Started a shitstorm on FB this evening, re: Holly Lobby

Just said I was going to block anyone who is in favor of the SCOTUS decision today. My Southern friends are coming out. I feel I'll have a much lighter Friends list by tomorrow morning.

I still see them, still get together a few times a year on trips home. We just leave religion out if it. This might change things, and I can't say I care.

We must shame all rightwingers, for their racism, misogyny and just overall hate and ignorance.

Either America breaks up into 3 or 4 different countries or provinces, or we shame these people into growing up

has to be one or the other

I grew up in Florida. Many of my old friends went all religious after the fun if the 70's. Now I live in liberal New England. I know very few people up here who agree with the Holly Lobby decision.

As typos go, I must let that one stand! As many times as I've typed that name today I'm surprised it's only the first time.

From one friend who went to Bob Jones Unversity who said she and her daughter will no longer shop at Hobby Lobby - that women use birth control for things other than to not have children.

Lots of men friends supportive as well who say why is Viagra always covered, no problem.

A few who said just pay for it yourself, it is about personal responsibility. Others said, okay, let's eliminate coverage for lung cancer if you are a smoker etc., if you want personal responsibility.

By trying to put overweight people into another category. Just wait and see what incredibly profane, despicable stuff this decision will engender.

Let's just divorce health care from employment completely! NOW.
