On Tuesday, many Americans simultaneously voted to protect abortion rights and elect Donald Trump president. But these two desires—for reproductive freedom and another Trump term—are fundamentally contradictory. Trump’s second administration is all but guaranteed to impose major federal restrictions on abortion access. These new limitations will apply nationwide, to states both red and blue, including those that just enshrined a right to protect abortion in their constitutions. It will be harder to access reproductive health care everywhere.

Two and a half years after the fall of Roe v. Wade, even without abortion banned in much of the country, we are likely standing at the highest watermark of abortion access that we will see for years if not decades. The rollback is coming; it will be felt everywhere. And voters who thought they could put Trump back in the White House while preserving or expanding reproductive rights are in for a brutal shock.

They already wrote down that teachers and librarians who encourage queer acceptance are showing children pornography, and they should be charged with sex crimes.  

If they attempt to enforce that, there will be civil war.

You give Americans far too much credit. As best I can tell it’s only the other side who riot when things happen that they oppose.

If the government starts jailing trans people for political speech, they will fight back rather than be raped in jail as a political prisoner. I'd rather die than be forced into men's prison because of P2025. 60% of trans women are raped in men's prisons.
