He has this beautiful, luxuriant hair, and he puts stuff on. He puts it in. Lather. He likes lots of lather because he likes it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And he lathers up and then turns on this crazy shower and the thing drips, drips, and he says, ‘He’s gonna be here for 45 minutes. What?’
Wow, folks, it seems like our rights are under a relentless attack these days. We’re at a seriously critical juncture for reproductive rights. Can you believe it? It’s mind-boggling how so many politicians and activists are laser-focused on denying us—women—the fundamental right to control our own bodies. Just imagine if—God forbid—the decomposing jack-o-lantern gets (re)elected what would be coming at us. After more than 1,300 restrictions since Roe v. Wade, 2021 was pretty much breaking records in the worst possible way for abortion rights since about half of them were introduced in that year alone. (As if we needed more challenges in that year, right?) Then came 2022, and they did away with it all together. This was in part because the short-fingered vulgarian got to appoint three of them.
Let’s not forget about the mind-blowing Texas S.B. 8 law, shall we? It banned abortions after six weeks. Six weeks! Most people don’t even know they’re pregnant by then. Talk about targeted unrealistic expectations persecution! And as if we didn’t already know, other states started lining up to pull the same crap. Ugh.
Now, let’s get real on who’s most affected. Women? Yes. But it’s your Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities that bear the brunt of these inhumane laws, thanks to ingrained systemic racism (because history just keeps repeating itself, doesn’t it?). Whether it’s people with low incomes, those with inflexible work schedules, or folks who can’t even get proper childcare or transportation—these laws hit hard.
But, hear me out: there’s hope because you’ve got the power (and that’s a game changer). You can help protect and expand abortion access, even when it seems like all the odds are against us. Fight back, advocate, and support. Your voice matters! Vote for Harris / Walz 2024!
