And women's rights to control their own bodies, in certain states, have been thrown under the bus. What an absolute shit storm.

American women had such a shit deal if they wanted kids up to now, this really is tragic. Looking at the map of states seeking to ban abortion some women in the south will have to travel huge distances if they need an abortion. Poor women will die.

Absolutely horrific. Also wtf BBC - 'Joyous or heart wrenching day?' This is not a question of debate. Women across America will die.

I grew up with the American Dream propaganda but really it's a 3rd world country.

Elizabeth Warren has just released a video. It's all "pregnant people ". For. Fuck's. Sake. It's WOMEN. Fucking say it. If you are too scared to say it you are too weak to fight. So fuck off with this "we have to stick together " bullshit as a way of shutting women down. Two sides of the same fucking coin.

Its almost trite to point out that this is the start of the Handmaid’s Tale. But so true and so absolutely heart-breaking that it keeps going backwards.

And the commentary from one of the judges that they should look at other Supreme Court rulings including access to contraception and same-sex marriage.

That's terribly Gareth-ish 😑

'Poor women will die.'

Absolutely right. This is about women not being considered as full, legitimate, autonomous human beings. Just horrifying

Lottapianos · 24/06/2022 17:03

'Elizabeth Warren has just released a video. It's all "pregnant people "'

Well she can absolutely fuck all the way off. The Democrats are absolutely no friend to women these days

Its just such horrific news isn't it.

If people don't agree with abortion then they just don't have to have one. The fact multiple states decided to remove the option for all women all of the time is , well , there just aren't the words to say how awful it is. I really feel for American women amd girls.

This will have a devastating affect on the ability for girls to receive an education. We all know about the rape culture in american colleges. Anyone whos watched The Hunting grounds or Roll Red Roll will be familiar with the disgusting way the boys especially the ones on the sports teams are protected and the girls disbelieved and ignored.

I dont supoose this cones hand in hand with enhanced benefit amd child support systems either. For people claiming to care so much about babies they will.legislate against abortion, there seems to be little in.place to deal with the resulting babies.

Banning abortion won't stop abortion it will only end safe abortion 😔

I've always said it's very backward in many ways but Hollywood's gives it amazing pr...

After seeing keep sweet and pray on Netflix I'm not surprised at all that this has happened.

Brought me nearly to tears listening to the Radio on my way home and came in ranting and raging at DH about it.
So fucking furious.

What’s equally scary is the thought that where America goes others may follow.

This is what I worry about. As the old adage goes, America sneezes and Britain catches the cold.

How bizarre that a country which wishes to protect the rights of the foetus are quite comfortable with maniacs bursting into schools and murdering children with legally held arms
Words fail me
