This does NOT apply to the justices who dissented. The others should be ashamed. Such a dark day for our country. 😞 @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie Seriously ✊🏼 2y
KristiAhlers This has made me sick to my stomach. We don‘t legislate the male body. Why is everyone so okay with legislating a female body? I can‘t wrap my mind around this right now. Wish RBG was still here to impart her calm wisdom. 2y
DinoMom Sad day for women! 2y

Sophronisba Well, I love the sentiment but I am just sick over the decision. 2y
CBee @KristiAhlers she‘s rolling over her in her grave, I‘m sure. We definitely need an RBG right now 😞 2y
CBee @DinoMom @JenReadsAlot @Sophronisba we‘re going backwards and I‘m sick over it too 😞 2y
thereadingpal I'm so sorry for you all. Sending love from Italy. I hope you can protest and riot. 2y
Eggbeater Well said! 2y
CBee @thereadingpal so many are already protesting and I‘m sure that will continue. I‘m trying to figure out the best way that I can help. My state is one of the worst to live in as far as progress goes. 😞 2y
thereadingpal @CBee I'm so sorry. My fb timeline and discord server have been flooded with terrified and angry people and I hate that I can't help. 2y
CBee @thereadingpal you can help by listening! And with your kind comments. You‘re helping ♥️ 2y
thereadingpal @CBee I'll always be here to listen. Many of you have got my email because of Litsylove. If someone needs to talk it through or vent, do contact me 2y
CBee @thereadingpal thank you! 2y
Leftcoastzen Disgusting and awful! This is a dark day , nightmare. 2y

CBee @Maria514626 I know what you mean 😊 If I ever take up needlework, which I probably won‘t 😂 I‘ll sew us all one of these 😃 2y
Maria514626 @CBee I have a cross stitch pattern that says “NOPE.” The word is surrounded by cutesy hearts. 😆😆😆 Looks like I‘m going to work some things out—with a needle. 2y
CBee @Maria514626 oh I think I need that 😂 I have a button that has a big red NO with a small yes underneath 😂😂 2y
Maria514626 @CBee That‘s fantastic. 🎉🎉🎉 2y
CBee @Maria514626 what‘s even better is, my husband got it for me 😂😂 he gets it 😂 2y

Gutted

AlaMich And just like that, we really are living A Handmaid‘s Tale. 2y

ravenlee The fascists are winning. 2y
JenReadsAlot Makes me want to throw up. 2y
TheBookHippie @CBee they told me last night- I‘ve puked wailed and hit the punching bag… on we fight. 2y
TheBookHippie @ravenlee and they aren‘t done yet. 2y
CBee @TheBookHippie always 💪🏻 2y
batsy @ravenlee Truly terrifying, and taking shape in some way in many parts of the world. 2y
Graywacke No words. 😞 2y
Readergrrl Even though I knew it was coming, it still was shocking. Time to gird our loins, ladies! 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿 2y
TheBookHippie @batsy it‘s already on the schedule as far as I know. 2y
DGRachel It was never just about abortion. I‘m so angry I can‘t see straight. 2y
TheBookHippie @DGRachel SAME. I‘ve been yelling for YEARS . Now people get it. 2y
Deblovestoread Beyond devastated. 2y
Addison_Reads I really think it's time I get out of Texas. I'm terrified about what Abbott will do now that it's been overturned. 2y
Maria514626 I‘m stunned. Like someone woke me up from a deep sleep and I don‘t know where I am. (Not surprised. 😡) 2y
vlwelser And somehow Margaret Atwood predicted the future in the US. Brilliant lady but I wish she was wrong. 2y
TheBookHippie @Addison_Reads I‘m scared for you. 2y
TheBookHippie @Maria514626 I don‘t know why I‘m stunned as soon as trump was elected I knew this was coming. 2y
UwannaPublishme Sick to my stomach.😖💔 2y
Tamra Support Planned Parenthood! I know I am. 2y
TheBookHippie @Tamra ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 ABSOLUTELY!!! 2y
AmyG No surprise. They are just beginning. Get it all in while Jan 6 committee airs their corruption. Young people sure as hell better get out to vote. And fight. All of us. 2y
TheBookHippie @AmyG nope and everytime you vote you‘re voting for a Supreme Court justice. Everytime . Get that in your head folks. 2y
MoonWitch94 I felt it was coming before we were alerted it was coming. That was what I was terrified of when 45 became President. And sadly, this is just the beginning. Today, I‘m scared, sick, sad, angry, livid, furious—all the things! Tomorrow, it‘s time to fight 💪🏻 2y
Leftcoastzen I‘m feeling broken today. 2y
TheBookHippie @MoonWitch94 I knew the moment trump was elected. 2y
TheBookHippie @AmyG also it‘s fun to see who unfollows me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✊🏼💯🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
AmyG Hahahaha, me, too. 👊🏻 2y
jenniferw88 Thought of you as soon as I heard. Something coming from bookdepository for you. 2y
Tineke This is terrible. I had to talk to my 13 yo daughter about what happens in your country. She was shocked. Does the Supreme Court need to be unanimous in their rulings? And what is the number of Democrats and Republicans in the Supreme Court? 2y
TheBookHippie @jenniferw88 AWE. .. How fun......and I will continue to fight until there is no breath in me.... 💜 2y
TheBookHippie @Tineke No just a majority and we currently have 3 trump appointed justices that made this happen. It is why people voted for him & mostly the only reason. So 6 conservatives to 3 not. This won't be it, LGBTQIA rights are next and etc. Mitch McConnell a republican senator refused to appoint a justice under Obama and then under Trump rammed 3 through...People don't understand every time they vote they are actually voting for the justices. It's evil 2y
TheBookHippie @Tineke what they did is evil. And they know it. 2y
Tineke Oh they do know. I read the Twitter thread about them going after more rulings and how one man deliberately left out the ruling of having the right to marry interracially and how he is a black man married to a white woman. While the Twitter thread said these rulings were based on the same foundation. 2y
TheBookHippie @Tineke YUP. That is the plan. It has always been the plan. We are now the Theocracy the evangelicals have always wanted us to be. 2y
Tineke I am truly not getting how a senator can just refuse to appoint a justice because the president is not of the same political affiliation as him. Those are some weird rules. 2y
Tineke I am hoping November (an important time I believe) will bring some relief. Although I watched a clip on our national news outlet with a young woman being pro life who was extatic about this rule. I suddenly don't feel trust. How can someone so young be so happy that their own right is taken away. How can one be so blind? 2y
TheBookHippie @Tineke They are brainwashed from birth. And have no idea what has actually been taken away. Over here WHITE WOMEN are the biggest threat to Women's Rights. Around here is it the Dutch Reformed women who are the biggest threat, you know the religious zealots that left the Netherlands in the late 1800s early 1900s....... 2y
TheBookHippie @Tineke November if it goes bad we will lose democracy all together. But people don't see it..... 2y
Sleepswithbooks Heartbroken. Disgusted. Broken. I want to vomit. 2y
janeycanuck I‘m heartbroken for American women. I read that Border Control has been instructed to let any woman in who says she is seeking an abortion. So few Americans holds passports, though. But my guest room is available for anyone who should ever need it. (edited) 2y
TheBookHippie @janeycanuck I'll bring pasta, coffee and books .... 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 2y
Branwen I'm feeling terrified, broken hearted, and furious all at the same time. 💔 2y
TheBookHippie @Branwen yes. Alllll of it. I‘ve been preparing for over 5 years and still I‘m in shock . 2y
Catsandbooks Depressed. Enraged. Our only clinic in MS is going to close. 🤬 Making sure I donate to groups who especially need it even more now 2y
CarolynM 💔 2y
BookwormAHN I'm still in shock. I vote and for this reading I have only ever voted for the prochoice. That is the first thing about any candidate I look at but I live in Louisiana so I'm really screwed 💔 2y
BookwormAHN I meant this reason. 🤬 autocorrect. 2y
mollyrotondo Remember everyone: while a war is going on in the Ukraine and people are being shot and killed by mass shooters who can easily buy guns, our Supreme Court is worrying about how to suppress women and strip us of our human rights. This is the country we live in. Land of the free? I have never been more ashamed. 2y
IMASLOWREADER a lot of ppl are anti women…even women…so sad 2y
