How many unwanted pregnancies has your father had?

On a side note: this isn't a battle of the genders. It's not about 'white old men' telling women what to do. It's about conservative men and women telling others what to do.

It's about conservative men and women telling women what to do when it comes to women's body

fixed for you

"Others". What is the gender of these "others" you speak of? Women?

I do feel like a twit for posting the message earlier today but at the time, my feelings were very raw and I could not contain myself. Coming from a background like myself, my father worked over 20 years to try to bring change to the Roe v Wade ruling and had paid politicians handsomely to bring a change about. That's why this felt like a special day to me.

For me, repealing Roe v Wade isn't about banning abortion but it's about giving the power to the states to self-govern themselves and align their policies to match the will of the people. That's the biggest thing about today.

No, it’s about men being able to control women’s bodies. It’s disgusting, and your father’s a… word I can’t use on here.

You know what would “align to the will of the people”?

Allow people who want to have an abortion to have an abortion.

No one was forcing anyone to have one at gunpoint. Although to be fair, doing it at gunpoint would probably have made it more popular with lunatics like your father.

What have women's reproductive choices got to do with your father? You seem to hate the idea of the government interfering in any area of your life, but your fine when it comes to women having control over their own bodies.

You do realize that more female SCOTUS justices voted to overturn Roe v Wade than voting in favor?

Clarence Thomas: Supreme Court Could Now Restrict Marriage Equality, Contraception

The justice called out three cases protecting contraception access and same-sex marriage.

So contraception, gay marriage & same sex relationships next eh?

Justice Clarence Thomas by the way, a black man married to a white woman. I mentioned earlier that on this trajectory interracial marriage is technically next on the list (Loving vs Virginia 1967) after LGBT rights. Be careful what you wish for, Clarence.

Some men will do anything to divorce their Karens.

I was an unwanted pregnancy for him.

Must have been a real bind for him to have to incubate then give birth to a baby he didn't want.

I'm presuming Emir's father identifies as a man.

Yes, I'm not sure how those women denying other women their choices makes any difference. My point still stands, why did your father believe his religious beliefs trumps women's autonomy over their own bodies?

There is only one conservative female justice currently on the court and who voted to overturn Roe - Amy Conan Barrett https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/biographies.aspx

There are two liberal female justices - Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor who both signed onto a furious dissent.

"reverses course today for one reason and one reason only: because the composition of this Court has changed.
“Whatever the exact scope of the coming laws, one result of today’s decision is certain: the curtailment of women’s rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens,mWith sorrow — for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection — we dissent," they concluded.

Two is generally considered to be a greater number than one, at least if you aren’t a WUM.
