Both houses would have been controlled by Republicans. Basically all Hillary would have been allowed to do is nominate justices and handle COVID. She would have done it much better than Trump. Perhaps Russia decides to invade Ukraine earlier since they wouldn't have an ally in Trump.
I wish the old forums still existed because I'm pretty sure you would have been one of the ones telling us we were overreacting and that Roe would not be overturned.
What's there to be optimistic about? A large percentage of young people didn't vote because Hillary wasn't pure enough and now they are stuck with a conservative Supreme Court for most of their adult life.
If a fetus is a baby, why doesn't have the same rights as a baby? Why can't it be claimed as a dependent? Why can't life insurance be purchased on it? Why isn't a birth certificate issued while it's in the womb?
This got me thinking. Wouldn't be murder to pull the plug on someone on life support? Life is life. The comatose patient is relying on someone else to eat and breathe like an embryo.
I've never been more proud of my vote for Hillary Clinton. The effects of Trump are going to be felt for generations. It's worse than I ever imagined and I thought the worst of Trump back in 2016.
Both of my mother's parents lived in Italy during WWII and my dad's mother lived in Romania during that time. Both were raised as Catholics and both will protect the right to abortion for the very reason you mention here. Funny how two people can look at one event differently.
