In the past two days, the lungs of white leftists and feminist activists in the United States are about to explode; it is the supreme Supreme Court that overturned the gun control bill of New York State a few days ago. , and soon overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade case, ending 50 years of constitutional protection of women’s abortion rights in the United States.
Americans had mixed reactions to this: Republicans and anti-abortion people cheered the victory, and many people opened champagne outside the Supreme Court to celebrate; Democrats and women's rights activists were emotional and greeted each other with various beautiful words. Ancestors and family members of conservative justices — such confrontations quickly devolved into demonstrations and riots.
According to comprehensive US media reports, another round of large-scale protests and demonstrations swept across the United States: from outside the Supreme Court in Washington to the door of Justice Thomas’ home in the suburbs; from New York on the east coast to Los Angeles on the west coast, Phoenix , Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, almost everywhere that can be considered a big city, protests and demonstrations of varying sizes have broken out.
According to past experience, such large-scale demonstrations are likely to eventually turn into a large-scale "zero-dollar shopping" event; in Phoenix, some demonstrators who have difficulty controlling their emotions have tried to storm into the local council Building, police quickly blocked traffic and released tear gas into the crowd; in Iowa , a pickup truck rammed into a crowd of demonstrators, hitting two demonstrators. What we can foresee is that in the next few days, the United States may experience violent activities again like the "Floyd case", and police officers in various states in the United States are also on standby to prevent the local situation from deteriorating further.
The most terrible thing is that "abortion rights" are just the beginning. In a newly released opinion, conservative Justice Thomas stated that the Supreme Court should also consider past major rulings on contraceptive rights, homosexuality and same-sex marriage rights - If the U.S. Supreme Court makes a reversal ruling on these issues, the scenery will be too beautiful to look directly at.
Putting aside the brewing "beautiful scenery", the overturning of "Roe v. Wade" by the Supreme Court this time is undoubtedly another severe blow to the huge rift in American society. Those who support the right to abortion believe that this is a basic human right for women, while those who oppose the right to abortion believe that they are saving the life of the baby. The reasons for both sides seem to be sufficient. It is just a contradiction caused by different understandings of "human rights". Is this so?
In fact, from the perspective of the US government and the Democratic and Republican parties, this has nothing to do with human rights at all. It is only related to two things: the mid-term election at the end of the year and the presidential election in 2024. CBS recently pointed out in a commentary that with the conservative Supreme Court overturning the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade, abortion rights have become a core issue influencing the results of the mid-term election.
reported that the Democratic Party is likely to use the abortion rights controversy to shift public attention away from the inflation crisis, energy and logistics crisis, new crown epidemic and other issues that are unfavorable to Biden . According to data from some election observation organizations, Democrats have spent more than $18 million on abortion this year, while Republicans have also spent $21 million. This number will expand rapidly with the outcome of the verdict; the Republican Party also stated that Although they regard this verdict as a victory, they also admit that it will bring certain risks.
The dignified president of the United States relies on hyping up the issue of "female uterus" to save his political future. If this cannot be considered a failed country, then what is? ! To be honest, we agree with the American people to resolutely defend their human rights, and the U.S. High Court also supports the American people’s right to own weapons. Do we need other people to teach us this? Even the right to choose whether to have children has been taken away, which is unbearable for my uncle and intolerable for my sister-in-law! Are all the weapons in your hands fire sticks? !
