Supreme Courts’s 5-4 decision yesterday to negate part of the Family Leave Act:
“I’ll be damned if the conservatives on the Supreme Court weren’t getting jealous of all the congressional and state-level battles in the war on women and decided that they needed to take up arms themselves….
First, conservatives want to make sure you get pregnant by limiting access to birth control, then force you to have the baby by limiting access to abortions, then if you get fired for taking time off to have the baby, you have no right to recourse for being fired. Great. All these things that have been litigated decades ago and established as basic rights have been inverted.” - Nicole Belle
No birth control, no health screenings for mother or child, no job to come back to. That is the family values of the Republican Party.
