A Gen Z organization is enlisting people to flood anti-abortion websites following leak of draft opinion overturning Roe
NBC NEWS ^ | May 3, 2022 | Kalhan Rosenblatt

Victoria Hammett was goofing off while watching a live stream of The Met Gala on Monday night when she saw the news.

Politico published a leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court would overturn the constitutional right to abortion enshrined in Roe v. Wade.

Within minutes, Hammett, 23, the deputy executive director for non-profit activist group Gen-Z For Change, was on a call planning how she and others could fight back. The group is made up of members from the Gen-Z generation, which Pew Research defines as anyone born after 1997.

“We were all texting each other immediately," Hammett said. "We set up a Zoom call ... and then immediately we hit the ground running figuring out what we could do to help."

Since it formed in 2020, Gen-Z For Change has been among a host of activist groups and movements led by young people to combat what they perceive as the stripping of their rights and protections.

In recent years, groups like March For Our Lives, which advocates for reforming gun laws, and The Sunrise Movement, which seeks to raise climate change awareness, have been led by Gen Z, also known as zoomers, to create the change that young progressives feel will create a better future. These organizations, which have strong social media presences, are more adept at wielding the internet in ways their older counterparts are typically less experienced in.

So these folks think that everyone should support abortion in their age group? Or are they intolerant fascists and expect it?

I wonder if if Gen y and Gen z ers know how much of their generation is missing due to abortion.

Abirtion is the murder of a baby plus all the generations that would have followed of even one child being aborted....they would have likely had kids too.

So NBC says the crazed young people are planning to maliciously attack & disable websites across the country. Sounds like criminal conspiracy.

Everything that does, is associated with misery and death, and increasing suffering

Spamming to respond to website polls or intakes to overwhelm it with traffic is not illegal. That is different from hacking, which is unauthorized access.

A godless society is all about death. It’s not surprising they embrace it

God spoke about them:

Proverbs 8:36
New King James Version

36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.

Everyone, EVERYONE that I sat in school with were born when killing them was illegal. Now, if it weren’t for the flood of illegals crossing our borders every day, a child would look around at an empty classroom, being one of the lucky few survivors.

There are two types of murder. Physical and Spiritual.

The former is bad, the later is worse.

The Almighty knows the child before he/she is even conceived.

Brilliant! Enlist others to help your generation murder the next generation, kind of like how your parents’ generation murdered a large part of your generation. These are some sharp kids, let me tell you.
