re: #11 Simply Sarah

I’ll be completely honest here. While I’ll fight against it as strongly as I can, I’m largely resigned to the idea that with the current state of the federal judiciary, Roe is on its way to being overturned in the next decade or two, which will be followed by blanket, absolute bans on abortion in many states, if not on a federal level. I’m not even sure Griswold itself and the rest its progeny are safe, which could mean the end of family planning and birth control in general.

A cynical view? Damn right it is. But the way things have been moving the last couple of decades makes it hard for me to feel otherwise.

Naw, this is the last gasp, the backlash is building up everyday. It is hard to get people motivated who cannot believe that their personal rights are threatened, they just yawn and go on.

That is changing now because the wingnuts are trampling on these peoples rights, organized women, with a lot of support from men also, are simply not going to allow this to happen. It is going to have to come from the women though to be an effective political movement.

The ball is now in their court…
