Abortion should be legal and free and there should be clinics on every federal plot of land where it makes sense to have one.
Why didn't Obama and his majority congress fail to Codify Roe? Do you know what excuse they used that time?
I agree wholeheartedly, I am in full support of full autonomy no matter what.
You’ll have to ask Obama why he didn’t. I can’t control political asshats, just like political asshats shouldn’t be controlling abortion rights.
So just to be clear, neither party is going to protect you. The Democrats didn't protect you when they had the chance, Biden doesn't use his executive powers now, and that won't change with Kamala in office.
And why would it? The party gets to collect way more money and keep leading people on as long as they vote. And if they just conveniently forget to do anything they keep their new Republican done buddies too!
Instead of hoping, join an org and help us build a movement that will actually protect women. Not just with words, but with deeds. DSA is a good starting point.
is also good. There's also Maoist orgs and Trot orgs and other groups but honestly don't worry too much about the nitty gritty theory right now. Just get involved somewhere and you can organize with people to protect abortion clinics, go with women and protect them from the right wing, get an "underground railroad" type program going to help women get abortions out of state, distribute morning-after pills, etc.
It will feel MUCH better to actually do something about it in your neighborhood than just vote and hope for the best.
I’ll look into those.
I agree that both sides are never going to actually do anything to make life for the “rest of us” better.
Im tired of the political show both sides do where they are “weekend at bernies”ing the constitution,
Unfortunately I remember all of the bad things Trump did while in office, and I’ve heard enough bullshit from him this time around that I feel like his desire to become a dictator is enough to speak up about preventing his ascension to power again.
I understand it's a scary situation. We can't let fear control us. When we organize and work together to solve these problems on the ground we will realize our collective power. And that's where true hope starts.
Best of luck on your journey.
Wish you'd paid attention to all the bad things that happened after he left office
