I could go on, but I don’t think it’s necessary. This is a healthcare issue.Ī heartfelt ‘fuck you’ to everyone who said I was over reacting in November 2016.

Also, impeach those idiots that were put in by a criminal president. The first thing that must be done in 2023, after the Democrats control the house and the senate (because, this time you listened to me) … is to expand the court. Just two more Democratic senators is all that is needed to kill the filibuster and codify Roe into federal law. This does not have to stand! You have all the power and can redeem yourselves! You HAVE to vote Democratic up and down the ballot in the midterms this fall, and in every election going forward. Don’t believe me? Barack Obama.īy not voting for Hillary Clinton, whatever your reasoning, you (each of you) put lives of these women in danger. As racist as this country is, it’s much more misogynistic. This decision is not about life, it’s about controlling women. This draconian decision overturning Roe endangers every woman of child baring age, and it’s just the beginning. ‘I just don’t like her.’ ‘I heard she has a lot of emails.’ ‘But I really love Bernie! If I can’t have Bernie, I’m not voting for HER… I’m going to vote my conscience!’Įlections matter. Atwood is also a current Vice-President of PEN International.
