Erosion of Rights




e·ro·sion - the gradual destruction or diminution of something


Currently there is organized conservative attack on the rights of women in tis country.

When Trump basically stole the election in 2016, he set into motion his plan to reverse any intelligent, thoughtful and remotely progressive laws that this country has built in the last 50 years.

When the Republicans illegally blocked President Obama's choice for Supreme Court, Merrick Garland to replace conservative Antonin Scalia, this set the wheels of extreme conservatism into motion.

Since then the court has been swung to a 5-4 conservative court with no one in the middle ground. The Republican plan to reshape the laws of this land in it's extremely conservative image is moving unimpededly forward. When these new justices where under oath in a Congressional hearing, they all spoke of not overturning existing law that has come in front of the courts before them. But as recently as this month the courts just reversed a 40 year old decision on a states sovereign immunity to lawsuits in other states.

In his decent, Justice Stephen Breyer writes,"Today's decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the court will overrule next."

Paving the way to the possible next Supreme Court showdown are conservative state legislators who are imposing extremely strict, anti-abortion laws that all but wipe out a woman's rights.

Alabama is the latest state to impose these ridiculous new laws that are sure to be challenged. But, that is what they want. These conservative state legislators are acting under their puppet master, trump to get these laws in front of the Supreme Court. In the hopes that this new Conservative court will overturn the 1973 landmark Roe V Wade decision.

This is a concerted effort on the part of the Trump administration to get rid of any legislation that shows the hint of leaning liberal. These attacks are attacks on all women regardless of political leanings. But will have a chilling effect on not only women but America in total.

The Trump administration is attacking immigration, sensible gun control, women's right to choose just to name a few.

These laws have no moral, medical or reasonable standings but are what his minority conservative base want.

This is also where moderate Republicans need to step up and voice their oppositions. Those who back this administration for political gain but find Trump morally reprehensible. There is no place for this in the coming months and years. They to, need to take a stand.

Our only weapon is to bombard to Senators and Congressman/women with letters opposing these draconian legislations. make your voice heard and remember to vote in your primaries, and vote in 2020.

The Democratic nominee may not be your first choice, be he or she is out ONLY chance of stopping Trumps and his conservative army from dismantling what makes America a country that other's used to look up too.
