My deal is that between 1-3 Supreme Court Justices are likely to be appointed in the next 4-8 years. 2 of the ones checking out are more liberal leaning.
South Dakota is voting on what is essentially a ban on abortions and it has a good chance of passing. With a Republican in office, the balance of the Justices will shift to a point that almost any conservative agenda would have more legs in the Supreme Court. And that South Dakota deal will provide the legal precedent to overturn Roe v. Wade.
I'm not sure how much I can stress to you how wonderful I think abortions are. I....I...I don't know what I'd do in a country without legal abortions.
And don't tell me to vote third party. In a perfect world that would be a vote for legal, sumptuous abortions. But in the world we actually live in. The vote for knee growth is the only vote for "fuck kids."
