According to the Unites States Senate Judiciary Committee, a Georgia medical committee has just confirmed the second, preventable abortion-related death in that state, since the Dobbs ruling.
There are no words to describe this moment. How many women and girls have to die or have to suffer for no other reason than to follow the abortion laws of the land. It is unconscionable. Yet, here we are. And I want to stare these conservative SCOTUS judges, and the ISC (Iowa Supreme Court), and have them look into the eyes of a pregnant woman in pain and ask:
“Is this what you intended? To slowly kill this woman? Why? Why did you overturn Roe? What were you thinking? Are you satisfied with the wrath that you have unleashed?”
I wish all conservative judges could be exposed to the level of pain that these women have had to endure and press them for answers. Each and every time someone dies, expose them to this reciprocal level of pain. This is what your recent ruling created. This is the legal chaos you have created.
And to think that Donald Trump is still very close to becoming the next president all over again. Yes, our country is an awful mess. Its shameless delight in pushing down women again and again knows no end. There is something quite awful with our systems of government to allow this cancer to grow.
So many feelings come up when I read about these tragic stories, it's heartbreaking, maddening and enraging all at the same time. That women die in this country in the year 2024 due to lack of basic medical care because 6 un-elected, self-proclaimed kings decided that their own ideology supersedes the rights of millions of Americans. It's vulgar! Take out the names and states and you could easily think this was in some far flung country with poor infrastructure, lack of medicine, poverty and doctors doing their best in terrible situations. But NOPE this is right here in the good ol' USA. I guess this is the "great" in the MAGA catchphrase, make America Great Again at killing women. This fuckin place is a train wreck. We must never forget this was done by one Fat Don Trump, who I can only imagine has funded many abortions himself but he wasn't alone. An army of whacked out ideologues across the country lined up in droves to impose and now enforce their barbaric laws, all blessed by a Supreme Mullah Court that is so far beyond redemption I'm not sure if they would even be taken seriously reffing a high school mock trial. I hope Harris has very smart people around her coming up with plans to combat this rogue runaway court, otherwise her election will be for naught.
