    These are all examples of the laws working as designed. The anti-abortion movement cares about precisely one thing: complete control over women’s bodies. An environment where doctors universally refuse to provide care to their patients for fear of incarceration isn’t a quirk of interpretation of an individual statute, it’s these laws working as intended.

    And the man who placed the crucial three votes on the Supreme Court that brought us to this state is a toss-up to be returned as president in the next election. People need to wake the fuck up.

      not disagreeing with your first paragraph, but sort of adding that it’s not a desire to control women’s bodies - it’s a desire to control everything. the society they want requires a “traditional nuclear family” run by a patriarch. a woman’s body is one part of this and is the means not the end.

      i am disagreeing with your second paragraph as it was the ghoul in the senate who placed 3 fascists on the supreme court.

        I bow to no one in my disdain for Mitch McConnell, but all other things being equal, if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 Roe would still be good law.
