Why are all these idiots protesting the overturn of Roe v Wade in places like Los Angeles and New York?

[zagor]

Those places aren't going to change abortion laws. If you want to block streets and protest, go to Montgomery, Baton Rouge, Oklahoma City, etc. That is where the decision will really be felt, and where the restrictive laws will be (or have been) passed.

It's called "preaching to the converted." It's all anyone is interested in these days. No one's terribly interested in persuading people who don't think like them that maybe they should.

Which is kinda funny given that in a democracy if you can convince more people to think like you, you win.

SUPERB!!!

That is actually how politicians work now too. No more trying to convince the middle-of-the-road crowd. Instead work to get your purists to turn out en masse. Which makes for more extremism and less compromise on all sides.

[Opinion Owner]

Yep. That and even worse, they're literally not even TRYING to solve the problems their bases want them to solve. The Dems would have you believe they REALLY care about abortion rights. Yet there have been YEARS in which they held BOTH houses of Congress, a filibuster proof majority in the Senate AND the presidency. That means they could've passed a federal law to give a right to abortion. But they didn't because they preferred to fundraise off of the threat that Roe gets repealed.

What a stupid question

[Agagagagaga]

Do you believe that abortions are now illegal?

[Arwen06]

They aren't yet, but within the next few months half of the states in America will make it nearly impossible to get one

[zagor]

Right. So protest THERE. Not in Sacramento, where there is no danger of state laws restricting abortion.

Yeah, lets disrupt traffic and harass PEOPLE WHO ALREADY AGREE WITH US.

[Arwen06]

Cry about it bozo, how about I rape you and force you to have a child see how you like it

[zagor]

Did you even READ the question? Protesting in states that AREN'T restricting abortion is like bombing London to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. It's just useless venting.

[Arwen06]

They're protests against the supreme court you idiot, where else should they protest?

[zagor]

The protests are fine. Damaging property and disrupting lives in places that support abortion is not.

[Arwen06]

Noones damaging property lmao, and disruption is literally what protests do, you privileged fuck

[zagor]

Yeah lets waste time and energy doing things that don't help in the least bit rather than taking steps to actually change things. Yes I am privileged for being born with a much higher IQ than average.

[Arwen06]

How can we possibly change things that are in the supreme court, there's nothing else we can do

[RuthlessAggression]

All 50 states had them

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Good question
