Mississippi Asks Supreme Court to Overrule Roe v. Wade

I don't know if this is news. I just read it today.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/politics/mississippi-roe-v-wade-abortion/index.html

Mississippi's attorney general told the Supreme Court on Thursday that Roe v. Wade was "egregiously wrong" and should be overturned as she urged the justices to allow a controversial law that bars most abortions after 15 weeks to go into effect.
"The conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right has no basis in text, structure, history, or tradition" state Attorney General Lynn Fitch told the justices in a new brief, launching the opening salvo in the most important abortion-related dispute the court has heard in decades.
Fitch said that the case for overruling Roe is "overwhelming."

God Damned fuckers.

1. When Hillary Clinton, 2016, tried to warn voters of this very urgent need to hold tthe SC

She was mocked, vilified, scorned & her name, her life of women's & human rights advancement was buried under denigrating memes & slogans.
Just as the same struggle shown throughout the entire history of women against the authoritarian patriarchy of men, & unbelievably..the women who opportunistically jumped on that clear silencing of generations of struggle, by dragging this one woman's name thru the dirt.
SHAME ON YOU ALL.

And where did it all get us today?

OWN THIS SHIT. YOU ESPECIALLY MEDIA.


Here it is. Read It.

A whole bunch of people gave the GOP that opportunity in 2016.
Handed it right over to them.

Waiting for all the culpable players to suddenly be shouting "Women's Rights!!", campaigning, sloganeering & fundraising on their miserable self serving folly.


You fking gave it to them!

Every person who voted for Jill Stein or who decided not to vote need to account for the fact that Roe is likely to be overturned due to their vote or non vote
