Virginia is one vote away from being Texas
One of my favorite posters from recent womens’ rights marches is the one that reads: “I can’t believe I still have to protest this [stuff].” (Of course, the sign used a different word than “stuff.”) But the point is correct: The right to make fundamental decisions about one’s reproductive health was recognized as a constitutional right in Roe v. Wade in 1973, almost 50 years ago. And yet, abortion rights are in greater peril now than they have been at any time in the last 48 years. I can’t believe we still have to protest this stuff. But we do. And we have to do more than that. We have to organize and vote.
