despite all this hoo-hah about State’s Rights and the lack of need for federal protections for health care options for women, the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade comes as close to a straw-and-camel’s-back moment as we’re likely to have.
As tough as it is to stomach the execrable statistics when it comes to RAPE that shows that, at least in America, a woman is raped every ONE TO TWO MINUTES (which lets you do the math: how many women have been raped while you’ve been reading this?), the conviction rates for arrested rapists? Woefully inadequate. And tough to stomach. But the fact that now if you’re a woman AND you’ve been raped in, say, the last one to two minutes, you must carry that pregnancy to full term.
No ifs. No ands. No buts.
So, if you’re a woman while you might have suspected that men don’t give a fuck about you, along with swaths of other women who have found common cause with them usually via organized religion, you now know: they don’t.
How much so? So much so that the Supreme Court justices who made this possible, during their confirmation hearings LIED about their willingness to make it possible. Without fear of sanction, these lifetime appointees promised that they would not come inside you and then, very clearly, came inside you. And today, to quote the benighted President Ulysses S. Grant who once was quoted as saying, “I’ve been fucked. And I can feel it,” you/we can now? Feel it.
