Get it together people, this is exactly why we are here as a country. How in the world can you get upset over people rightfully displaying their anger over the lost of a fundamental constitutional right and which relegates women to second class citizens?
And for those saying that protests never work, are you kidding me? May I refer you to the, I don't know, Cilvil Rights movement as a humble example...
?Our democracy is being taken from us? Uh, that what legislatures are. Which is what the Supreme Court just empowered. (In case you haven't thought it through, having 9 unelected people making laws instead of just declaring them constitutional or not, is actually undemocratic.)
No one is taking your right to peacefully assemble, to petition your grievances, to vote and to live in a state that agrees with your values and right to kill your own child. (Which you already do if you are responding to this thread.) Pull out a civics textbook and get to know your actual rights.
