A perusal of Twitter shows that many conservatives are more concerned with the leak of Justice Alito's draft of the decision to reverse Roe v. Wade than the decision itself, which takes aim not just at the right to choose to terminate a pregnancy, but at the right to contraception and the right to marry the adult partner of one's choice. It's as if the privacy of the Supreme Court to make these personal decisions for millions of Americans matters more than the privacy of those decisions for the individual.The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. https://t.co/nl3JFLx9xg
They know full well that many people today have no intention of "lying back and taking it". The leak concerns them because it gives people an insight into the game plan (as if the game had not already been quite clear). We should have always known our rights hung by this thread, but if anyone had not--there it is: the right of the state and the people who run it over your right to run your own life.
The folks who go around saying they like small government and freedom are dirty liars. They just despise oversight and responsibility. But when they let you know they despise your personal pursuit of happiness, the right to medical care (such as the termination of an ectopic pregnancy, etc.) that can preserve your life, and gives you choices--liberty! They stand against you.
Forced labor (how else to describe a state-mandated pregnancy?) is violence. It cannot stand.

Everything is performance and nearly everything -- even this -- is improv. Someone's bluff has been called; whose?
The thing that you are wrong about is "violence". It can stand. Nothing else can stand. They are locked in the birth trauma; the child's first cry is universal destruction. I have written elsewhere that humans are born insane, and the purpose of education is to heal them. This is what you get when you abolish education, in the broadest sense, including anything, at any level, about how to human, and then run the tape forward one lifespan: devolution to zero.
