Yeats's famous line, “the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity," might be an exaggeration, but it's not that far off. What we do now is an existential question.
Very judicious comment that neatly expresses the strong feeling that supporters of reproductive rights have allowed themselves to be sidelined, despite the fact that the writing has been clearly on the wall ever since Mitch McConnell disgracefully blocked President Obama's legitimate nomination to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. A "Supreme Court" that votes clearly along party lines — as is so obvious in this case — cries out for action to eliminate such political corruption.
Completely agree. Generally the asks I get from Planned Parenthood are for money or to contact my representatives in Congress. Since I'm a monthly contributor to PP and all my representatives are pro-choice, those actions are pointless. Not sure, however, what actions we can take. Petitions (completely useless) and marches, also not very effective, are on offer, and of course, there's voting for pro-choice candidates, but apart from constant (and I mean daily) large and vocal demonstrations in front of Congress and state legislatures in anti-choice states, which I don't see ever happening, what's possible?
