Adding a bit of levity, I’d call for a strike by women against having sex, so as not to get pregnant, but it would have limited effect in my age group. Still maybe it is time to use what weapons we women have.

You must have been overwhelmed with candidates for your Dingbats-of-the-Week offering today, Steve; you chose some good ones. It's frightening to think that they're talking like this because that's what will get them re-elected..

I can't bear it. I can't bear any of these blurbs. Bounty hunters and women traveling out of state, etc. This will NOT end well. Not at all. We are half the nation's population.

Start locally and build a movement. #CitizensRising

The holy grail of decentralized democracy in the United States is the reformation of the US House of Representatives into many, small, legislate-from-home, congressional districts.

Along the way, many state and local political districts with extreme representative-to-citizens ratios can and should be reduced to vastly improve democratic representation.

In so doing, we will help nurture and develop a new transformative Information Age political culture that will empower people over politicians and special interests. #CitizensRising

In Overturning Roe, Radical Supreme Court Declares War On The 14th Amendment.

Alito’s opinion completely elides the significance of the 14th Amendment, which was explicitly designed to address the particular horrors of slavery, including the right of individuals to determine whether, with whom, and when to form a family.

A campaign to increase the number of Representatives in the House from its current 435 to make Congress more representative and accountable. #UncapTheHouse

While the Declaration of Independence recognizes the unalienable rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” the Constitution explicitly protects life and liberty in the highest law of the land.
