Are you feeling uneasy?

[Stinky The Clown]

I am.

I keep looking at this map and do not see a pretty picture. And while this map is about abortion, it may be even worse for other issues.

1. VERY!!!!

[hamsterjill]

2. Most definitely uneasy.

Mostly ABOUT the abortion issue although you’re right and this map is indicative of many things.

I’m also pissed off because exactly WHERE is the outrage over the overturning of Roe v Wade? Women make up over half of the population and in all honesty, I’ve seen nothing of substance in the fight to keep our rights to control our bodies. Yes, there have been a few legal cases, etc.

But I ask again - where is the outrage???

3. We saw some of it during the midterm vote.

Republicans were counting on a red wave which didn't happen.

[BlackSkimmer]

5. Good question.

I saw many posts here about how many posters were taking to the streets, but I never saw any follow up about that.

4. The legislature and governor in Montana want to be on that map.

They are fighting out as we type.

6. So does Utah, North Dakota, Indiana and Ohio

The only thing stopping them are state courts.

8. Add Florida

9. I was... but not yet.

Only because the legislature hasn't pass their 6-week ban yet.

7. Very. No matter how much so many Americans hate Republican policies, they'll still stupidly...

...give the Republicans doing all of this anti-abortion, anti-woke shit full power over the entire country if they happen to be unhappy enough with Biden (even for things that aren't Biden's fault) when November 2024 rolls around.

10. Have been for years, but knew we were in trouble when people said they would riot when Roe fell.

[PlanetBev]

11. I've been outraged since 1976

That’s when the Republicans added an anti-choice plank to their platform and began wooing the Christian Right. I joined NARAL, gave money to the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. I’ve also marched in many protests. I just gave $50 to The Brigid Alliance, an organization that helps women in these anti-choice states with travel, lodging, etc. to get the care they need.

Marching is great, but there’s many more things you can do on an individual level. At 72, I’m kind of marched out. I’m hoping many more young people will pick up the mantle and fight.

[Sky Jewels]

12. I think the age of big protest marches may be past.

We should probably funnel all that effort and energy and money into grassroots efforts to take all governments back from the ground up.

13. I would love to see a resort open in Cairo (Southern tip of Illinois) that features

weed, fishing and golf, casinos, and comprehensive women's health services.

Cairo is nearly a ghost town in a beautiful, scenic area. We could offer hospitality and healthcare to the folks from these backwards states and revive the economy of Southern Illinois at the same time.

[Initech]

14. Every day it gets worse.

Every day I wake up and keep thinking "what fresh hell has the GOP dragged us into today"? Fuck them all.

[roamer65]

15. Rather 1860'ish, isn't it?

The red is going to get redder and the blue will get bluer.

That will happen via migration, political and climate related.

[allegorical oracle]

16. Definitely. About abortion and so many other issues both nationally and in my state. Every day

it's something new to get upset about. Would be somewhat at ease if/when tfg is indicted...except his MAGAts are so volatile.

[Metaphorical]

18. Unfortunately TFG behind bars won't stop it

Trump behind bars becomes a cause celebre. Trump assassinated becomes a martyr.

Increasingly, the people who are behind the neo-secession movement may actually prefer a dead Trump to a live one, especially if he is publicly assassinated.

17. The Confederacy is, sadly, alive and well.
