I'm already hearing about protests and actions being planned in my area, and some talk about how this summer's reaction to it could be similar to or bigger than 2020. Personally I don't know. The 2020 uprisings were global because white supremacy and police brutality are global, but I feel like the US is so particularly backwards regarding abortion that you'd have a hard time getting protests going in other countries where the right to choose is more well-protected.

    OP your prediction couldn't be more different from mine.

    I think it'll be a nothing burger.

    There's not a moment like with George Floyd. This is leaking, oozing, trickling crackdown

    Right first they've been warning us this was coming for years, Texas laws, the supreme court leak, then the supreme court ruling, then each state is going have their legislation.

    Mentally we've ALWAYS been living in the new reality.

    Abortion always has activated republican voters more than democrats. I think democrat leadership is going to be closet-relieved that the issue is finally settled.

    The people who are going to hurt most are poor women in red states who dem leadership can't give a fuck about.
