My fellow Democrats, the authoritarian lurch of the Trump Republican Party has brought forth new poisoned fruit with the Supreme Court’s apparent decision to rip away an American woman’s right to make her own reproductive decisions. The women who I’ve admired and loved in my life have always had that right. In our younger days, the accessibility of birth control strategies gave us a freedom from worry and a joy to proceed as attractions and desires drew us together. We had less worry and were better able to grow in our relationships, with kindness and real friendship. Adding the Trump Republican Party’s legislative efforts at voter suppression, bordering on voter elimination, and the pro-Russian stance of many of its stalwarts underlines reasons why Democrats and others who oppose its authoritarian lurch should vote as if they were Ukrainians in November’s elections to protect our country and its Democracy from the perils the Trump Republican Party represents. Finally, how ironic it is that Samuel Alito wrote the muddled justification of the Court’s decision. Recalling, he had the crass indignity to interrupt President Obama’s State of the Union speech with his “Not true” comment. That’s all one needs to say concerning his dismal effort, while, also noting that two of his supportive colleagues on the Bench perjured their way to it in testimony concerning their relations with younger and more vulnerable women in their younger days. America’s Supreme Court has effectively, slapped America’s women yesterday and they and we should all take it as a lesson that to the pro-Russian Trump Republican Party we are all Ukrainians.
