And so it begins.
In case you’ve lived under a rock for the last year or so (Hi, Beta!), due to one retirement and one death the US Supreme Court has taken a serious turn for the conservative. What that basically means is, among other things, for the first time in a really, really long time, if Roe v. Wade has a very real chance to be overturned.
Today the South Dakota legislature aimed their rifle squarely at the controversial law. It is very likely that the South Dakotan governor will choose to pull the trigger.
Right-winger nutballs choose to restrict freedom, then claim that those who choose to object to the United States’ current foreign and domestic policy as anti-freedom. Welcome to America, the new home of doublethink.

God, I’m really begining to love the flyover states. If they get to the point where they repeal Roe vs. Wade, then you know that Idaho will be one of the states first in line to make abortions illegal. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t follow South Dakota’s lead and not wait for a Supreme Court ruiling. What happened to freedom being a cornerstone of our country?

Oh, you didn’t read the release notes. In America 2.0, “freedom” has been redefined to mean “the right to believe and act on those things we percieve to be appropriate.” Thus, we can say that we’re fighting for the freedom to criticize the government and to carry firearms, but at the same time say that it’s immoral for two guys to recieve the same benefits as a man and a woman or for a woman who has been raped to not bear the child of her rapist. Also, we can use the phrase “if you aren’t doing anything wrong, then you don’t have anything to be afraid of” freely without percieving the discontinuity in that statement at all.
