Since when is it “overreach” to effectively say, “we don’t have this power; we never had this power; we’re turning it back to the people, to vote”?

So many folks are so wrapped up in their emotions & narrative, they don’t have any idea what actually happened. #RoeOverturned
1: I’m sharing the above because not because I think the silly thing Ocasio-Cortez said on a talk show is significant in some way, but because this is the same misunderstanding I see across Twitter, corporate media, & the entirety of the left. (I’ll be gracious and call it a
2:”misunderstanding” as opposed to an intentional misleading.) Pro-lifers, moderates, anyone who cares about The Constitution and our system of government, would do well to PUSH BACK on this narrative whenever you see it. Yes, we should unapologetically engage in our pro-life
3: arguments, but let’s not neglect to point out their egregious lack of understanding of and appreciation for the Constitution and the role of the Supreme Court.
For 49 years (probably longer), they’ve done a good job of convincing people they’re the party “of the people,” of
4: “democracy,” etc. But their outrage over the Dobbs decision, which sent the power to VOTE back TO THE PEOPLE, further proves that they’re anything but the party of everyday Americans. Let’s not forget that, and let’s correct these errors whenever we see them.

🧵 Shut up about men making decisions for women’s bodies. First off, YOU, the left, killed that argument in recent years by: 1) refusing to acknowledge that only women can get pregnant or indeed to even identify what a woman is, & 2) supporting a forced vaccine (that doesn’t even
stop transmission) just to participate in society.
So stop pretending like you care when men make decisions for women’s bodies.
Most of the covid vaccine mandates were put in place & enforced by men. Even your president—if indeed, he can be aptly termed either a man or a
president—overreached his authority by attempting to put in place a *wholly unconstitutional* covid vaccine mandate for employees at companies of 100+ people. That was a perfect illustration of an old straight white man doing some real bullshit; you should’ve been all over that!

🧵 It is certainly the greatest & most terrible hubris imaginable to say you know what’s best, for a life you’ve never truly met—to say you know, beyond a shred of doubt, that not getting a chance at life at all is better than the chance of a less-than-ideal one.
What I think is doable and survivable is limited by my own experiences, failures, shortcomings and imagination. It is the height of foolishness to think I know all; to think life (including the life inside me) can’t yet surprise me; to think just because I can’t, no one could.
What I find impossible, another might well prove possible.
There are people far greater and better than I.
But not if we decide for them their lives won’t be worth living.
Not if we end them, before they even have a chance to defend themselves, a chance to to say “yes, I can.”

Mini🧵I’m sorry, but no sane person of integrity takes you seriously as a “pro-choice” person if you spent the past 2 yrs supporting the firing & ostracism of people who declined the covid shot. This was (still is) a mainstream left-wing talking point. Y’all lost all credibility.
You KILLED “my body, my choice” because you were afraid that what I did with my body, might negatively affect or even kill you. There wasn’t (still isn’t) ANY scientific evidence this was the case, that the shot successfully stopped transmission; but still, you demanded.
There IS scientific evidence that life begins at fertilization, when a whole, genetically-distinct, individuated living human organism is formed. There IS scientific evidence that human fetuses feel pain around 20 wks. There IS evidence fetuses are viable around 22-24 wks.

Dear men, a 🧵
An entire generation of women has been raised to believe they don’t need men, & that that’s somehow power.
Let me be clear: Men, we need you. Period.
And we need you in the fight for life. You are fathers & fathers-to-be. We can’t create life without you,
we can’t create the future without you, & we can’t raise children right without you. You are not merely sperm or a functional member, & you are certainly not a bank account to be withdrawn from or a paycheck to be cashed if/when the woman you impregnate decides to carry to term.
You deserve a say.
For decades you’ve been told you don’t, yet you’re expected to cash in & be a good dad when the woman, when the courts decide you suddenly “get” to be involved.
I’m so sorry for that.
The biggest crisis we have, the gravest threat to our nation—fatherlessness.

If a majority of Americans did not want Roe overturned, then y’all have nothing to worry about. I don’t mean that facetiously. Overturning Roe kicked the power back to YOU to vote, lobby, & campaign for this issue. Roe robbed us of that for 49 years.
The right to abortion is not a constitutional right. Even pro-choice legal scholars have recognized this. But it can be a state right. In many states, it always has been & likely always will be. The governor here is already promising to get it enshrined in the state constitution.
Overturning Roe allows for a more representative government within the states, & if most Americans want abortion, then they will vote that way, & there’s really nothing to be outraged over.
7 unelected justices in 1973 didn’t adequately represent the nation then, & they

🧵 I think the left’s big fear is that—with the overturning of Roe—many more women & families are going to realize they can succeed without abortion.

My mother’s generation was taught they NEEDED that option to succeed. My daughter’s generation is going to prove them wrong.
It’s a bit like the existence of FL these past 2.5 years. It showed us what could be done, & that indeed, we wouldn’t die if we didn’t remain
locked down, masked up, & forcibly vaccinated. It was a beacon for people to look towards, to see what was possible, & eventually, other
states followed suit; & many individuals in states that refused to follow suit, rebelled & did their own thing, because they saw it could be done.
The left hated this. They wanted complete control, federally, & they wanted to stamp out any resistance. They didn’t want FL or
