Here's what really pisses me off: When a state like Texas or Iowa proposes a bill targeting ISPs and credit card companies, among others, I want to see a bill proposed in a blue state (California and New York, looking at you) that's just as strong, in the opposite direction. I want every fucking business in this country to know that if you submit to the demands of red states, you are going to be in deep shit in the blue states. I want them in a no-win situation where they have to choose and they beg and plead for somebody to save them. Because if only one side is doing the bullying and intimidation, that side's going to win. This taking the high road crap is getting us killed. There are more of us. We have more resources. We have more leverage. We need to fucking use it.
And we need to boycott loudly any company that cowers to threats - companies need to stand up to to bully bullshit and tell them to bring it - lets start going to court in droves - force the courts and Congress to deal with what the evil Sam Alito has brought upon us.
It's ironic conservatives accuse people of "trafficking" if they transport minors to get abortions when they're literally weaponizing the law to traffick girls and women into unwanted pregnancies. Their go-to response to unwanted pregnancies is always "well you should have closed your legs." And when they end up in an anti-abortion center, they'll casually suggest to them to sell their baby to a Christian adoption agency to alleviate the "burden" they forced them into. This isn't about "saving babies." This is about weaponizing motherhood as a justice system to punish women's sexual behavior. And then cash in on the suffering through Christian "charities."
Yeah. And I don't even understand how it could be illegal to bring a minor to a state where abortion is legal. Just because you live in one state doesn't mean you're tied that state's law when you go to another state. Denying that means the minor and the person who took them are not citizens of the USA but prisoners of an individual state. So, if you live in Utah, where gambling is illegal, but go to Nevada to gamble and then go back to Utah, have you broken any law in Utah? I must be missing something...
It's certainly disturbingly reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act that led up to the Civil War. More evidence to support how all of this blatantly violates the 13th amendment.

Hope we understand??? Jessica, you are a buoy in a stormy sea!

Prisoners of the state - yes, that is a very good phrase for it which we all need to repeat
