After years of chipping away, the Supreme Court has relegated women to second-class citizenship. In just the last two days, this country has been set on a course that threatens our very understanding of freedom as we prioritize guns over women's health. I am angry.
This fall, we must elect more senators and representatives who will codify a woman’s right to choose into federal law. We need to elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local level. We need to restore the protections of Roe as law of the land.
Looking for a way to channel your anger right now? Here are two suggestions for how to take this fight to the state level, now that the Supreme Court has erased federal protections:
Today is a very solemn moment for the United States.
The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.
My heart, mind and body physically ache with despair. Such a sad, sad day for women 💔
Ps. Thank you @MassGovernor@CharlieBakerMA for swiftly signing an executive order to protect reproductive healthcare in Massachusetts ✊🏻🙌🏻
Why are we so bound to an “originalist” reading of the Constitution when women and minorities had no part in writing it? If they had been there at the table with an equal voice, don’t you think it would have been “originally” very different?
I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it'll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.
Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!
This time honored tradition dating back to our UK roots has somehow lost a little steam over the years. Let’s see a show of hands...who still waves to fellow MINI brethren?
@DisneyParks@WaltDisneyWorld just had the best experience with Peter (Bakersfield, CA) at Guest Relations in Hollywood Studios! Definitely making our day more magical. Thank you so much! #castcompliment#magic
