Since a leaked Supreme Court memo has indicated that it is likely that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court will rescind (gut) Roe v Wade, there are some things that Congress can do, IF THERE ARE ENOUGH DEMOCRATIC VOTES to get them done. Having enough democratic votes in Congress will mean that ENOUGH PEOPLE will have to vote in the midterm elections for enough democrats to make sure there are enough votes to get important things done legislatively.
Warning: Not all of the democratic candidates running in the midterm elections are legit. Beware in races where there is more than one democrat on the ballot. There are many millions of corporate dollars and other dark money dollars being spent on the midterm election to elect corporate and other special interest candidates who if elected will not represent the voting citizens but will represent corporate and other special interests. So, if there is more than one democrat on your ballot, make sure to check their endorsements. Try to find out who is financing their election campaigns. Look at their endorsements and past records of legislation or political work of all candidates. Take a good close look at each and every one of the candidates. Choose the one who you think will best represent you as a citizen and the community as a whole.
Now, back to the silver lining in what Congress could do if it had enough democratic votes to protect the reproductive rights of women, keep abortion safe and legal, and protect children from being born into poverty and other dire circumstances:
Congress could:
1. Codify Roe v Wade into law.
2. Create a program specifically to assist in providing funding for nutrition for all children living in poverty, provide health care for them, and ensure they have housing and the basic necessities of life. These are all of the things the most anti abortion zealots never address, the after the “save the baby” fetus is (forced to go to term) and is born and enters into a life of destitution. (Remember the Build Back Better Bill? It does a lot to address and mitigate childhood poverty. But it is stalled because of Manchin and Sinema, corporate democrats, and the entire republican senate caucus.)
There are also some things that citizens can do:
Contact the Supreme Court and individual justices with calls, texts, and emails to tell them that you are furious that they want to desecrate the right of reproductive decision making. You can tell them that you stand in opposition to their hateful, hurtful decisions and unjust stripping away of human rights.
Another thing that ALL AMERICANS should consider doing is this:
Tell the Supreme Court that you do not support it or deem it to be valid and legitimate whenever it goes so against human rights, the constitution, and what the American people want and value. It might be time to delegitimize the Supreme Court with non-compliance by rescinding our consent, the consent of the American people, that we the people have always traditionally conferred on it. The Supreme Court is the valued and vaunted highest court in the land only as long as the American people confer power to it, respect it, and trust it. When the Supreme Court takes away our rights, it violates our trust and is not serving justice but undermining it. If the Supreme Court violates our trust, we can take away its legitimacy and not comply with its unjust actions, decisions and opinions.
