fourth amendment”that got ripped up. So happy my father moved here from 🇺🇸 all those years ago. I still have family and friends stateside and they are appalled at what is going on.SCOTUS is waging war against the citizens.
When I was young I believed that abortion was the worse thing that could possibly happen. When I entered high school, my friend got pregnant. The reality set in. What would her life be like? What future would there be for her and her child? To have a child is not something to take lightly. It is a serious decision, as is an abortion. How many women and children will now face a life of poverty? Forced to take minimum wage jobs with little hope for a future. Make no mistake, this is an attack on women.
I could never understand why war is acceptable. Innocent people die. Babies die. There is no question in that fact.
Why are only the women being punished and not the guy who contributed 50% or more to the pregnancy? Because who would dare insinuate that men can control themselves? Get real
In Italy where el Popo hangs, there is legalized abortion. America appears to the civilized world as a fat phony UNSOPHISTICATED country of anti-intellectual hicks. However, since OBESITY inhibits fertility, we may have fewer conceptions anyway since 64% of Americans according to the WHO waistline guidelines are FAT. What's Wrong with America is AMERICANS. And BLM will fail since AA are 50% more likely to. develop Type 2 diabetes and they are the most obese and have poor medical coverage. A real TRIFECTA. DEAD people can't access opportunities. As for Catholicism, the word is that the pope will quit because he knows that more. crap about the church is coming out. Now that guns are for anyone. and everywhere. and we refuse to shrink the bodies we will instead shrink the population.

Don’t worry, people are ready to stand up.

Feel like I’ve been marching forever, not gonna stop now will meet my fellow protesting the streets

It's obvious that a woman with choice is more dangerous than a kid with an assault rifle.

I am 81 and have been talking about this very sensitive issue since 1978. Can't tell if your comment is agreeable. or the opposite. jb
