I needed to read this today. I am so fucking tired right now. I was in high school when Ro was passed; it never once occurred to me that one day it might go away - and that my daughters would have fewer rights than I did. When that orange shitgibbon was first allowed to infest the People's House, I joined the Women's March in my city. And I joined them every year during his shitstorm of an "administration." I voted for Biden, even though I'm tired of old white guys. And I was delighted at the outpouring of enthusiasm for Kamala. I didn't think he's ever get near DC again.
And now - I'm tired. I'm too tired to march any more; I'm too tired to fight any more. I will leave that to you younger people, and I'll give what I can spare to groups I believe in. And I'll wear all my snide social/political t shirts everywhere.
But this gave me joy. I love the way you write; I love your command of snark and insults. I've never been to Jersey, but I hear they're all a lot like you. And we need more of you.
Stay safe, keep your kids safe. And dare them to come at you. It won't end well for them.
Good for you. While strolling what passes for a boardwalk around here I saw a woman wearing a pussy hat. A great friend of ours made one for each of us after she got home from the 2017 DC march. It doesn't actually get cold around here, BUT, my wife and I will re-commence wearing ours, at least during what we laughingly call winter here.
I was in my first year of law school when Roe was decided. Goldwater Goon and chief justice Rehnquist dissented as did Bryon White who played football with a leather helmet. Blackmun, one of Nixon's Minnesota Twins wrote the majority opinion joined by even Lewis Powell, formulator of the fallacious reasoning that led to Citizens United. I wrote a paper advocating the legalization of abortion in my junior year in high school (1962-63) but the teacher, doubtless fearing for her job, asked me to write on another topic. I therefore submitted a paper on the benefits of the use of nitromethane as a fuel in drag racing - I'm sure she understood not a single word. I know it's bad, but, I LOVE the smell of that stuff to this day. Make that VERY bad. Guess I wandered. Time to put on the pussy hats.
Might I add that there is a brewery in Kappaa town on the island of Kauai that serves "Pussy Grabs Back Ale." I don't drink but if they had it in bottles I'd ship it home to pass out as Christmas presents.
