      He SHOULD be fucking embarrassed. But, he and the 4 other justices, vial the Federalists society and other conservative fascist societies, have had Roe in their cross hairs for decades.
      They NEED Babies. They NEED supply of CHEAP LABOR.
      Hence, abortion will be absolutely banned in the states with the LEAST AMOUNT OF EDUCATION.

      Overturning Roe v. Wade is just the start, and Republicans will also want to go after our other rights to privacy, such as the right to practice birth control.
      In fact, it may eventually get so bad that the only form of birth control available will be that men have to look at pictures of justice Thomas's wife, at which point they will lose all desire to have sex.

      Undo the 'progress' that has killed 63 million people since 1973, with black babies being the most represented? Genocide is not 'progress.'
      The world mourned when 3,000 people died in 2001 at the WTC. We decry the number of deaths in wars. We scream about how Covid was killing people en masse....but we ignore the killings that eclipse all of those combined.
      It's easy, though, because those being killed don't have a voice. They're easy to ignore. We have a history of treating those with no voice as expendable - rightfully we ended slavery....but we switched to killing them in the womb instead.
