She married a liberal and lives near his family, so she’s getting a huge dose of woke liberalism. I’ve watched her progress down the proverbial dark hole after being raised in a conservative family.
And she was upset last night about Roe Vs. Wade. And we were texting and she said, “this is a freedom some people no longer have access to!”
And I said, “EXACTLY! Although abortion is not a freedom I approve of, I want you to understand that since 911, many of our freedoms have been removed, vanished, banned. This is something I Desperately need you to understand! Freedom of speech? Gone! Freedom of choice over our own bodies with vaccinations—-gone! Freedom to bare arms? Going! I want you to understand the truth of our times through your own lens of what freedom means! And now you do.”
And guys, she got it. She finally understood. But she had to have a lightbulb moment in her own way, in her own time.
It’s possible to redpill by discussing Roe.
Nice job!
As an aside, the importance of this ruling is not about abortions. Abortions were already mostly regulated by states. The only difference is now some states can ban it, which merely creates an inconvenience for abortionists who will have to drive to another state.
They key point is this ruling is giving States their constitutional rights back. For decades, under the tyranny of liberal SCOTUS, many rulings have overruled State rights. This country was designed to have a VERY limited Federal Govt, with few rights constitutionally guaranteed at the federal level, everything else is by default to be decided by the state. This makes most agencies, CDC, FDA, Education Dept and many more non constitutional. If it's not explicitly the role of the federal govt, as per constitution, then it should be devolved to the states. That was at least the original intent. This design has been corrupted by both sides, with Democrats getting SCOTUS involved on social issues which are none of the Federal Govt's business.
This ruling is a huge victory for state rights and liberty, more dominos will likely fall as a result, which will make the states stronger.
I did explain that part to her as well.
