Abortion rights have been vanishing swiftly. The reaction from the right? celebration

from the left? Maybe if we ignore it, it's not really happening. Roe is still the law of the land.

Where are middle class women of child bearing years?

Where are our leaders in Congress?

Where are women like Hillary Clinton who have a large platforms?

Where are the tv ads with big stars?

We don't even like to talk about it.

Can you think of another Constitutional right that's so imperiled with so little push back?

Do you actually need that explained to you?

2) It's harder in every way for the poor to organize effectively. It costs money to do that and resources.

Until middle class women of childbearing years start fighting back, it's hard to see how we fight back effectively.
