(#4841) More than abortion rights at risk

      It is bad enough that the republican party wants to end the right of women to define their own lives. There is more here at stake. Roe v. Wade was established by a conclusion from the court that gave us a privacy right and a claim of liberty. A woman's right to choose an abortion was established under the Fourteenth Amendment to our constitution. Which was informed from an accumulation of rights together from the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments. If this current court strikes down abortion rights for women it also unsettles the established method by which Roe v. Wade was adjudicated.
     For all the bellicose yammering from the republican party about attacks of our rights and liberty, the republican party is reversing direction and planning to blow up our rights and liberties by nullify the formula for establishing them. I cannot for life of me understand any logic from republicans that makes sense about making life better under our democracy. The idiocy of what they are trying to do is nothing short of cutting off your own face to spite your nose. I have been saying this for decades and even more so in the last 10 years, the republican party needs to be annihilated in every election going forward!
     It won't end with abortion rights disappearing for women it will also tee up the end of interracial marriage, same sex marriage, birth control. That is still just the beginning. Once the right to privacy and claim of liberty are deconstructed no protection we currently have will be safe unless it is specifically written into our constitution. There is so much more here at stake that the simpleton republican majority on the court, and republican leaders, is letting on. They are going to take our democracy and turn it into some form of autocracy/theocracy. The next election will have to be the election of our lives if we are going to save our democracy and the only way that election saves our democracy is for every republican who can be voted out is actually voted out.
