Remember where you were the night Roe was killed & women's rights were rolled back

Remember

2. Self isolating...

In another state who is working on getting to Texas' level of oppression thanking my lucky stars that I'm too old to have kids and I'm not in Texas.

[Hekate]

3. What you said. ...

This country is in the clutches of a regressive death cult. The majority do NOT agree, but by hook and by crook the minority have the upper hand in too many places.

7. I was around for Roe v Wade...

Even met Sarah Weddington, the attorney who won the SCOTUS case, several years back. I don't forget shit like this, I'm a brown woman in the US. I have been watching what I knew was coming take place in real time and it's hard to bear.

11. We need to do A LOT more than merely remember.

A LOT more.


I'm calling ALL my DC reps first thing tomorrow. House AND Senate. Gonna do that EVERY day. And not just in Washington DC. Maybe their local district offices, too, dammit!

[Hekate]

12. Excellent, calimary! Start with "never forget," go on to "never forgive," and ACT!

4. I remember when Roe was ruled Constitutional

I fear we will be going into a very dark period, where not just women’s rights are in danger, but civil rights, and a whole slew of rights

[Hekate]

8. So do I. I also remember when the Voting Rights Act passed, and I was SO proud of my country

The progress was so right and just.

When the VRA was gutted by SCOTUS it was a gut-punch, to know that in my own lifetime I could watch both the beginning and the ending of an era of hope and progress.

Last night, another gut-punch so bad I raged and then wept. Again, in my own lifetime I experienced both the beginning and the ending of an era of hope and progress.

These terrible regressions are brought to us courtesy of pretty much the same people.

14. Yes

17. There was no ruling of "Constitutional" there was a ruling of "unconstutionality". n/t

5. Be a shame if 1000 angry women stormed the Supreme Court

6. I will remember.

15. I see this as the nail in the coffin for the GOP in 2022.

The SCOTUS just gave us great leverage for the midterms. People are pissed and when this sinks in it will only get worse.

I made a pin with Kavanaugh crossed out in red with a tiny wire hanger dangling off of it 2 years ago. I just up-dated it. Now it's time for me to print it on my last plain/blank N95 mask.

18. My county is voting to be "pro life" tonight

The sick irony.

19. I have 3 nieces in Texas. The oldest is out protesting this already...

The middle girl is in high school and so hot to trot with the love of her life that, “Is she pregnant yet?” apparently got to be a bit of a joke. As I told her grandma today, if she does get pregnant she better want that baby a whole lot if she stays in Texas.
