Those who talk about their religion in just about every context have a laser focus on abortion. I suppose they are all dancing in the street today. But now that over half of this country just lost our constitutional rights, we'll see how this affects 2020 and 2024. I'd not like to be one of those Stench Benchers right now or one of those old white sickos in Congress (men and women) who are celebrating. They might consider packing up their offices. Once out, they'll never get back their tax payer funded cushy jobs or their social events funded by dark money. Maybe they can all rent a room at Mar a Lago?

My hope is that this will also shake some sense into lazy disappointed progressive voters, male or female, who would "protest vote" by not voting at all, and instead turn them out in huge numbers this November. What we need is an overwhelming blue wave. Perhaps this, and the upcoming decision to hamstring the EPA, will do it.

First time voters, Black, Hispanic and others, may be shy. some aren't very informed and need help with information, encouragement and access to the polls as well as absentee ballots.
