WE TOLD YOU THIS WAS COMING
I wrote about the latest turn in anti-abortion and Christian right groups’ plan to revive the Comstock Act as a national abortion ban: one of the plan’s architects, who is also one of Trump’s lawyers, told the NYT he hopes Trump—his client—says nothing about Comstock before the election. What?
Members of the former president's inner circle are worried that he'll blab about their plan to gut what remains of our reproductive freedoms.
Ugh, I am so tired of yelling this
If one of the plan's architects is a Trump lawyer, here's hoping the plan goes up in flames like Trumps legal cases.
Bloody hell, neither democrats nor Republicans seem to be able to keep escalating their stuff
And birth control is right after this. None of this is a surprise.
On its face I hate this, but part of me also loves that they're pursuing such a demonstrably unpopular opinion that is almost certainly going to blow up in their faces. Only like 35% of Americans think a national abortion ban is a good idea. Such silent majority.
The worst things will come when he's president. I didn't say 'if'...
I've been screaming about Comstock for years and so many liberal friends were just "oh they would NEVER!" well well well here we are. FFS. 🤬
I’ve been screaming about elections and how they affect SCOTUS for forty years. And everyone looked at me like I had two heads when I said contraception would be on the chopping block after abortion was banned. And here we are. Vote pro-choice.
Yeah, it was v clear. Start w ppl the majority doesn't care about or actively hates. Work you way up the chain to ppl the majority cares more and more about. Weimar Germany: start w Jews Modern America: start w trans ppl ('Course the Nazis hated trans ppl, and MAGA is deeply antisemitic, so.)
