I didn't have the brains to do it on Sunday, so it's three things for Wednesday this week, LOL.
1. California is truly a beautiful state.
2. It doesn't matter if she is pre-menarche, post-menopausal, had her tubes tied, whatever. ALL women are impacted by this decision. The risk might not be the same for all, but the fact that women's bodies will be controlled by the state affects all of us. Every. Single. One. It's not "oh, it's just for abortion", it's that women are no longer have all the right afforded to men. This is a fucking problem. And yeah, I know people say "oh, slippery slope arguments aren't legit", it is not a slippery slope argument because a woman not having full personhood can, and no doubt will, lead to other consequences: already women are prosecuted for pregnancies gone awry.
3. I just finished reading Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Padden Keefe and it's chilling. I knew the Sacklers were evil, I did not quite realize just how fucking evil. I mean, sociopath level of evil. Highly recommend the book.
