I've let the leak from the Supreme Court regarding Roe v. Wade marinate in my brain and emotions for a day. I can't let it ruin my life alone any longer. To say I am disappointed would make me sound too much like Susan Collins to let me continue to claim my Democrat allegiance. So I will declare I am outraged at:
1) The audacity of Mitch McConnell to deny then President Obama the right to choose a Supreme Court Justice with his sham reason that it was too close to an election.
2) The same audacity from the same man who allowed a never in any way qualified to be President man to nominate and get 3 conservative justices whose only reason for being appointed was to overturn Roe.
3) The absolute blind stupidity of all of the people out there who thought that a never in any way qualified to be President man would make a good president. This (and too many other things to be listed here) is on all of you.
4) The smarminess of anyone in the GOP who thinks it is a good idea to limit a woman's choice, especially those women who find themselves pregnant because of rape, incest, domestic violence or simply a momentary lapse in judgement. What is the GOP plan to deal with the thousands of children who would now be born into homes who do not want them, can't afford to feed them, will abuse them? Ah, I see there is no plan because the social safety nets are the Democrats responsibility. I tell you all now, the Democrats are sick and tired of having to clean up the messes the GOP creates with their patriotic, Christian legislation, especially when they have to fight tooth and nail for the funding to do the cleaning.
I can only add that while I personally am of an age where I will never have to consider what my limited options might be in the future with regard to abortion, I am fearful that this is just the first step down a road to limit everyone's choices with regard to their personal lives, and that makes me very angry, especially as it seems to be targeting women and women alone. News flash for the GOP and all the Bible clutching conservatives: Women are people, equal to men and we are not backing down from this fight or any other one that threatens our rights. You and your poster boys (Trump, Putin et al) may think we are the weaker sex but we are not. If men had to bear children, you bet abortion would be legal!
