So all the enablers can keep crying in my mentions. We’re just different. I want more than Kente cloth kneel sessions and poems for my vote. You guys can keep defending losers who sucker punch you endlessly. But stop pretending like you care about these issues. You don’t.
After the leak showing SCOTUS was going to reverse Roe, Dems raised $12 mill from voters who were duped into thinking they’d protect abortion rights. House leadership endorsed anti-choice Rep. Henry Cuellar over his progressive challenger Jessica Cisneros in a tight race instead.
Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
To all the women in this country that demand personal autonomy and not some Isis-like group of dried up old men dictating at them, I am 💯 with you. However far you take this fight, I am with you.
The far-right court overturned Roe as I hosted Secretary Becerra for an abortion round table at the same St. Louis clinic where I received my abortion at 18. I felt lonely and scared then. I do not feel alone or scared now.
We won’t stop until abortion care is legal everywhere.
@senatormelendez Reminder that killing actual people is wrong & women controlling their bodies & family planning so that they do not pass down dysfunction/generational trauma through circumstance— helps prevent the likelihood of murderers, rapists, abusers, mentally ill.
Democrats must act on abortion. We control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. It’s time for us to lead, and codify Roe.
In the meantime, it’s important to communicate clearly that abortion is still legal.
Neither a law nor a court can truly justify the revocation of a human right; the most fundamental of our freedoms are inabrogable. The repression of such an essential liberty may be effective, for a time, but it cannot be legitimate.
I can’t believe we are here. Book burning, bans on classroom discussions about race and sexuality, the erosion of voter’s rights aimed at the poor and people of color. It’s literally a right wing crack down on democratic norms. The worst are full of passionate intensity.
@senatormelendez The solution would be for you and every other republican to stand behind Roe V Wade. I donate to Planned Parenthood monthly and will gladly pay for as many out of state abortions as necessary to prevent unwanted children from growing up so coldly neglected they become like you.
