Yesterday

Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that abortions are no longer a Constitutional right. They removed them from the same Constitution that they tend to claim should never be changed, because it was made, apparently, by a group of perfect men from the past, who knew what the needs of Americans would be even hundreds of years into the future.

The separation of church and state is another of the amendments that the Supreme Court are disregarding lately through their blatant moves to make America function according to the fairly new beliefs of Christians.

Whatever your beliefs, the numbers don’t make much sense. The majority of Americans are in favour of legalised abortions. The majority of Americans are in favour of stricter gun laws. The laws around abortions were exactly how the majority of Americans would have preferred to keep them. The laws around gun control were not exactly how the majority of Americans preferred to keep them. And yet, the Supreme Court worked to overrule the wishes of most Americans, while not working to enable the wishes of most Americans. Why?

It’s no longer possible to imagine that the Supreme Court is working to fulfill the wishes of Americans. It is only possible that they are, instead, working to fulfill the wishes of a minority with money or power, or that they’re working to fulfill their own niche vision of what America should be.

From where I stand, this version of America is hostile: a place where women cannot remove a collection of cells from their body legally, even if not doing so…
