#the criminalization of women's rights

...Into The Void: Issue 008 "What did you think would happen?!"
The only thing 'egregiously wrong from the start' is the complicity that brought us to challenge women's reproductive rights.
On women's rights, bodily autonomy and liberty as stated in the constitution, the fundamental right of healthcare (FYI, abortion is healthcare), criminalization of women and advocates seeking abortion, and stripping the voting rights of people with felony records (aka: the long con)
I'm so sick to death of the Supreme Court's leaked opinion on Dobbs v Jackson and Congress' anemic response.
For fuckin' shame.
1. The decision of Roe vs Wade is not a radical left position, it's a moderate position that protects the many nuanced instances in which you may terminate a pregnancy that states laws define as abortion. See point #2
2. Late-term abortion, as Republicans and Theocrats like to hyperfocus on, was never the core issue in Roe v Wade. It was always about ensuring early trimester rights to healthcare, and — in the modern context — protecting individual liberties from states' TRIGGER LAWS (Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, etc): those in Texas banning abortion after six weeks with the exception of life-threatening illness and injury to the mother; criminalizing abortion, those who seek it for themselves and medical professionals who assist them; it opens the door for even more oppressive and invasive legislation that criminalizes childbirth outcomes like miscarriage, environmental contributing factors, and restricts access medical procedures that carry an increased risk of miscarriage — including medical testing — by threatening to prosecute the professionals who administer them.
3. Felons can't vote, and based on the state that restriction may be temporary or permanent. Criminalizing abortion is yet another way to suppress the vote, chipping away at voters' rights protections which were already feeble to begin with. It strips women of their agency to have a voice in the legislation that effects them which is exponentially detrimental to the theft of more of their rights.
4. To those people who prioritize individual liberties over 'big government' federal power/jurisdiction as an rationale to opposing Roe v Wade: What TF do you think bodily autonomy is?! Without bodily autonomy, how can you have individual liberty?
5. Justice Alito's comments in the leaked Dobbs v Jackson opinion which undermines Roe v Wade are "these are not rights that are deep rooted in history." This opens the door to 'Constitutional loyalists/originalists' to radically interpret the Constitution to fit personal political bias by eroding any/all modern human rights that their political ideology takes offense to. Like marriage equality. If you think they won't, if you think word choice is just coincidental, then you aren't paying enough attention.
6. You cannot look at the states' prohibitive legislation toward legal and safe abortion, yet without access to affordable childcare, family planning, lack of universal healthcare in the face of life-altering childbirth and hospitalization expenses, dramatically undercut welfare programs — on the cycle of systemic violence toward women and children goes — as anything other than a class war attack on the working class, indebted, and impoverished.
7. With this impending backslide in the high court, I look at the balancing branch of Congress with a fair amount of anger and contempt for Republican and Democratic self-serving representatives alike.
Within my job we train in CPI, crisis prevention and intervention. I swear to goodness that every single Democratic member of Congress needs an intensive course! They cannot use a decision model to assess risk and severity (and here we are in the red zone of both a high probability and severely harmful outcome) in order to act. And for the life of us all, they refuse to read the room regarding an escalating, Republican-fueled crisis on healthcare as a fundamental right. On women's rights. Old guard Democrats are still trying to offer support and renewed rapport to Republican colleagues, not acknowledging that it's a vastly inappropriate response to the level of behavior that the rest of the world can see: Republicans are engaged in risk behavior that endangers the American people by they're continuous refusal to reason and intimidation and the ONLY appropriate response is direct a course and decisively intervene.
Except Democrats in Congress don't have the **** force of will! Not to bring rogue party members to heel with opposition about their personal enrichment. Not to endorse candidates —like Jessica Cisneros, Nina Turner, etc — that challenge the status quo against laxidasical incumbents like Henry Cuellar and Shontel Brown. Not to shore up a "big tent" that is in danger of collapse in the midterms under the burgeoning weight of complicity. Not to protect bodily autonomy or fundamental rights.
For shame Republicans, who put out quotes like (the photo below) "my confidence in the court has been rocked / it would be completely inconsistent." What did you think would happen if you applied just a little bit of foresight?! For shame Democrats that put out quotes like the need for "strong Republicans."
For shame Congress. When are you going to show up for the people?

Please!! (When you have time or feel like it🫶) more of Bee’s crimes!!! I like being reminded that she’s just as unhinged as Konig!!! Let women commit crimesss
Bee has a pirate radio station where she just plays random music that her weird hacker friends make. None of it is technically good, but it is technically illegal for her to be playing it. You can only listen to this station while in a mile radius of her house, but plenty of people have driven past her little house and been assaulted by hyperhouse and techno-metal. She's not sorry. She has been fined by the FCC.
Bee has committed identity theft before.
The only thing that stopped Bee from putting trackers on König's phone when she first met him was the logistics of getting his phone. Not the legality, or the invasion of privacy. She didn't know how to get his phone for long enough to get trackers on it. She did put keystroke trackers on König's computer when she fixed it that one time. (She gets pinged when he searches keywords)
Bee cannot legally enter Canada.
Bee is no longer allowed to teach internet safety to the local high school students. The administration was forced to weigh the pros and cons of teenagers being able to bypass their firewalls, and also there was perhaps a small (itty bitty, really Bee can't be held responsible for a hack this teeny weeny) issue with the grade-book software getting hacked after her lessons.
Sometimes when Bee goes to the coffee place in town she just logs onto the free wifi and snoops through people's computers. Beware of open networks...
Bee uses linux and her computer is completely unusable to anyone but her. König tried to look something up on her laptop and gave himself a migraine.
Bee once contacted her senator's wife and mistress because he wouldn't take her calls. Direct action.

Zionists and filthy colonial settler Israelis are amazing at predicting exactly the crimes they will commit and worse. They said Hamas raped the women on no basis, and now the IDF is raping Palestinian women, beating pregnant women, defiling modest women and shooting anyone who tries to do anything. Is there a group of people worse than this?
Are you understanding the horror of what they are doing?

The Israeli occupation authorities extended the detention of Palestinian journalist Mervat Al-Azzeh, from occupied Jerusalem, knowing that she was arrested on November 16, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs and Liberators Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Club.
Local and press sources reported that the Israeli occupation authorities summoned the journalist Mervat Al-Azzeh, 45, to the police station of the settlement of Nevi Yaqoub, which is established on the occupied lands of Jerusalem, against the background of her Facebook posts.
Al-Azzeh was transferred to an Israeli military court in Jerusalem, and her detention was extended for trial on charges of "incitement" on social media, a charge that the occupation authorities attach to all those who stand in solidarity with the Palestinians and the genocide they are subjected to in Gaza.
Since last October 7, when the resistance of "Qassam", the military wing of Hamas, launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which resulted in the death of more than 1,200 Israelis and the start of the occupation's aggression on Gaza, the Israeli forces arrested 38 journalists in the West Bank governorates, 30 of whom are still behind bars, bringing the number of journalists currently in the Israeli occupation prisons to 44.
