They lied. They cheated. They won.
During confirmation hearings, two Trump-appointed members of the Supreme Court said Roe was ‘settled law.’
They lied.
They [Grassley and Ernst among them] said Obama’s appointment was too soon before the election, then the Trump-appointed nominee - offered days before the election - MUST be appointed [Grassley and Ernst among them']. They cheated.
For fifty years, women had the Constitutional right to decide their reproductive health. Note: ‘had’ - the past tense.
They won.
Hey, I’ve written about this. I want to hear from you. In the comment section below, tell me what you think, feel, and any actions you will take.
What’s your reaction? Do you care?
I can't believe Iowa is going back to the dark ages. I am so glad that when my daughter became a single mom in her 20s that she at least had the option open to her if she felt she needed it. There are a myriad of reasons of how and why girls become pregnant at different ages and phases of life. For men to impose their will on women is ludicrous. Not only this but a lot of things going on in Iowa makes me almost embarrassed to admit that I am born and raised here. I know what the Bible says about killing but ultimately I haven't walked a mile in the shoes of these women. I believe that whatever we do here on this earth good and bad, will be judged by only One Person and no one else has the right to rule other peoples lives arbitrarily. I also think the men should be forced to step up and help parent and pay for the child and not go on their merry way. Girls sleep around and they are sluts and whores. Guys sleep around and "it's different". Can't believe the double standard still exists in the 21st Century.
I am enraged. This decision is hailed as "pro- life" by the same conservative followers who refused to mask and vaccinate against a deadly communicable virus. This is about power and control over women, minorities, and other vulnerable groups. 😢
