With the death of Antonin Scalia, the republicans are bent on blocking anything Obama does to appoint a new Justice. This could have really heavy consequences. First off, we can't have EIGHT FRIGGIN' JUSTICES for almost a year. Second, if they are successful at this, they can possibly overturn Roe Vs. Wade. That would be an awful thing. If women don't have access to safe abortions, desperate women will seek out unsafe abortions. Backdoor coat-hanger-man and stuff. This concerns me deeply as it will lead to women dying that didn't have to. They could possibly overturn Gay-Marriage. My cousin is a lesbian. Her partner is awesome! (These two are social workers... in Chicago. Let me say that again, SOCIAL WORKERS IN CHIGAGO!. They've seen some shit go down) I'm not going to be part of the people that tells these two, with everything they've been through, that they can't marry who they want.
Give me some hope? I'm a bit freaked out!
