Liberals, Pitching A Fit

THE LIBS WAS pitching a fit about the suddden criminalization of abortion in the great reprobate state of Tex-ass, lamenting Christian conservative unconstitutionailty, fittingly. The smug, inert Supreme Court had declined to put a stay on the bizarre new law which turns every citizen into a legal vigilante, which it easily could have done but didn't, thus turning every citizen in Texas into a one person vigilante, making everyone a member of the thought police, and conspicuously violating the constitution, which Christian conservatives swear up and down they never even think about doing. What further horrors would the future bring, other than a new nation ill conceived in coat hangers in back alleys all acroos freedom's land? Yes, for the time being, that appears to be precisely the direction in which we are headed, back to the bad ole days of barbaric, furtive abortions performed by quacks or the pregnant themselves. And I felt exactly the same fit pitchingly way. So, intrepdily I tried to give comfort and solace and hope to my fellow progressive freedom fighters. Paraphrased, into Facebook I boldly typed: "I consider it highly likely that ultimately the current Supreme court will uphold Roe v. Wade, because Roe v. Wade is universally considered settled law, was correctly decided, and even the current far right high court, imbued with its ultra conservative ideology, will, at the end of the day (as we like to say), accede to this reality." That's paraphrased, as I mentioned....that's when the fireworks began in earnest..."You are living in fantasy land" is the most memorable. (Oh were that only true). It turned out to be the kindest, truest comment I received in a left wing indignant barrarge, with the possible exception a several references to what I can do to my own body parts, to achieve sexual gratification. I quickly became reacquainted with the pervasive pessimism on America's political left concerning the prospects for survival of personal human reproductive freedom in the land of liberty. Under no circumstances, about no issue, should the left ever be forlorn about future prospects. With fits and starts, and frequent periods of retrogression, history inexorably moves from right to left, from tradition to progress, from resistance-to-change to change. Liberalism, over time, always wins, because change alwasy happens. And yet, hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned, or disappointed, lest it be a woman's, or a conservative's. The vitriole aimed at me on Facebook by my fellow libs only got worse, so I announced my intention of skulking back to fantasy land, and left, without the slightest concern that abortion rights will ever be taken away in these United States of America, the land where liberty lives.
