We won’t go back
Two years ago, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court set women’s rights back half a century.
It reversed Roe v. Wade and opened the door for states to pass laws that restrict or ban abortion, which half of states have now done.
The court’s six reactionaries have made their intention clear. They want to take our nation backward. With one decision, they’ve pushed women back to 1972, to the days when sexual discrimination was legal and women weren’t allowed to make their own choices.
If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember those days. We remember them too. And we liked a lot about them. American Pie and Let’s Stay Together. The Poseidon Adventure and Cabaret. Carrot cake, tie-dye and playing outside till dark.
Fun stuff. But fond as we are of Flip Wilson and platform shoes, we don’t want to go back 1972. We won’t. Because it was bad in all sorts of ways, especially for women. They couldn’t have a credit card in their own name. They could legally be fired if they got pregnant. And they couldn’t end a pregnancy without risking jail.
We’ll say it again. We won’t go back.
