The Worst Decision
The worst decision in American history was made yesterday. Roe v Wade has been overturned. Reproductive rights for women are all but gone and the Supreme Court won’t stop there. They’re going to target contraceptives, gay rights/marriage, and even interracial marriage next. America is heading down a dark path and I greatly fear for its future.
As an African-American woman, I am fully aware of what this decision means for my community.
This means that poor women (especially women of color) who don’t have access to or knowledge of contraceptives will be forced to have children they can’t afford which will lead to impoverished homes or even child abandonment. This is assuming that the Supreme Court will likely get rid of Safe Haven laws too.
Women who are victims of abuse or SA will be forced to have children who will remind them of their trauma which will lead to a terrible cycle of abuse and neglect or even worse. This is especially bad if the child is a product of incest since interfamily abuse is quite common in the black community and the abusers are always protected and treated like royalty.
Women will resort to illegal abortions which can lead to infertility or death. Or they’ll end up committing suicide while pregnant or straight up committing infanticide once the baby is born.
This is a horrible setback for America and I weep for my fellow women who are affected by this. Unfortunately I live in one of the states with trigger laws (Tennessee) so this affects me as well.
Godspeed America. Get ready to burn because the riots and protests will definitely be coming and it’s well deserved. We need to take control of this country and make it ours again. This will not stop us and we will rise up against this tyranny.

Pag 1
1: Yeah
It suits you!
2: You knowk, a robbon with summer clothes...
Where should we go have lunch?
3: No, Naruko-san was like this, teh!
The way Imaizumi-san was swinging his bike was incredible too!!
4: He was so much faster than during practice! It felt like he was flexing and bending his huge body!!
5: Naruko-san's low posture and speed was like a rocket, teh!!

“The Inter High representative is decided”
“It's Sohoku high school....”
2: It was so cool, teh...!!
Yeah!! Yeah!!
But for a moment I thought Imaizumi-san would win
That's because Naruko-san was mere seconds behind Imaizumi-san and so he was protected from the wind and could rest his legs
Huh!? Really!? He did sucha thing while running at that speed?
3: I don't really get it, but as expected from the winner of the first years' race!!
Well, yeah!! Yeah, I won

1: Nii-chan!! Nii-chan
Ah, you're right, you're right

Every year, hearing the first years' reaction is the climax haha
Got it, got it- “every year”?

4: Ohhh... it's going to last four days?
It says we have to0 run 1000km

4: What are you talking about?
You didn't even come to the qualifiers
5: That's because I had to look after the other first years' practice...
It's been bothering me for a while

It's just muscular pain!! So I asked Onoda-san for a different practice menu
How long is a short while

And moreover, against Hakogaku's Shinkai Yuuto....!!

It'll heal heal soon

Mybe it's going in a good direction!!

6: After the race on Minegayama
Issa!!

Pag 14

Pag 19

Pag 20

The training camp is close, so....

All skillful cyclists can use their upper body well
