Roe V. Wade put the freedom of choice faction to sleep. The antiabortionists very wisely moved a little piece at a time to restrict abortion to greater and greater degrees, and like the fabled frog in the pot of water being heated to boiling, we did not react much. Just some sqawks and complaints, and an occasional letter to the editor.
South Dakota has now put it on the table. We do something, or the fascists take control of the bedrooms. We frogs have suddenly been thrown into the boiling water. American women will be again relegated to second-class status, just as the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Saudi Arabians have long done to their women. We either jump out of the pot or get boiled quickly.
As a first step we need to become aware of the danger and our sloth, and then we must act.
Meteor Blades over at "The Next Hurrah" offers a great article on the current situation. Go read! It will be a step towards step one.
