I’m So Angry At SCOTUS I’ve Had Six Abortions In The Last Week Just To Show Them

New York, July 4 – Each year on this date the pain compounds, as people of conscience everywhere bemoan the establishment of the worst society in history, with the possible exception of the Zionist one. Two Fridays ago the justice of this attitude once again became manifest as the illegitimate “Supreme” Court ruled that the Constitution does not support an inherent right to abortion, plunging the rights of uterus-havers back into the Dark Ages. It induced in me such rage that in the time since, I have undergone the termination of no fewer than half a dozen pregnancies. Take that, Clarence Thomas!

I harbor no illusions about the difficult path ahead in solidarity with America’s uterus-bearing residents: the issue of abortion devolves back to the individual states, where concerted campaigns will prove necessary to keep fighting to keep fetuses from being treated as worthy of protection. SCOTUS didn’t formally revoke any abortion rights; it ruled that the issue belongs not in the Court but in state legislatures. That means the struggle changes arenas, and the importance of sustaining a critical mass of angry womb-havers and their allies now grows. To help sustain that anger, I vow to have at least one abortion every week until every state in the Union affirms a woma- I mean a uterus-haver’s right to terminate the clump of cells growing inside xer until that clump of cells is at least out of preschool. It’s the least I can do, as an ally of the oppressed.

By no means do you have only the option of regular abortions to protest this outrage! Many other possibilities lie available to you: attacking conservative justices; threatening violence against legislators and voters who disagree with you; bombing non-abortion pregnancy support centers; blocking traffic on major thoroughfares so that ambulances cannot reach patients or hospitals on time; even simple challenges to the legitimacy of the institutions of this republic that fail to toe the progressive line. We often forget it’s also your right not to have an abortion, as bizarre a choice as that may appear to the right-thinking mind. I know I resent my mother’s decision to carry me to term instead of exercising her prerogative as an empowered uterus-bearing individual to abort whatever was in that thing. But that was her right and I must respect that.

People in blue states should also take upon themselves to have abortions on behalf of red state pregnant people without access to them.
