Hi! I’m doing a little experimenting. I’d like to add articles to this newsletter, but I’m not certain how it works best. So this is my alpha test. Thanks for joining me in it. If you have a comment, just add it at the end, and I’ll get it.
Gloria!
The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) set off an explosion of protests when it decided to overturn Row v. Wade. After 50 years as settled law, the highest court in the land decided to throw out a Constitutional right that women had enjoyed. Justice Clarence Thomas threatened to also do away with contraception and the “morning-after” pill. In his opinion, he wrote that this law could also extend to banning gay marriage across the country and banning gay sex.
Thomas could have included banning inter-racial marriage, but of course, he is Black and his wife is White.
The consequences of what the Supreme Court has dropped on American culture are staggering. The vote was six to three along conservative and liberal lines. That vote threw the abortion decision back to the courts, and many red states had “trigger” laws, according to Reuters.
These trigger laws were already in place and go into effect nearly immediately. Red states have laws that give girls and women exclusions for rape and incest. But most only take into consideration the woman’s life.
Demonstrations popped up outside of the fence surrounding the Supreme Court Building and grew into a significant size. Their signs read “Abort SCOTUS” and “Limit Guns Not Women.” The day prior to the abortion ruling, SCOTUS ruled on “expanding gun rights.”
A pro-life supporter said:
‘The thing that 'my body, my choice' advocates don't get is that the aborted baby never had a choice.’
There are multiple lawsuits against state trigger laws.
