Fortunately, she failed there.

Let's make sure she fails AGAIN, this next time.

1. A certain segment of America

is bound and determined to control women and kill the ones who refuse control.

8. One of MANY things we're fighting.

Frustrating, isn't it?

I'm always amused whenever Supreme Court discussions come up - where someone argues that such-and-such is "settled law," the implication being that "no, no need to go back and revisit it or change it or anything..." This has certainly been said about marriage equality and many other issues in which litigation has come up. So, following that logic, isn't it true that Roe v Wade is also "settled law"? "Settled law" is, after all, "SETTLED law," is it not? And yet we have about 40 years of extremists constantly trying to fuck with it.

10. in the old days (yes, I am that old) we were told we would not need the ERA because

the courts would protect us. some people actually believed that bs.

[calimary]

11. Yeah, I remember that, too.

9. Thank you, calimary!
