In America you can't donate organs from someone who died w/o their consent—but the new SCOTUS ban on abortion would force an 11-year-old rape victim to have her rapists child w/o her consent.
In short—even a corpse in America has more rights over its body than do women & girls.
I will explain this to you slowly: exercising our right to protest is not obstruction of Congress nor an attempt to overturn democracy.
If one were a heinous enough person to do that, they’d likely seek a pardon for it too.
But only one of us here has done that. And it ain’t me
Today the Supreme Court rolled back the rights of millions of Americans, disregarding their interests and — more importantly — their lives.
Access to abortion is a fundamental human right, and it remains safe, accessible, and legal in New York.

Unfortunately, for too many the answer is “a lot more”. They only offer “thoughts and prayers”. Constant thoughts and prayers
JJ Redick swished this one so good the net didn’t even move.
Somebody should also tell Chris Russo that the average age of a NBA fan is 42, so most folks watching the NBA have never seen Cousy, Wilt, or Bill Russell play.
Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.
