You know what? I'm 65 and post-menopausal and I'm shaking with anger over Alito.

I can't accept that his unitary decision will effect ALL women, the economy, civil rights, and more.

It's like having my father exhumed from the grave.

It won't happen! It won't happen! It won't happen!

I will dedicate every day of my life to fighting this injustice.

1. I'd love to see him confronted and encircled by about 100 (unarmed but very angry) 65 yo women

Same as with TFG... They'd both be leaving visual tracks in their britches.

I'm damned tired of us coddling misogynistic cretins, of which there is a not-insignificant minority. FBI knows the danger that comes from the rise in incel-types, yet what is being done? Unfortunately, there are plenty of misogynists among LEO ranks as well. I do think most forces are trying to keep control over this situation, but damn-- I'm not sure they do a very good job.

5. Exactly

But you know what I want to see?

I want him to feel how his "decision" affects every man, woman, and child. I'm an atheist, but I can wish for accountability after death. If there were a purgatory, this is what I'd want:

No option/no choice

-he needs to be in the body of a kid raped and impregnated by her uncle before her menstrual cycle even got established.
-he needs to be a first year college student who was on the pill but still got pregnant. She/Alito doesn't really like the father, but... oh well. No more college for you.
-he needs to be a first year college student who was sleeping with a woman on the pill, but she still got pregnant, and now his mother is telling him she entrapped him, but now he has to do the right thing has to marry her.
-he needs to be a woman who really wants a child but her water breaks 4 months in. The fetus is dead, but she can't have it removed.
-he needs to be a mother who already has children. There's no way she can afford to travel for an abortion, and definitely there is no way she can afford another mouth to feed.

I just keep wishing these scenarios on the privileged, old white guys who never have been terrified because they missed a period. Sadly, these are just fantasies, and I feel impotent to stop them.

14. Yes. And thank you for this post.

Everyone who piously says abortions are wrong clearly has no comprehension of what it is really about.

2. Oh don't put it past these fuckwits to declare your marriage invalid

...because it's infertile, or wasn't conducted within whatever church they decide is legitimate. That was literally page 1 of The Handmaid's Tale as written by Atwood.

3. Don't forget to tell everyone

that if you lived in Russia, at least during the first 12 weeks, you could get one.
Ain't Merica Great, gonna have less freedums that those Russians.

4. I'd love to see him confronted and encircled by 5 (unarmed but very angry) 65 yo women. WOULD DO IT

i bet i could do it all by myself.

[localroger]

6. Just chalk a message on the sidewalk outside his house

He might become very concerned. Worked for Susie C.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Right, five angry women with chalk would terrify Alito.

[Rebl2]

12. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

He would probably come out with his legally obtained firearm and shoot them on the spot and get away with it.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes no consequences.

He is above the law like all GOP leaders.

[moonshinegnomie]

8. im a 60 yr old white guy

and im beyond anger. white hot hatred. if i posted what i want to do to alito and the gop id be arrested.

[piddyprints]

9. Same here.

And the men in my life just don’t get it. As a matter of fact, TFG seems to have brought out the inner asshole in all of them in other ways as well.

One of my daughters finally gets it, but would rather leave the country than fight. The other one? After 2 legal abortion years ago, I guess she’s ok with whatever because, you know, socialism.

If it weren’t for DU, I would be alone in the fight in my little circle. As the sign says, I can’t believe I’m still protesting this shit.

10. I hear you, girl

I'm even re-thinking my post-retirement activities, to help my young sisters in need.....yes indeed

11. Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh are Opus Dei. Opus Dei is a Catholic cult

Thomas is influenced by them.

http://churchandstate.org.uk/2019/03/opus-deis-influence-on-the-u-s-judiciary/

“Leonard Leo can take credit for installing four Supreme Court justices” – John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. “As executive vice president of the Federalist Society, Leo has been the quiet architect of a pivotal shift to the right throughout the federal judiciary” including “dozens of lower court federal judges across the country.”

It was Leo who prepared Trump’s “list of judges and the people that he’s put on the bench.”

Leo is on the board of directors of Opus Dei’s Catholic Information Center located at 15th and K Street, two blocks from the White House. The Center is “a rallying point for ultra-conservative Catholics eager for a voice in the secular halls of government power” and “advances a hard-right political agenda,” according to Church and State, Americans United for Separation of Church and State’s magazine.
...
Opus Dei is a secret society and an official arm of the Catholic Church. Its roots are in fascist Spain.

"Globally, Opus Dei’s reach is significant. Harper’s magazine reported recently that the organization holds assets of $2.8 billion."

15. Good for you! And you are not alone!

I’m 68 and attended my first rally on Mother’s day. I am headed to another one on this Saturday for one of the nation wide Women’s Marches. I have been making some signs to take along.

Just hope there isn’t any violence. I will cut and run if so. I’m not good at confrontation and afraid of police with pepper spray.

Hopefully the weather holds, but it’s supposed to be super hot like in the 90’s or something insane here in Northern New York. Yikes!

We can’t go back, we need to fight.
