I agree.
This court is now in Kangaroo territory, and I dont mean to insult Kangaroos.
I am absolutely devastated by this ruling. Embarrassed, sad, angry, tearful, depressed, scared, and demoralized. At 68, I am pretty sure the last part of my life in this country is going to be extremely sad and distressful.
There is a march today that I could attend. But its 40 miles away, gas prices are just shy of $5/gal, and its going to feel like 90 degrees F. We are in a MAGA/purple area of a Blue state with concrete abortion rights. The point of marching is to make our voices heard. Unless it makes the news, no one is going to give 2 $hits about the March up here. I can hear passers by saying, whats all the fuss about? Weve got ours.
.. Oh look! A sale on bathing suits at WalMart! Lets go!!
Ive been to two in the last 6 weeks and had good turn outs. I hope I hear later on that todays is well attended and received. If it was closer, I would go. But I just dont have it in me.
Edit at 5:28 PM. I decided to go the the march, and Im glad I did. I just need to get involved again and commiserate with others. We marched, we chanted, we talked and planned. So so glad I went. It was hot, but I took Iced tea and kept hydrated and sugared!! Woohoo!!
