Are you feeling what I'm feeling?
We’re not pretending like anything else happened yesterday except Dobbs.
How we feeling out there this morning? Hahaha. Yeah... we are not feeling good. You may notice that I typically pull one especially good, representative headline to illustrate a story or some element of it. Today, they all look like this:
New York Magazine | Supreme Court Looks Likely to Kill Roe in Mississippi Case | Irin Carmon
Conservative justices’ “casual contempt for women is not a good sign.” They “appear poised to uphold Mississippi’s ban,” “seem poised to overturn,” “are poised to roll back,” “appears likely to roll back,” “signal willingness to pare back,” “suggest sweeping abortion-rights pullback,” “attack Roe head-on,” and in almost refreshing directness, “will overturn.” The court “indicates it could eliminate a core element of Roe,” “makes clear the unthinkable is here.” “It sure sounds like Roe v. Wade is doomed.”
