Keep telling it like it is, Emily. The truth will eventually set us free, or "the republic" will lapse into fascism, like these old white men seem to want.
God bless these articulate and powerful women. They have articulated for me what I object to the most about these bills. The insistent need of men to control of women. Their desire to give power to men over women - even men who are guilty of rape - enabling a criminal assailant to force women to bear his child, elevating his rights and reducing a woman to a mere vessel. It's enraging, and it's disgusting. It is, in fact, rape. Thank you for writing this. BTW, how many of these women were democrat, and how many republican?
Only one Democrat (Senator Bright Matthews), one independent (McLeod), and three Republicans (Shealey, Senn, Gustafson). McLeod recently left the state Democratic party. I'm really glad their words are getting so much press!
This issue has me in a near-constant state of rage. And the younger generation is bigger than old-fart baby Boomers (like me) and they will have their revenge. It can't come soon enough.
Nice snark, Em. I’m starting to see more folks on social media speaking out. I think the ban is waking people up. They really don’t care if we die. They’re completely resistant to facts. They won’t stop till we stop them.

I know, I'm so hopeful for the next election cycle. I hope this drives people to the polls in droves large enough to overcome the gerrymandering!

I just really hope we see a good voting turnout in 2024... come on, young people!
Great post, Em! Thank you for educating us about these five heroes!
