Roe v Wade - allowing abortions - was based on the Right to Privacy, right? Well, sure, but I believe it was based on something even deeper and more important - the right of the Empowerment of Women. It allowed women to determine their lives and not be under the tyrannical foot of theocratic religions. The right to privacy was the doorway through which women’s empowerment emerged.
Women, and couples, could decide for themselves whether to have a child. A hard choice oftentimes, of course. But one that brought women into the workforce as never before, and one that gave women a freedom that liberated their lives and their destinies. They could decide.
So, the theocratic religious extremists who have taken that freedom away - watch out - women of both parties are voters. And elections are going to move more and more in the direction of women's empowerment, or so I believe.
If one takes away such a fundamental freedom, one can expect a pretty angry blowback.
Perhaps a fatal flaw of authoritarian extremism is the inability to understand those who are not in the cult, and a false belief that they can force those not trapped inside their bullying religion to obey their own fanatical dictates.
I believe personal freedom triumphs over extremist dogma.
Roe Roe Roe your vote…
