Thousands strong in front of the Ohio Statehouse to say loud and clear “we won’t go back.” We will fight for abortion care, for contraception, for marriage equality, for trans rights, and so much more. #BansOffOurBodies pic.twitter.com/a6m0pFE5bL

To be fair: you have to acknowledge that the abortion issue is the first “current thing” to actually affect the lives of the people involved. Women need abortions because all women are sickening whores. This is in great contrast to George Floyd, the vaccine, or the Ukraine war, where the issues that these people were protesting in support of had literally zero effect on their lives in a real and tangible way.
I also need to give credit where credit is due: they seem to have recognized that “my body, my choice” is no longer a valid slogan, given that these same exact people told everyone they have to take an experimental gene therapy vaccine.
Thousands of abortion rights supporters rallied across the United States on Saturday, angered by the prospect that the Supreme Court may soon overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide a half century ago.
The protests kicked off what organizers predict will be a “summer of rage” ignited by the May 2 disclosure of a draft opinion showing the court’s conservative majority ready to reverse the 1973 ruling that established a woman’s constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.
The court’s final ruling, which could return the power to ban abortion to state legislatures, is expected in June. About half of the 50 states are poised to ban or severely restrict abortion almost immediately should Roe be struck down. read more
“If you can’t choose whether you want to have a baby, if that’s not a fundamental right, then I don’t know what is,” said Brita Van Rossum, 62, a landscape designer who traveled from suburban Philadelphia to join the abortion-rights rally in the nation’s capital, her first ever.
Protesters marching under the slogan “Bans Off Our Bodies” took to the streets from New York and Atlanta to Chicago and Los Angeles in a show of outrage that Democrats hope will help galvanize support for their party and blunt projected Republican gains in the November elections.
The day’s largest demonstration unfolded in Washington, where a crowd that organizers estimated at 20,000 people massed at the Washington Monument and braved a light drizzle to march along the National Mall past the U.S. Capitol to the Supreme Court itself.
The rally erupted in shouts of “Shame” and “Bans off our bodies” as the marchers neared the marbled columns of the courthouse.
Surrounded by police was a group of a few dozen counter-demonstrators holding signs that read: “End abortion violence” and “Women’s rights begin in the womb.”
It’s just amazing that women would go out into the streets demanding the right to murder their own children.
It’s also amazing that the solution to this is to attack the Supreme Court, and that politicians are going along with this. The reason that the Supreme Court is ruling this way is that it’s not in the Constitution that you have a “right” to kill your children. All the Supreme Court does is interpret the law, and claiming that “a right to privacy” means “you can kill your infants” is nonsensical. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself said this.
Okay, they want abortion to be legal in every state – so they should be protesting for a Constitutional amendment that provides abortion rights at the federal level. The Supreme Court could not overturn a Constitutional amendment.
So all of this is just delusional and bizarre. You’re not allowed to protest a court.
Also, in relation to Twitter algorithms – this is the top tweet when you type “abortion”:
A month-old example of “shit that totally and for sure really happened in real life.”
Also: video game companies need to come out and support killing children – despite the fact that white men are 95% of (non-cellphone) gamers in this country, and also the number one group that does not endorse abortion.
some game developers are striking this week to protest the potential overturn of roe v. wade, even as few gaming companies speak out on abortion rights. we spoke to workers at bungie, activision blizzard, and various indie studios about their plans, thread https://t.co/ngxxwdyzla
