@NateSilver538 They showed a guy on Last Week Tonight saying even if the sexual assault allegations were true, he was supporting K anyway because he "wants abortion to stop." If only I had three minutes to talk sense into every person saying/thinking that. Maybe Twitter can get the job done? /1
@NateSilver538 First of all, overturning Roe will NOT stop abortion. The child in the Last Week Tonight video probably has no that there were abortions before Roe. Everywhere. Legal in some states, illegal in others. Overturning Roe will not make abortion stop. Anywhere. Women will go back to/2
@NateSilver538 traveling to the Blue states where it will still be legal. Some will use ancient and modern home remedies. Some will be desperate enough for the coat hanger, knitting needles and crochet hook. Underground sisterhood knowledge about home abortion will flourish on social media./3
@NateSilver538 that women didn't have pre-Roe. Every community will have its own Vera Drake. In fact, a lot of this is already happening NOW because of the draconian restrictions on access to abortion care in so many Republicon controlled parts of the country. Women have helped each other /4
@NateSilver538 deal with this issue ever since the dawn of time & reversing Roe won't change that. As the wise saying goes: making abortion illegal won't stop abortion, it will just stop poor women from getting medically safe ones. I ask the very young man in the "Women for Kavanaugh" video /5
@NateSilver538 and all the other people who call themselves "pro-life" why the LIVES of those ALREADY BORN women don't matter (a rhetorical question I know the answer to and which I don't expect him to answer honestly). I ask all the Republicons who claim to believe in "small government" why /6
@NateSilver538 they see no problem with The State forcing girls & women to be pregnant against their will, when they freak out about "government control" of medical care in so many other areas. I know deplorables have trouble understanding difficult subjects & prefer being told what to think./7
@NateSilver538 So is there ANY authority figure they respect who will explain to them: overturning Roe will NOT stop abortion. As a result, that is NOT a good reason to set aside whatever other values they claim to have, just to put a temperamentally unfit man like #Kavanaugh on the S.Ct. /end
