Roe vs. Wade is Dead, and Our Lawmakers Have Failed Us Once Again.
Yeah, I’m angry with Democrats, too.
Well, it’s happening.
As America’s celebrities gathered in all their wealth and glamour at a Gilded Age themed Met Gala in New York, news broke that according to a first draft majority opinion that was leaked to Politico, the conservative Supreme Court has decided to strike down the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision that guarantees a woman’s right to abortion.
I struggled to fall asleep last night.
All night long I tossed and turned as the news sunk in, unable to shake off everything that I was thinking and feeling. We all knew it was coming, didn’t we? But, that does little to prepare us for when it actually happens, does it?
I’ve been writing about politics nearly every single day for over three years now. I am more than accustomed to essentially being told by smug liberals and conservatives alike that I’m just too angry. Too divisive. I expect too much. I live in a fantasyland. I’m silly. Naive? Oh, I’ve heard that more times than I can count. I’ve heard it all. Well when it comes to this issue, I don’t have the patience for any of it.
Yes, I am angry. Absolutely livid.
