In a setback to abortion rights advocates, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday paved the way for Republican-backed restrictions on medication-induced abortions to take effect in Arkansas that could lead to the shuttering of two of the state’s three abortion clinics.

On another topic, kudos to ABC for canceling Roseanne Barr’s show after her racist bullshit tweets. Hopefully, this catches on. Her racism just cost her millions. The idiot.

I heard she did that, but I didn’t bother to read her actual statements. I just assumed it was bad.

She said racist, blatantly racist, crap about Valerie Jarret. ABC said it was awful and repugnant so they were canceling her show. Her management company broke with her, too, so now she has no representation. This cost her millions. Sadly, it also means her fellow cast members and those who work on the show behind the scenes are now out of work because their lead actress is a bigot and a pig.

And tRumpsky LOVES her! At first he didn’t, of course. But that’s the way he is. Hot – cold – hot -cold -hot -cold … well, you get the idea.

That’s what makes this all the sweeter. She tied herself to him and he ate it up. Now this happens and she gets publicly spanked by ABC which directly reflects on tRump and his hateful rhetoric. I LUVZ it!

I get so very angry when I read anything that takes away a woman’s right to abortion … or her attempts to prevent pregnancy.
It’s HER life … it’s HER body! And NO ONE has the right to interfere with any decisions she makes regarding same.
Unfortunately, I’m merely a voice crying in the wind …
