I’ve been writing abt Republican assault on women’s rights since 2010. We had an entire section on @politicususa dedicated to bills GOP pushed in every state.

Lots of people tried to convince me this would never happen. They told me to relax. Bill Maher just lectured us that we don’t know real oppression, even though pregnancy is most lethal time for women.

3 women a day are murdered in this country by controlling abusive partners. Pregnancy is most lethal time. Forced pregnancy from rape a form of control.

Control over our medical decisions is literally life and death for women.

Controlling reproduction is a cornerstone of authoritarianism.

#Gilead

Controlling reproduction has nothing to do with Christianity. The Bible is being used as cover for the power grab.

Women will die as a result of this SCOTUS. Women will be terrorized. It incentivized rape by controlling men.

We knew this was coming. Sorry so few people cared.

President Biden on SCOTUS re Texas: “This law is so extreme it does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. And it not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman—it actually incentivizes them…”

“For the majority to do this without a hearing, without the benefit of an opinion from a court below, and without due consideration of the issues, insults the rule of law and the rights of all Americans to seek redress from our courts.”

“I am directing that Council +Office of WH Counsel to launch a whole-of-govt effort to respond to this decision, looking specifically to the DHHS + DOJ to see what steps Fed Government can take to ensure that women in Tx have access to safe+legal abortions as protected by Roe…”

I have been making the case that Republicans would do what they just did for a long time and almost no one agreed with me.

Now that you can all see what the Republican Party has become, let’s talk about WHY and HOW to fix our country.

I have a list.

Perfect storm created this GOP:

- Gerrymandering = less accountability
- Citizens United = loyalty to $
- For profit news= drama is king
- He said/she said journalism enables lies
- Republicans got away w/ outrageous power grabs
- Disinformation assists from Russia et al

@allontheline

People should:

- Support fair maps/local chapter of @allontheline

- Build reliable change from ground up by focusing on local elections

- Vote in every single election

- Don’t support media that traffics Trump/GOP conspiracies
