I don’t understand how this could leak. And why they voted now without any press coverage of actually, properly taking this back to the Supreme Court.
I hope people wake up...this is only the beginning of the end if not.

I know this isn't the wisest comment ever, but I'm have to say it: let's spend more time arguing the need for declarations of faith in anti racism, instead of major issues that affect everyone.
Anti-racism DOES affect everyone. It all affects everyone. The worst thing we can do at this point is start making arguments like these, which divide rather than unite.
@Anonymous The truth is that a lot of voters agree with you about abortion, but disagree with the extremes that anti-racism and pro-trans activists are demanding. If you say other pro-life supporters are not allowed to disagree with you on anti-racism because that is "dividing rather than uniting" then you're forcing them to choose whether they care more about that or abortion, and some of them will chose that other issue and leave for the republican party, and you will lose every election (and lose the right to abortion).
You don't have to agree with their viewpoint, but right-to-abortion is extremely popular in most polls and anti-racism isn't, and if you actually want to win the election then you'll need to pick and choose battles. Tying to tie both issues together into something that every democrat has to support all-or-none means you'll lose the election and lose both issues.
Anti-Racism is tiring now. It is a CYA, virtue-signaling argument that to me belittles the true meaning which is authentic acknowledgement of differences -- not a desperate bid by everyone from the media to big business to include Black and Brown people to look good and to now focus only and exclusively on those minorities. It feels like a numbers game. It often feels like people just looking to shout and be mean and angry and intimidating. And why is Anti-Racism such a big deal and Anti-Semitism is completely tolerable, sometimes even seen as PART of that campaign.
@Anonymous No one is trying to make you feel anything other than aware. The rest is up to you. Marginalized groups care about their treatment in this country just like white voters do. They care about that more than climate change and more than abortion (which, polls show, many of them disapprove of in most circumstances). But there are not enough average white voters to protect a democratic victory in the mid terms or otherwise. The BIPOC vote is needed. So unless you want your right to autonomy over your body to go out the window with climate change and everything else you hold dear, you'd best hope that the dems figure out a way to keep all their factions united. Throw the BIPOC community under the bus at your own peril.
Oh Canada

@AnonymousQ i read this 3 times and still have no clue what your point is.

The worst thing we can do at this moment in time is divide rather than unite. All of this matters. All of it. Rinse and repeat.
@Anonymous nope. No one tries to make me feel bad about being a white person needing an abortion. They do try to make me ashamed for being white.

Every person who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary is responsible for this.
I'd throw a little of Mitch McConnell in there, too
I am livid.
