I tried telling people that their vote in the 2016 election was about the Supreme Court and protecting Roe. They all thought Roe was safe. It’s not a great feeling that I was right. Today’s anniversary brings up a lot of unhappy memories. Thanks for talking about it.
People do not seem to understand that when they vote for president and for senators, they are voting for who will be appointed not just to the Supreme Court but to the Federal Courts. The Democrats need to make that a major point in elections. We also need to be thankful that President Biden and Senator Schumer worked hard to fill so many vacancies during Biden's term and the Democratic control of the Senate.
The rights of women and children are LESS than fetuses. Women die for lack of care, and children die in school shootings, and legislators refuse to address gun laws. Because we don't matter.
Completely disappointed with SCOTUS. They are so entrenched with MAGA and Trump, that they have forgotten their decisions actually AFFECT us! Frustrating.
Oh this presentation was wonderful!!! Katie and Leah are a dynamic duo! We learned the ugly truth about these legal decisions in a way that helped us deal with them. Thank you for this and Katie, keep on going and bring Leah back when you can. 🩷
Wouldn't fetal rights open pregnant women to prosecution if they are deemed to be harming their fetus in some way? Think of a mother who is taking drugs, or not getting regular maternal care, etc. Seems a very slippery slope. Who decides a fetus's rights are being transgressed? What are the rights of a father in this situation? Are they mandated reporters? Would they be prosecuted as aiding and abetting violation of a fetus's rights?
WTF is this supreme court doing !they are not at all, considering the voice of the people!! What can we do as citizens to express our out range to this court?
The six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court don't care about the law, the Constitution, nor the American people. Their religious beliefs take precedence of all.
As an old woman grateful that Roe held up when I needed it most, I am gutted that women who can still be permanently damaged by its overturn must refight that fight. But you new women are smarter, stronger, and better educated than we were way back then. You will win. I will do what I can, but it's your win.
This is why women are stronger than men. We have to be to survive. Some of us don't survive anyway. We must never forget our sisters who have been sabotaged by these fake christians who don't value life - they value the power to subjugate others to submit to their primitive ideas of God's alleged will. My question to them is a variation of George Carlin's question to the priest: If this is God's will, God will do it Godself. STFU puny humans.
In the short term, we need a Democratic Senate in order to block Trump's chance of nominating another justice, should one of the current ones step down or die in office. We also need a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive choice.
I feel like we're living in an alternate reality like the "The Man in the High Castle" or "The Handmaid's Tale." I appreciate you both. Please continue uncovering these things.
The tones of these discussions always enrage me. People — including sadly these two brave, extremely well informed and dedicated women — seem to assume that we need to talk about the horrendous effects of dobbs as if they were somehow unknown to the insane fascists who decided the case; that somehow the actual, practical ramifications can be assumed to be unintentional, as if the SCOTUS sadists only knew, they would surely have decided differently. Well, FUCK THAT NOISE. That is absolutely NOT TRUE and anyone who is actually paying attention should get it. The deaths of women in reproductive distress and danger are completely the entire point of everything those SCOTUS creeps do. THEY ARE INSANE AND THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO KILL US. THEY WANT US TO BE TERRIFIED AND IN PAIN AND HUMILIATED AND INJURED AND, YES, DEAD. YOU NEED TO SAY THIS OUT LOUD OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL ENOUGH OF US SO THE REST WILL GIVE UP AND GO HOME IN FEAR. WHY ARE YOU NOT FOCUSED ON THIS?? Please, please, please move on from, gee, do ya’ think they knew? STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE SADISTS WHO HAVE DESIGNATED ALL AMERICAN WOMEN SEXUAL SLAVES WHOSE LIVES THEY CONTROL COMPLETELY!
So they say they want to "protect the fetus" but they send their GOONS TO KIDNAP AND DO GOD KNOWS WHAT TO THESE GIRLS AND BOYS AND BABIES...STRIPPING THEM FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND FAMILY..WTF

I wonder what the affect of one Republican state legislator in Florida having an ectopic pregnancy will be.
They want the family to pay hundreds of thousands after the zombie birth.
Fuck that

Women already are being prosecuted harming a fetus.
Thank you, Leah and Katie, for your encouraging and smart words.

Supreme court is very selfish
Fetus' have not been born in America. Therefore they are not entitled to due process rights according to the conduct of this administration.
And the appellate courts are complicit in expediting their own irrelevance.
ALOHA.. STAY STRONG, STAND UP FOR YOUR LIFE...TAKE CARE TO YOU AND YOURS
