Watching this ceremony for RBG is a lot for me today. It's hard to grasp the enormity of it all.

This is really hitting me hard this morning.
I was born when some of the things she helped changed were in place. Financial independence, body autonomy, not being able to be fired because I was pregnant. There's just so much.
And they're going to put the antithesis of her on the court. Which makes no sense.

Welp, the push ups just fucking ended me. The floodgates, while barely holding back, just burst open.

I also believe that the GOP knows exactly what they're doing on the abortion issue and that's why it hasn't been outlawed (yet). They know that unless Roe is overturned, they can use the abortion issue to continue to control their base and stay in power. Because enough people are one issue voters and are too stupid and brainwashed to see the bigger picture. I know of quite a few of these types of people and they are dangerous.

I think Ron Paul just had a stroke on livestream. I watched the video (it’s all over Twitter) and you can literally see it happen. It’s insane.

lemondrop I love that article so much. I listened to a podcast a while back on hidden brain that was about the evolution of organized religion and the guest was saying that in order for a religion to increase in size and power, morality rules are such that more children are had. That is why many religions are against birth control and abortion and homosexuality. It really isn't about the sanctity of life. Plus you know, the patriarchy.

And I didn't mean to pounce on them, I just misunderstood what you were saying.

I was trying to summarize an hour podcast in a few sentences so I'm bound to leave out a few important details.

My mum made a great point tonight. She basically said, "IDGAF what ACB's religious beliefs are, I care that she can faithfully defend and protect the Constitution without her religious beliefs impacting her judgment"

What does the Bible say about hypocrisy? I can't recall. Oo! Oo! I know! I know! Pick me! If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. - James 1:26 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. - Matthew7:1-5
