Roe V Wade Already Being Overturned State By State By Passing Obstruction Laws ----

that make health services for women impossible to access. And these laws go beyond making abortion unavailable. We know they want to end contraception as well, yet the RW fundies are still moving forward more aggressively than before.

What is most bothersome about the movement is that women are losing their rights and the RW is also stopping them from publicly protesting as well. Look at what happened in Virginia.

fucked up country have the christofascist theocracy it wants so damned bad. And if the majority who don't want it sit on their hands and let it happen, they deserve it.

I feel especially angry and bitter towards women on the right who have completely betrayed their sisters, selling us out for their fifty pieces of silver.
