Over turning Roe will mean that women will die and not receive the healthcare that they need

It means that state legislatures can pass laws negatively affecting the healthcare and information that women need. It's not practical for women to travel to a pro-choice state unless we enact some nouveau underground railroad, and even if we do, that will open up a Pandora's box of future conflict between states.

Soo, sad for about six weeks until they find the next replacement.

Any parent who doesn't educate their daughters (and sons too, for sure) about this particularly ugly aspect of RW conservatism will rue the consequences of their failure.

Just as I see the media normalizing all the horrors of this administration, so too have I seen both media and our society ignoring, excusing, denying all the horrors of RW policies the past 70 years.

Average Americans are fungible to wealthy and powerful conservatives.

Next up, a race to ensure fewer 'Average Americans' have the opportunity to vote.

all the women who will die in violent domestics. Back in the day, he would say it's not mine. DNA will take that all away. Men aren't always pleased to be financially on the hook for 18 plus years.
While the rich in America will always be able to get their lady on side to a location to take care of her problem (not my wisdom), the regular joes and the young will lose their damn minds.

So women, will die at a higher rate. Parents get your teenaged girls on birth control, it may save her life.

This might be a downer post, but I worked 911 for over 9 years. I've heard so much violence, especially with domestics.
