I had to sign up for the draft. But that’s pretty much it.
Also, IMHO r.e. the leak, so the court was set to release this later this summer right? Allowing this out prior to that sends pretty big signal prior to primary elections set to happen later this summer. I’m guessing that if this hadn’t been “leaked” that this would have come out a little too late to influence elections, and someone decided that a conservative show of power was likely to be more motivational than liberal backlash against the leak (or that video of protests could be used in conservative fascist power grabs much like BLM/Antifa became the scapegoat for all of white america’s ills).
Putting this back seeing as it was a reply to a comment that no longer exists. It is left as an exercise to the reader to wonder why that is.
Thousands upon thousands of real people are freaking out today, with girls born today having potentially less rights to their own bodies than their own grandmothers had, real people scared for their futures, looking for healthcare and safety, knowing this could lead to death for so many people.
Some people get to just discuss it at a distance, knowing it will barely affect them.
Like me, and I am really angry and worried about this.
If the supreme court seriously overturned that law, I don’t know how this authoritarian bullshit cannot lead to paint suffering, and more violence against women.
As a white European man, this won’t directly affect mez probably. But fuck this shit anyway, because human rights are supposed to be fucking universal!
Men in the USA, we should be shouting as loud as our partners, mothers, sisters, and friends right now, and into the Midterms, then beyond to the 2024 elections.
Women already have to shoulder the burden of abortions.
Don’t make them shoulder all the burden of fighting for the right to have them too.
This is our fight as well.
I incorrectly posted to the wrong thread, so I may have double posted.
Even if the “leak” story had any legs to begin with (which it doesn’t – as @anon61221983 stated, this is about women’s rights), but even if it did, how, pray tell, is a draft opinion considered non-public information to begin with?? Is it simply precedent/tradition? How is it not US citizenry property to begin with?
