2. Gerrymandering affects legislative bodies.Every time one of these laws has been put to a direct vote

...of the people, those laws have been rejected. But up there in their state legislatures, it is a different story.

As you know, this has been a very long term project (30+ years) of fanatics hell-bent on making women's bodies the property of men again. Roe vs Wade hangs by a thread in the SCOTUS as challenges to these many state laws work their way up.

I've been very perturbed that there have been a spate of DU-comments this year claiming that all is well and Roe cannot be overturned -- that the fault lies only in the South and only with stupid women who support stupid men, and that the Lysistrata-fantasy will work.

I hope you will join me in my effort to educate them otherwise.
