But it is what the fascists wanted.

The loss of federal abortion protections has launched America into a new reality: The ability to access abortion depends on where you live. Millions of people have been impacted by this shift, but among the most vulnerable are transgender men and nonbinary and gender-nonconforming people. Without the abortion protections provided under Roe v. Wade, this group — already facing discrimination in medical treatment — suddenly are up against barriers that will be insurmountable for many

Normally there would be no chance of trying to extend US criminal and civil jurisdiction into Canada against Canadian doctors, but all the crazy pants legislation, like Texas’ vigilante lawsuits, needs a solid “NO! FUCK OFF!” at the border.
Within the US, the free states had better start thinking about this too.

According to a report from the Politico Playbook, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced to leave popular Washington D.C. eatery Morton’s through a back door after a group of angry protesters showed up out front after he had been spotted.
Good, don’t give these fascist fucks a moment of peace.
A spokesperson for Morton’s issued a statement confirming the incident and expressing outrage claiming, "Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant.”
The statement continued, "Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”
A giant fuck you to Morton’s spokesperson. Bodily autonomy is more important than a peaceful dinner.

Not to the patrons of Morton’s, especially not that particular location.
Thanks to their spokesman, though, I am now a former (admittedly infrequent) patron of that steakhouse chain, and will find alternative ones in the future.

The right to eat at expensive DC steakhouses is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.

It’s just like anti abortion protestors outside clinics, Brett.
Nothing can be done. Though unlike some scared young woman seeking health care - you have a security detail.
Walk out the front - like she had to.

What was it like finding yourself with no option but a back alley, Brett?

Yep. This isn’t politics. It’s human rights. People who effectively order the killing or inprisonment of thousands of people do not have any particular right to enjoy a peaceful dinner out.

And yet there will be a whole lot of “Oh Noes! Don’t be mean to the fascists, it will make them mad and then they will be even worse!” They will always be as evil as they think they can get away with. No matter how nice you are, if they sense any resistance or disagreement they will turn on you in a fury. There is no compromise with fascists. Ever.

Wait, wait, wait, so, if congregating to eat dinner in a pricey restaurant is a “right,” remind me again why we have so many hungry people in this country? 
There are so many sweet burns on this thread already, I went to check Morton’s Twitter but couldn’t find anything.

Re: the spread at the top of their page
Ok, it’s not brilliant, but appropriately harsh.
ETA: Morton’s started blocking people from posting at some point.
ETAA: This is better:

Especially the ladies as in the future they will not be allowed to eat out in public without their man’s permission.
Morton’s will be providing food and beverage services for Jezebel’s in the near future.
