OK, So This is Where We Are, and This is How We Got Here

“Give him a chance”

“All politicians are the same”

“But her emails”

Make no mistake, this phony cynicism, complete indifference, lazy ignorance and outright stupidity is what has today, turned the United States of America, the greatest experiment in democracy in human history, into the world of  “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Do you think that the Supreme Court of the United States, in today’s decision to overturn “Roe vs. Wade” even took into account that a Gallup poll showed that this is not even what the majority of Americans wanted? This decision has absolutely NOTHING to do with abortion, and everything to do with a group of angry old white men wanting to control women’s bodies because they are still bitter that they couldn’t get laid in high school.

So, still think elections don’t matter? Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, were all appointed by a twice impeached, lying, ignorant, racist, fascist, misogynistic, xenophobic, unqualified, pussy grabbing, five time draft dodging coward, useful idiot Russian asset and criminal traitor with American blood on his tiny, incompetent hands. All three should be impeached by the way, for lying under oath during their confirmation hearings when asked whether or not they believed Roe was settled law.

I could go on, I am so upset that a rant probably is in order, but the context is too important, and I do not want to diminish anyone’s attention span, so I will ask you to look beyond this decision and think about the long term ramifications of the reasoning.

The opinion was about 78 pages long, with a 30 page appendix. That’s a whole lotta paper used to distract you from the fact that the reasoning, at its fundamental core, says that there is no inherent right to privacy or personal autonomy in any provisions of the US Constitution — and similarly, no evidence that peoples' reliance on the court's abortion precedents over the past half century should matter. (kinda makes that whole “Bill of Rights” thing a tad inconvenient, doesn’t it?) Do you realize what this means for previous Court decisions concerning marriage and gender equality? Do think that Alito’s wording that “nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion,”  is really gonna mean shit to the unqualified lapdogs that were put on the SCOTUS by that pig Donald Trump? Who incidentally has been accused of paying for at last count, EIGHT abortions for his porn star mistresses. 

See? Not about the act, it's about control
