The GOP USSC hurts women and theirs

[Erika]

Two cases I know personally of are the mother who learned in her third trimester that her baby would not survive the birthing process because the baby had only one heart chamber. Under the Republican rule, she would be required to undergo labor to deliver a dead and stressed baby.

The second was a mother who learned in the third trimester that her baby had extreme spina bifada who would survive birth but who would be born in pain and die shortly after birth.

Th Republican USSC Catholic men have decided the women will bear the child regardless of the pain and emotional costs to the woman and her child. Their will will be done. They are big brother male Taliban government putting women in their lowly place.

1. There are only two things to be done

1. Impeach all of the SCOTUS justices that voted to install Bush as President. It was out of their jurisdiction, yet they did it anyway.
2. When we have a Democratic majority, increase the sitting members on the court to dilute the poisonous mix while simultaneously amending the Constitution that will not allow it to be increased again.

Our country is at a crossroads unlike any it has ever seen. So much damage that has to be undone before new business can even start.

2. Under this USSC GOP Supreme Court

women have become second class citizens with their decisions discounted and their body becoming property of the Court.

Yes, they should be impeached and Republicans tossed out the door.

4. It didn't help us,...

...that there are women that don't understand what was at stake.

I can't tell you how many women I had "the discussion" with prior to 2000, that just didn't get that this was the guy that was going to take away years of work, progress and rights. Some just vote the way their husbands tell them to. Others seemed incapable of independent thought, followers that do whatever the talking heads on Faux news tell them to do.

For all the women that enjoy the benefits of equality, so many take it all for granted and don't understand HOW their rights came into existence to begin with.

Men here on DU often ignore women's issues. Maybe you will attract some.
