About

The "Death of Roe" refers to the now-expected overturn of the Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision [W] which made it illegal for states to outlaw abortion. This decision has been affirmed by SCOTUS countless times since, and yet the six "conservatives" now on the GOP-packed bench see no problem in overturning what has been well-established precedent for five decades.

Republicans ought to stand openly, boldly, and unashamedly for life from conception and to protect all life in the womb.» They clearly consider wombs to be their property.
    • democracy.town/@MariaHill «Pay attention to these fights in states like Virginia, where even though Republicans have taken over part of state government, there are still a lot of Democrats in power. Virginia elected Republican governor Youngkin and Republicans control the state House, but Democrats still hold the state Senate. [...]»
