I'm 75 years old now - and lived in Hawaii during the 1970s. Sure, we were fighting alongside Gloria Steinem for women's rights and the right to choose - not to have a baby. But it was never much of an issue there in the islands. I did celebrate Roe in 1973 - but to believe that could come to an end, never entered my mind. Now I live in Denver - not too far from Colorado Springs where we have REGULAR murders - in the open - of abortion doctors and workers at Planned Parenthood Clinics. It's pretty hard to take the always-present LET'S MAKE THINGS HARDER FOR WOMEN - or just beat them the hell up and hopefully kill them. Whenever I see some slogan like - "America - Home of the Free and the Brave" - I just want to PUKE. Yeah, long as you're a WHITE MAN. This is how my entire life has felt. Whenever I visit a country where women are actually celebrated - HELL YES, I want to stay. Even Catholic countries like Argentina are winning abortion rights. So, AMERICA - WTAF??? The Supreme Court is so corrupt now - NO HOPE.

Has it ever struck you, when one of the tyrants goes, like, hey, we aren't extreme, we just want "reasonable" limits: that's what Roe was? They act like, Roe was anything goes, States can't regulate anything, whatever stage of gestation is meaningless.... When that wasn't Roe at all.
