I do believe that the Republicans will go after the ACA again, if for no other reason than they always have and always will, but I still think that next on the Supreme Court's "hit list" is Obergefell. I'd also say that Griswold is in danger, as is Loving. My "Do you REALLY think that they will go there?" prediction is that Brown v. Board of Education might be on the chopping block as well. Too extreme, one might say? Not with THIS Supreme Court. The majority in Alito's bitter, angry, disingenuous opinion has managed to make John Roberts look like a moderate (which he most certainly is not). That's how far right they are.
In 1977 I volunteered at the first and only PP clinic to offer abortions in MN. I was a nursing student and I taught birth control to teens. One February night I was driving home from picking husband up from law school and saw an explosion and fire at the clinic I had left thirty minutes earlier. I called the fire dept (no 911 then, just the operator) and once they arrived I raced across the street to my apartment and called Tom Webber, PP Exec Director. He came immediately.
In my year of working there I had been harassed by picketers, had my car (parked in my apartment parking lot) vandalized, and was repeatedly followed to school at the College of St Catherine. I have been an avid activist since my own abortion in 1973, mere months after Roe. I refuse to accept a world where abortion is criminalized!
