Back in time to like Sodom and Gommorrah?

As news of the Supreme Court's decision to end constitutional protections for abortion spread Friday morning, many in Southern California responded with a simple question: Where do we protest?
The overturning of the landmark 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision will not hinder reproductive health access in California, where abortion will continue to be protected under state law. But the landscape on the ground will look painfully different in other parts of the country.
The first Los Angeles crowds began to gather around noon outside a federal courthouse downtown .
Standing with the growing crowd, Francisca Romero, a 25-year-old actress originally from Uruguay, described the Supreme Court decision as a tipping point in the country.
The green bandana tied around her neck was similar to the ones worn by women's rights activists in Mexico and Argentina when they fought for abortion rights, she said. Other volunteers and organizers wore their own green bandanas printed with the words "Overturn Roe? Hell no!"
"To me it feels like we're going back in time," Romero said. She couldn't believe this moment was happening in the United States.
The crowd outside the courthouse quickly grew to more than a hundred people, then 200.
"This is a point we can either mobilize and come together and say, 'Enough is enough. We won't stand for it.' Or we're going to sit back and be complacent to violence," said Becca Waite, a 34-year-old organizer with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights and a traveling emergency room nurse currently working in Orange County.

Yes, back to a time when legislatures made the laws.
Given the state of things, “back in time” ain’t necessarily a bad thing.
Tonight we ‘re gonna party like it’s 1972?
You can kill a baby up until birth in CA.
These people are stupid.
Protesting in an area that will see no change to their abortion availability. If anything, companies in the state will (and have) start to offer more benefits for those seeking abortions, including for transwomen (genetic males).
Abortions are still legal in California. What nonsense !
.
Chuck Todd NBC News said the Supreme Court is Rigged.
He said even John Roberts thinks it’s a runaway Court appointed nefariously by Donald Trump.
Roberts’ Hate for Trump is well known.

Burn LA and San Fran to the ground (where abortion is not threatened)
Back in time to like Sodom and Gommorrah?
Riots (I mean protests?) seem almost pre-planned and coordinated with soon to come shoplifting mobs going to getaway vehicles waiting outside the stores.
Sorry to predict the future. Can’t help myself.
and you’ll note amongst all the whining and wailing and gnashing of teeth, not one word is made of better birthcontrol habits... funny that
“We’re here to protest being free to make our own decisions on things. It’s un-democratic!”
It’s real simple. We are going back in time when States used their Constitutionally granted powers to regulate behavior.
Abortion never was a natural or legal right.
Roe v. Wade was in fact an action by the Supreme Court to legislate unconstitutionally by the unelected.
Thank God we finally have a Supreme Court that knows its place.
That might have a cleansing effect…
I had a Huffy with long forks, a racing slick and a sissy bar. Saturday movie was 75 cents!
Anybody else see the irony that leftists will likely loot and burn LA and other California cities tonight to protest the loss of “Abortion rights”, while the Supreme Court ruling returning abortion decisions to the states, will not impact Abortion in California one bit and and California will continue to have some of the loosest abortion rules in the nation.
So women too lazy or smart enough to not to get PG want the right to kill a child. Yeah makes sense to me.
Maybe we should just sew them shut since they are so stupid. Don’t want them to pro-create anyway.
Any riots in states where it is still legal should be put down with a big hammer.
