State constitutions on abortion

i'm proud we get to publish this article, by @yeargain: it's on what all 50 state constitutions, and the territorial constitutions, say about abortion.

These texts, and the judges interpreting them, are so critical. Here's your state-by-state guide:https://t.co/Kkf5R0jFyj

They are mocking this picture:

statistically speaking they will not, for all the talk of adoption among pro-life groups the rates are not high. https://t.co/ybdvEeVkpn https://t.co/iAdJQdcUDT

World leaders oppose US abortion ruling

I expect this to reduce interest in immigration to the US, too. That’s bad for the country but fine with Republicans.

More on violence against pro-abortion rights protestors

Fox News kept predicting violence last night — and eventually there was…by right-wing extremists, hit-and-run drivers, and especially by police with batons and tear gas

Looks like Gov Ducey is trying to gin up a false equivalency to 1-6. But these are peaceful protestors, fired on with no warning. Not an angry mob trying to interfere with the transfer of power in our country following an election. Don't let them confuse you. https://t.co/XaL2jQHMfG

I am not optimistic that abortion rights will be restored

1) no guarantee Dems would get rid of filibuster
2) unlikely to get enough senators to get 60 votes for abortion rights
3) this may never happen – depends who appoints justices
Note: this assumes Dems keep the House which is unlikely in 2022

Attacks on pro-abortion protestors and journalists

I criticized the Washington Post for going both sides on violence and I was attacked by right-wingers who thought hitting people with cars was fine. Read the replies to my comment.
