"SNIP......

A new Wall Street Journal poll finds that the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has made 83% of Democrats likelier to vote in November, compared to just 31% of Republicans.

The poll also shows support for legalizing abortion ticking up: Sixty percent of voters think the procedure should be legal most or all of the time (up from 55% in March), while just 6% want a complete ban without exceptions (down from 11%).

Abortion is simply a health care procedure. Making it illegal just makes it dangerous. I celebrated Roe v. Wade in 1973 when I was 15. I am very angry that it was overturned at my age of 64. No way, you Trump-appointed Supreme Court fascists. We will not go back to the era of back alley abortions. Never.

with enough ignorant asshole justices to overturn Roe v. Wade. To me, the supreme court is worthless now, it's just political hacks for the most part. Fairness and justice, what a joke.
