Seven weeks ago, a draft opinion on Roe Vs Wade was leaked from the Supreme Court, published by Politico, and that draft opinion has now become a reality, with a 5 – 4 decision striking down the landmark ruling. Samual Alito, Clarence Thomas, and the three Trump appointees, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett voted to overturn Roe Vs Wade, while liberals Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, and chief justice John Roberts voted to uphold the 1973 decision.
This is not about being pro-life, because we know that the religious conservative right is not pro-life, if they were, they would financially support young mothers and their children, so they don’t have to live below the poverty line, and they would do more to control guns, so 10-year-olds don’t get gunned down in school. It’s about control, mostly old white Christian men wanting to subjugate women.
It all boils down to religion, a form of control, in my opinion, as much as the five Supreme Court justices claim it’s about the constitution, and not about religion, if that is the case, then why did the law stand for almost 50 years? It’s because it has taken this long for the right to push this many religious zealots to the Supreme Court, previous SCOTUS’ has upheld Roe, despite many challenges over the years.
If you think this is where the current SCOTUS attack on Americans’ rights will end now that Roe has been overturned, you’re mistaken. Clarence Thomas, the justice with the seditious wife, has indicated that contraception (Griswold vs. Connecticut), private sexual acts, aimed squarely at the LGBTQ+ community (Lawrence v. Texas), and same-sex marriage (Obergefell v. Hodges) is on the chopping block, which all hinged on the same 14th amendment to the US constitution, that Roe v. Wade relied upon.
Of course, the Democrats had their fundraising emails ready to go the moment the decision to take away women’s rights to bodily autonomy was announced. I say don’t give the Democrats a fucking penny, they control the House, the Senate, and the White House, they could kill the filibuster, and pass an equivalent law to Roe right now, they don’t need a single Republican vote. This bipartisanship line from the likes of President Biden, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema needs to stop, bipartisanship is long dead!
President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi have been in front of the press saying Roe Vs Wade is on the ballot this November, in an effort to mobilize the electorate to vote in the midterm elections. Literally, in 2010 and 11, Democrats had a super majority in Congress, but Obama and his vice president Joe Biden didn’t think codifying Roe was a high priority, so they can fuck all the way off. I have no faith that even if there were 60 Democrat senators that anything with being done, Democrats are feigning outrage for the fundraising, don’t fall for it, don’t give them a single red cent of your money!
At this point, there is no fixing the US of A, it has become a theocracy, despite the separation of church and state clause of the constitution. Time to turn it off, wipe the memory and start over with a new set of rules with specific terms, not up for interpretation, with built-in maximum term limits for congresspeople, and federal judges and have a true UNITED states, if red states don’t like it, please kindly fuck off and become your own country, losing all that funding from the blue states, via the federal government.
