Whatever the leaker’s motive, the result is very bad.”) And Democrats buzzing about the matter mentioned two other potential candidates: Caucus Chairwoman Del. Charniele L. Herring (Alexandria), who survived a removal vote of her own on Wednesday, and Filler-Corn, who could seek a comeback after losing the position in a narrow, 25 to 22 vote. Vote Democratic, up and down the ballot, in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION!) It hardly matters whether it was leaked by liberals trying to shock the nation’s conscience, by conservatives trying to bolster the confidence of potentially wavering justices, or by some disgruntled employee looking for a thrill or money or something else. - Governors swiftly react to reports of leaked draft opinion of Roe v. - Republicans condemn leak of Supreme Court draft abortion ruling(Republicans are a-ok with the ruling, just not with the LEAK of the ruling. - The End of Roe(“What the future of abortion in America could look like”)

Raskin said it appears the opinion, which he noted looks authentic, would eliminate all rights to any abortion.

Wade was based on an earlier 1965 ruling striking down a law banning birth control, stating that the Constitution’s “due process liberty clause includes a right to privacy over intimate decision-making,” Raskin said. But to carve out and destroy the freedoms and the rights of the people,” said Raskin. “It situates the trajectory of the American right where Fox News and Tucker Carlson want to go, which is to make us in the image of Hungarian ‘illiberal’ democracy now.

Do I get a handmaid too?" "Well, I guess it has come to this—I'm a Handmaid now," said former pro-choice activist Pixie Stankbugg, draped head to toe in a red robe and wearing a white bonnet. "We tried to stop it, but we're officially in the Handmaid's Tale now.

Over on Twitter, the thought-provoking narrative is receiving an abundance of comparisons between the fictional aspect of the show with the mind-boggling events happening in the U.S. in real-time. Wade was a landmark decision passed back in 1973, which effectively granted women the right to choose to have an abortion without the pitfalls of government restriction. Wade decision, The Handmaid’s Tale is once again trending on Twitter. The popular Hulu series — based on the novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood — centers around dystopia America, where its totalitarian government forces fertile women to adhere to a child-bearing slavery system following a civil war.

Why reorganize society into an explicit theocracy if you can pass a law that not only makes most forms of abortion illegal and also creates a bounty system to threaten the doctors who perform them? Opposition to this ruling, despite whatever justification one may say they have, is only ever about controlling the bodies of people who can get pregnant, and enforcing a hierarchy that keeps a small percentage of wealthy white men on top. It’s the story of a dystopia in which America has become a cultish theocracy and women are considered property; everything is recognizable, but starkly and fundamentally different than it is in our world. The issue with stories like these is that they imagine, whether at the individual or the social level, easily understood before-and-after moments, turning points at which it becomes clear that nothing will ever be the same. In Game of Thrones, the rape and abuse of women was always at the forefront, with the implication that in general, women in that world are always under threat of being trapped in an abusive marriage by a powerful man and forced to bear him heirs. The Republican Party didn’t need force to take away the right to abortion access, or to use technology to alter the body into hardware—they just needed to selectively interpret aspects of the Constitution and be patient enough to pack the Supreme Court with conservative judges.

He did not have information on how many cast and crew members were part of the production. “When you bring in a cast and crew for this type of filming, there are the positive residual effects on retail, restaurants, hotels and more,” he said.
