Excellent article, Sabrina. One only needs an amateur historian's perspective to come to the realization that the six conservative justices are running afoul of the 14th amendment's Equal Protection Clause to advance their radical Heritage Foundation elitest agenda. But then they have been groomed to work around the Clause. The Court has found similar work arounds with Voting Rights and soon, marriage equality. This is a major difference between the GOP & Dems. Dems believe in equal protection, the GOP believes in entitlement and exclusivity for people that have the means to bribe politicians. Equal Protection and inclusion need to be a major campaign issues.

Great voice in this Take, Sabrina - and excellent content with context as usual.

I'm really excited with Harris taking the helm. She is precisely the person who can help the younger generations become more engaged, which in the absence of, this nation and its ideals will die. VP Harris is an empowering individual - and we're only beginning to see how powerful that action can be.

I am also optimistic that she will attract more of the younger vote.

As already seen in many "red" states, when people are allowed to vote on the right to have an abortion, the referendums win by large numbers. Even many Republican and Conservative women believe that these decisions should be left to the woman, the doctor, and father/husband, and not be a decision made by the State.

My cousin is a Nun, and while she believes that abortion is a sin, she does not feel that this is a matter she has any say in. A decision to have an abortion is a uniquely personal one, and one that may be necessary for medical reasons. As such she believes this is a matter between the woman and God. She has a special disdain to the many false prophets here on Earth that claim to be speaking on behalf of God.

My hope is that Kamala Harris is able to spread the word about abortion rights and the Republican threats to them, and energize people to vote this November. If the Democrats are able to defy the odds and pull off a trifecta in November (winning the Presidency and majority control in the House and Senate), I'm all for impeaching these overtly corrupt Supreme Court justices.

Don't forget the money that tech billionaires are hoping from helping the "Menstruation Police". Follow the money: "Project 2025 Payday: JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Palantir & Trump’s Tech Billionaire Donors"

Once again, a salient, well-considered, well-written article on the threat to women's autonomy. Equal protection? I think not! I recall Kamala cross-examining Brett (the Liar) Kavanaugh who was completely flummoxed when asked whether he knew of any laws that controlled/limited men's use of their bodies. He did not.
