hey just so everyone knows, It Was A Draft
the supreme court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is not official yet. someone leaked a draft of the opinion that the members of the court have been circulating and revising (the draft was created by justice samuel alito).
which is insane by the way. it’s the first time that a draft of a supreme court decision has ever been leaked in the entire history of this country.
it makes perfect sense to feel grief or panic or dread or sadness or anger or whatever you’re feeling right now. this is fucking terrible and scary. just for the sake of avoiding misinformation, i wanted to clarify this because i think a lot of the headlines have been misleading, and the info gets even more misconstrued when it’s rephrased on social media and stuff
the strategic political moves happening right now are intentional and important. we WANT backlash. we NEED backlash. the anger of the people changes the direction of the country -- our fury, our organization, and our blood in the streets are the ONLY things that have ever won us anything. so please freak out. call your reps. stand in front of your reps houses and yell at them so they can’t sleep tonight. help abortion activists in any way they ask. we have a short window to be fucking terrifying enough to scare these motherfuckers to change. don’t waste it.
We have two months, maybe a little more before the ruling. It’s time to show SCOTUS that we the people will not fucking stand for this. Whoever leaked it has more courage than anyone else in that building and likely did this so that we WOULD freak out and get mad and do whatever we can to stop this from happening.
