In some ways, this looming Supreme Court decision is as clear a case of stochastic murder as one might imagine: statistically condemning hundreds of innocent pregnant women to death.
In terms of timing though, it seems to make no more sense than Russia invading Ukraine during the infamous muddy season, and gives us a opportunity to make them regret it!
The 2022 midterms, upcoming soon, could drastically alter the balance of power held by Democrats and Republicans, in both the Senate and House … with potentially devastating consequences, including government shutdowns and a likely attempt to ban abortion nationwide altogether.
Up to now, the ‘Republikan’ Party was looking likely to score some major victories in 2022 ... through voter suppression, public-servant intimidation, blatant lies and fear mongering, and some hard core Gerrymandering, along with the traditionally lower voter enthusiasm in midterm elections which often hurts Democratic candidates since they do not terrorize their voters with Fox ‘Noise’.
Dangling the prospect of someday eliminating legal abortions for their extremist base, while putting public focus on blaming Biden and gaming the election process would have been clever, but the GOP has unleashed a process of spiraling radicalization, competing to be more extreme in positions and behavior and their primaries have given disproportionate power to the more radical among them.
This gives us, Democrats and Independents and every ally to women, our chance to foil their schemes, protect our dreams, and make them pay for their lack of respect for our bodies and our lives.
We need to express our outrage by organizing and winning, this November 2022 and going forward.
We need to fight for our lives, our honor as a modern nation, and our future.
We need to mobilize to win today, then start tackling longer issues of how to keep this fragile ecosystem from destruction by our economic activity and still give our children decent lives.
