As expected, Trump’s Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade.
The Supreme Court on Friday overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion after almost 50 years in a decision that will transform American life, reshape the nation’s politics and lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the states.
In a decision that sends a message to American women that we are not fully autonomous humans, that we don’t have basic human rights, that we don’t deserve basic human rights, that we are not allowed to veto a takeover of our own bodies, that our own bodies don’t even belong to us.
In a decision that sends a message to the world that the US, however rich and technologically skilled, is a backward underdeveloped tyrannical state that hates women.

And this just a day after the concealed carry thing… :-(
At least we were spared the horror of a Clinton presidency. (Yes, that’s sarcasm.)
In recent years, we have discovered that America is held hostage by five men in lifetime appointments with no counter.
My condolences…
Buttery males…
@2: But her emails!
I never thought I would live long enough to both see abortion enshrined as a right and to see it removed as a right. I have outlived my worldview.
Turns out we really are “womb carriers.”
I’m so angry I feel numb.
Similar. Kind of numb and scraped raw at the same time.
Is it that the court thinks that abortions reduce the pool of children to be massacred in schools?
The U.S. is in dire need of two things now. A woman president, and an expanded supreme court. I hope I see both in my lifetime. Not holding my breath. :(
With our luck we’d get Mother as president… being female ain’t enough to escape theocracy.

My husband believes when we finally get a woman president, she will be far right, like Sarah Palin. I worry he’s correct.
