He captured the Supreme Court. His SCOTUS selections torpedoed Roe, just like he wanted—needlessly endangering women's lives. And he walked away with millions.
Did you see this in the NYT this morning? Women are fighting back in Texas after being denied abortions because their fetuses were severely malformed - 2 didn’t even have a skull. The 5 women were denied abortions (one is the woman you highlighted above).
Just saw a Amanda Zurawski clip on MSNBC ~ she sums it up, "Nothing about this is pro-life." Leo and the Federalist Society's hypocrisy is astounding and must be addressed non-stop. Thanks for clanging the bell. More power to the TX women courageously suing...
The little fairy in the sky nonsense created in fear of death, has brought more death than any sane society should be willing to accept! All this misogynistic treatment of women is blood on Alito’s fucking hands, first and foremost! Leo realized opportunity, and has certainly cashed it in...Knights of Malta belong in a oubliette. Perhaps reviving the hanging on the cross practice is far humane a treatment for these connards!
Walgreens has fallen in line with 21 of the jamokes in states banning the day after pill, that’s serious fuckery!
Greg, thanks for this column. Not much news to me as Ive been following Religions evilness since about 1945. I was old enough to know about the Revival tents that came to rural America led by the Elmer Gantrys of the day.
The little towns were always poorer when th tents left.
These kooks goal is to make the US a Religious nation such as Iran and Isreal. No separation from their god.
As I recall there are more than 4000 religions.
Thats a lot of evil?
I wonder if Thomas, an alleged sexual harassment dude, is keeping an eye on Leo and Gini?
Is harming women the point? Yes, but more importantly, controlling women is the point, and further, controlling PEOPLE is the point. When is enough, enough? Apparently, never. Leonard Leo and his ilk, or as I like to call them, "Mel Gibson Catholics," will never, ever be satisfied with whatever they accomplish in the taking down of the US as it now stands. There will always be something else to go after, something else to ban, something else to change to their liking. If anyone thinks that they will EVER be satisfied, and that eventually this will stop, it won't. The CONTROL is the point. Their goal is to bring 1984 into reality, and that's no hyperbole.
I used to be a Catholic, a NORMAL Catholic, who accompanied mom and dad to church every week, was an altar boy, went to a Catholic grade school until 7th grade, the whole nine yards. When I got informed enough to know what I was doing, I drifted away from the church -- the pedophilia and the money grubbing were too much unlike what they were preaching for my taste. And still, to this day, we're still hearing about priests being arrested or placed on leave for more salacious accusations of sexual abuse. In addition, every time you turn around, there's a new donation envelope to fill for this charity or that "mission." My mom, who is 90, and a devout Catholic, not only has to deal with the extra envelopes in her box of donation envelopes, but letters from the archdiocese with MORE donation envelopes inside, and a Letter from the Archbishop about the "World this", or the "International that." How do you turn your back on that when you're 90 and have been raised to believe that the Church was doing good work, and is basically, infallible? I don't begrudge my mom's faith, but when she commented that there were an awful lot of donations being requested of her, I expressed my opinion that maybe it would be more honest if the church just put up a box office at the entrance. The Catholic Church, like any other CORPORATION, is a FOR profit racket. So, then, take all of this and put Leonard Leo and the rest of the Mel Gibson Catholics on top of it and you have IRAN, only Catholics.
THAT is so far from democracy, you can't even reach it by satellite phone. Even MOM strongly believes in the separation of church and state! This co-mingling that's been going on needs to come to an end. We are a nation of laws, not a nation of faith. Our laws may have originated with the Ten Commandments, but most of them are just common sense and we would probably have gotten to them without a burning bush and a long trek up a mountain, twice. We are certainly free to have faith in whatever god we want to, or not have faith in anything outside the realm of what we can see, but neither should be imposed on us. That is not a free country. That is a theocracy that would require a king or a dictator or a pope or a mullah to keep everyone in line. The right-wing Christo-fascists keep trying, and we have to keep fighting against it. It's a damned shame that we have to spend ANY of our short time on earth doing it, but they keep forcing the issue like they force EVERY issue. As I think I've said before, if you're against abortion, don't have one. If you're against gay marriage, ONLY marry people of the opposite sex. And if you're against democracy, get the fuck out.
And I thought Rupert was the worst we had to worry about. These cretins have been behind the scenes manipulators for decades and now they are in plain sight, destroying our rights just as the rulers of white Europe did to every perceived enemy, or lesser creature. As equality for women seemed on its way to reality, it scared the crap out of the likes of Catholic self-righteous bastards. Domination is the goal, in league with the likes of Putin. Anything but Christian…. The stage is set,

Damn fine reporting. Thank you. I hope like hell this goes viral.

Sadly, that smarmy, sanctimonious, tailored-up, bespectacled prig is kicking democracy where it counts. Exposing him is the start of fighting back
Thank You. Excellent, and devastating. Shared.

"But here is the devoutly pious Leonard Leo, a Knight of Malta don’t you know, greasing up the camels!"
That could have so many profane meanings.
Still no nickel under my pillow this morning
Here’s hoping Ms. Zurawski has very good legal council; she should take her case all the way to SCOTUS.
