I feel compelled to make this journal
3 years ago
Hello everyone, long time no see.
Been sick for a bit and my mom is still in the hospital but after today's US Supreme Court decision, I feel compelled to speak my thoughts. Just using this as an outlet and if it offends you, good. You're the exact type of person that I want to offend.
First, today's ruling is an absolute travesty and who do we have to thank for it? Republicans, all of the dumb as hell Trump supporters, and lastly, Conservative Christians.
Republicans, since the original Roe verdict, have been pushing to have it overturned.
Trump Supporters helped to elect the very person who appointed the judges who made today's decision.
Conservative Christians, with their "pro-life" movement, fail to understand that supporting life after birth is also "pro-life"
To all of these groups of people, go fuck yourself sideways with a rake.
Obviously, there's much more to this entire thing and I'm only highlighting a few things.
Again, if you're offended, I don't care, nor do I need or want your support. If we allow this to continue, who knows how many of our rights are going to be stripped away in the name of some dusty old book about an invisible man in the sky telling us how to live.
As Ana Kasparian from the TYT team once said:
"I don’t care if you’re Christian. In fact, I will fight for you to have your religious liberty and practice your Christianity. I believe in that.
I don’t believe in Christianity, which means that you do not get to dictate the way I live my life based on your religion. I don’t care what the Bible says. You have every right in the world; all those women who identify with your religion have every right in the world to not get an abortion, to not take birth control. But they do not have the right to dictate my life and what I decide to do with my body. I don’t care about your goddamn religion.
I’m so tired of having non-stop conversations about what the Bible says. You live your life in the way that you interpret the Bible. Again, I don’t care. But you don’t get to take the Bible and tell me well the Bible says this in this chapter in this verse. I don’t care."

None.
I hope you can forgive me for belonging to a religious group.
It's okay to have a religious belief, but it's not okay to force that belief onto others.
