[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a depressing thread. That a group of men (and one loony woman) have the right to take all American women's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion to end an unwanted pregnancy is horrifying. But here we are in 2022, and men are still calling the shots, controlling women. [/quote]

Because women time and time again vote against their OWN interest. The interest of women. 
Yeah, you have some who LOVE this ruling, but the majority don't. But I bet my bottom dollar that come november they will vote an R just like always and say it is becasue of taxes (though Rs want to raise middle class tax) or small business (yet Rs haven't done crap for small business) or education (Rs want to get rid of books that make moms have difficult convos with their kids) or some other BS story the Rs will push on them and they will vote to protect themselves from the 'big bad boogie man' that doesn't exist all the while letting the wolf into their homes and bedrooms without batting an eye.

This reminds me of a cartoon i love. It is an axe asking the forest to vote for him to be ruler because he is just like them, made of WOOD! He would never do anything to hurt them. He is just like them!! [/quote]

Why should we still have to vote to fight for our human rights? The politicization of abortion is the problem. It should be standard healthcare. [b]I’m a white woman and I have voted Democrat in every election of my life. What has it gotten me? What else can I do?[/b][/quote]

This is where I am. WHAT.DO.I.DO???? I"m not rich. I donate to the orgs, the candidates. I vote. I share information?
Where has that gotten me when a bunch of white dudes, and a woman-hating woman, can just snap away 50 years of precedent that has been reaffirmed many times over. The original Roe opinion was penned by a NIXON appointee, FFS.

[b]Why are my human rights up for a vote? Up for a discussion about whether I'm entitled to them? WHy am I now demoted to little more than the worth of my uterus?[/b][/quote]

Exactly. It’s surreal.

It's not surreal. Women have not been equal in this country ever. The surprising thing is that we are going backward, but I'm baffled that you all are expressing so much shock that our "human rights" are being suppressed. That's been true forever. This is just one more item in the grabbag of the dehumanization of women and minorities in this country.

I'm curious how many of the people who are just flabbergasted at the idea that you might have to vote, let alone do more than vote, to have your rights protected are not white. I don't feel like anyone who isn't white in this country has ever been under the delusion that their rights aren't up for debate.[/quote]
