52 Card Project 2022: Week 26: Rage

[pegkerr]

Re: SCOTUS (again)

I don't think I have ever felt this sickened and angry in my entire life. I am not sure I can quite explain it, especially to the men in my life: it is like a depth charge stun grenade in the soul, a shock like I've never experienced before to have stripped away the constitutional right of my own bodily autonomy I've known was there my entire adult life. Even though I'm past child-bearing age. (Yes, I recognize and acknowledge within my shock the parameters of my own privilege, that I've never encountered its like before).

Honest question: what on earth do I do with all my rage?

I know, I feel the same. It's a punitive, malicious slap in the face. Those medically-illiterate pathological authoritarians think women are not people. We are just livestock. We aren't supposed to participate fully in this society. They hate women who are past childbearing age just as much as they hate women who are within those years. Maybe more. We almost got away from them, but now they've got us too.

I don't think any amount of bile and malice is too much to attribute to the so-called Justices who supported this decision. Anger is an entirely ordinate reaction.

It's just so exhausting.
