Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Sky Dancing Wednesday Reads: Texass by Minkoff Minx This statement has more meaning today than it did yesterday. Why does the stolen Supreme Court think it can get away with ending Roe in the dead of the night? Because it's almost impossible to find a headline that explains that they just did that. — LOLGOP (@LOLGOP) September 1, 2021 Well legal and safe abortions are out in Texas. Guns without permits are in. Welcome to the Wild, Wild West. — Annie C (@anet2111) September 1, 2021 And for a better overview, this thread: Instead of issuing a ruling blocking Texas' 6-week abortion ban from taking effect, the Court did nothing. But in this case, doing nothing is actually doing EVERYTHING. Because by doing nothing, the justices said Roe is no longer good law. — Jessica Mason Pieklo (@Hegemommy) September 1, 2021 BREAKING: As of right now, Texas #SB8 is in effect and the vast majority of abortions in the state are banned. We are monitoring updates and stand in solidarity with those impacted on the ground in Texas. This is the 1st state to allow a ban to go into effect since #RoeVWade. — Guttmacher Institute (@Guttmacher) September 1, 2021 there are layers of frightening in the Texas law, and the bounty structure it sets up is way up there https://t.co/62U8oqbDgF pic.twitter.com/sUDk8y8B8J — Taniel (@Taniel) September 1, 2021 Political elites in Texas and across the country are so obsessed with dividing our communities and exerting control over everyday people's lives, they literally want people to report on their neighbors for getting an abortion. Big Brother-style. https://t.co/eFwWKcMX5L — Lucas Kunce (@LucasKunceMO) September 1, 2021 Twenty years ago, a Texan president began a war in the name of spreading freedom and defending women in a faraway place, diverting untold money and energy from nation-building at home, and in the very week that lost war ends, his home state births a Taliban-worthy abortion law. — Anand Giridharadas @ The.Ink (@AnandWrites) September 1, 2021 Take away women's rights - check Open carry weapons - check Stop LGBTQ - check Drive around in pick-up trucks - check So really your biggest problem with the Taliban is that they are Muslims? American Taliban indeed. — Mr. Newberger (@jeremynewberger) September 1, 2021 Well legal and safe abortions are out in Texas. Guns without permits are in. Welcome to the Wild, Wild West. — Annie C (@anet2111) September 1, 2021 On this point: Super curious over whether all those warmongers who were suddenly deeply invested in women's rights last week will have anything to say about texas today — Kaitlyn Greenidge (@surlybassey) September 1, 2021 I would also ask all the rest of the media who are supposedly "left" leaning that have blasted Biden over Afghanistan…where the fuck have you been for women here in this country? It seems the only way to get attention on women's issues in the media is if it deals with one woman's emails. Abortion was never illegal as long as you were rich. And it never will be illegal as long as you are rich. — The Volatile Mermaid (@OhNoSheTwitnt) September 1, 2021 I'm not a lawyer but, putting aside any position on Roe or abortion, this method of outsourcing a law to mass lawsuits sounds ludicrous pic.twitter.com/d4tMD5cItt — Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) September 1, 2021 I honestly want someone to explain to me the "you can't violate my freedoms with a mask mandate but I can bounty hunt someone for even trying to help woman access reproductive healthcare" logic… — Kimberly Atkins Stohr (@KimberlyEAtkins) September 1, 2021 "7 million Texas women of reproductive age will lose access to abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, forcing those seeking to end their pregnancy to travel hundreds of miles out of state for their abortion, if they can afford to do so." -- Planned Parenthood CEO @alexismcgill https://t.co/rLaETiWVu7 — Samuel Lau (@SamuelRLau) September 1, 2021 The day your period is due, you're already four weeks pregnant. The day egg meets sperm, that's about two weeks pregnant. A six week cut off actually means two weeks at most from the first possible moment you could know you're pregnant. Two weeks. https://t.co/f7PyMhOY3N — becca (@boodleoops) September 1, 2021 This is barbaric & inhumane. "SB 8, does not allow an exception to the law for rape or incest. And so, if you are somebody who has gotten pregnant as a result of rape, you will not be able to get an abortion after six weeks gestation in Texas."https://t.co/yOaRGvfXCc — Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@QasimRashid) August 31, 2021 What Texas has devised is a bizarre, dystopian vigilante system for hunting women in Texas who seek abortions. A vigilante system to effectively ban abortion and shut down all abortion providers in the state, not to mention terrorizing women who are seeking the procedure. pic.twitter.com/vfhtPy7AKR — Maddow Blog (@MaddowBlog) September 1, 2021 Meanwhile: Mississippi police issued an arrest warrant Tuesday for an Ohio man who they say confronted NBC News' Shaquille Brewster on live television.https://t.co/D0bielgZK5 via @davidkli @NBCNews — Janelle Fiona Griffith (@janellefiona) September 1, 2021 If you missed it… This is beyond unacceptable and disgusting. @shaqbrewster was trying to do his job on a beach in Gulfport, MS. Shaq is ok. This guy who nearly attacked him clearly is not. https://t.co/tMNFVhvTf1 — Craig Melvin (@craigmelvin) August 30, 2021 The Colorado's flow has already declined by nearly 20%, on average, from its flow throughout the 1900s. If the current rate of warming continues, the loss could well be 50% by the end of this century.https://t.co/uKVfxOTTek — ProPublica (@propublica) August 31, 2021 This is judicial activism. https://t.co/tfSiEg2y1w — Loud Ohio Democrat (@LoudOhioDem) August 30, 2021 ICE COLD Fact: pic.twitter.com/hnQah7T2UN — ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) August 31, 2021 This is an open thread.
