It’s a Terrible Moment that will churn into Years: Texas + Abortion Rights

article image placeholderOpinion | In the Dead of Night, the Supreme Court Proved It Has Too Much Power
The implications of this failing of the Supreme Court will make your blood boil if you are anyone who understands how it feels to be a human being, who's afraid, who wants choice, who wants to be in control of their own body. It's a terrible time for women, particularly in Texas. But let's face it, this is a ripple. This is going to ripple out. So I probably will come back into this conversation if it opens up

Sorry for the rant, got a little too passionate

And then when you piece them all together, it was like, oh, my goodness, I would not see that. But at the time when they were in it, they didn't see it. And I think I can't remember if it's in the book, but definitely in the program. There's a scene where June does this that and puts loads of newspaper clippings and said, we allowed this to happen

Indeed, the places where personal freedom is most invoked against vaccines and masses are the very places where reproductive freedom is most restricted. And yet I don't have a f*** laden screed for this moment. What I have is memory. Oh, I have more time. I'm going to continue. Hold on. What I have is memory

I've been talking till I'm blue in the face of people saying women are not equal, we need to still push really hard. We're only a hair breath away is having all taken away from us again. And Texas, and this ruling has just shown that a few days ago, women in Texas had more rights over their own body and their own fertility, their own contraception, their own rights to be able to do what they need to do with their own bodies and their own futures

It just shows how we need more activists with skills like Sean's, because he went in there and made a wreck of a place. And it's just an awesome story. Here's the link
