"It's not just about the women . . . "

A friend posted this on Facebook -- I thought it was worth sharing here:

It's not just about the women. It's about their husbands, their boyfriends, their parents: everyone who supports them in any way. It's about the other children in the family, it's about the jobs that the women will struggle to keep. And of course it's about the women who because of extreme youth/age or health reasons should absolutely not be risking pregnancy and childbirth.

I want Alito to look a 10 year old girl--a fifth grader--in the eye, and tell her she has to carry a baby to term that was fathered by her own father. That it doesn't matter if it wrecks her health. That it doesn't matter if her classmates make fun of her. That it doesn't matter if her child is raised in the home of a rapist, unless she puts it up for adoption. That it doesn't matter if she will never be a child again herself.

That it just doesn't matter.

And even if he did, he would just turn and walk away.

Women have the right to live our own lives without other people sticking their noses in our bedrooms, or medical charts.

I bet Mrs. Alito gives him the finger when his back is turned

Then there's the fact that incest has been proven to cause severe genetic problems.

These "judges" are just idiots.

On the same page, my pal.

in danger. Of course, that should include things like owning guns that the writers had no knowledge of at the time or refusing to wear a mask during a public health emergency.

Instead it will be anything the corporations that own the Republican party are against.
