14. So, this is going to go to the packed RepubliCON Supreme Court

May 2019

The court filled with W, and Trump appointees are going to say that's ok. You know they will. They'll put in some mealy mouthed BS but it will just embolden the other religious crazies to do the same thing in their states. So, state by state the religious crazies will ensure we have no abortion rights, which pretty much is already happening with regulating abortion clinics out of existence.

Then what are you...the poor and middle class women who are impacted by these religious laws...going to do? I'm an old man and it really doesn't impact me much.

Those women of rich white capitalist kings are fine. The daughters and granddaughters of Bill Gates will still have access, if they want. The Walton girls will just go to another country when they need an abortion. The Bezos' girl will be fine if she needs that medical procedure. Warren Buffet's granddaughters will get any medical care they need. It's just the rest of American women hood who will suffer under these religious laws against women's bodies.

So, why are the American kings wanting to do this to us? Why are they allowing such 3rd world laws to destroy American women's lives? Why are they pushing this? You know the Waltons, the Wal Mart heirs, live in Alabama and if they didn't want such 3rd world nonsense passed as legislation, it wouldn't pass. The Waltons could stop this in a heartbeat.....hell Alice Walton got off scott free after drinking and running over a woman who died from the injuries. Alice was never charged. So, why does American capitalist royalty want to make American women suffer so?
