From her Substack article yesterday:
"never before in our history have more than half of Americans lost the recognition of a constitutional right, as the Supreme Court took from us with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision in June, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that recognized the constitutional right to an abortion."
I read this and all I could think of are the tens of millions of aggrieved people who are up in arms because the "constitutional rights" of some hospital and medical employees to work without vaccinations are deemed "equivalent" or, more likely, "even worse."
It seems to be part of the same concept that the Americans who are "really" suffering religious persecution are Christians.
Is it just some sort of hypersensitivity? Or one-upmanship? ("I'm being persecuted, too. I'm losing my Constitutional rights, too...") I find it pretty bizarre.
There is real suffering out there. Real religious persecution throughout the world. Real denial of basic human rights (think women in Afghanistan.)
I would think that the pain of being told "you need a shot; suck it up or pack your things" would make people more sensitive to the pain of a fourteen year-old pregnant teen, but it doesn't.
I would think that being told, "Yeah, you have to make that same-sex wedding cake" would make people sensitive to the exploitation of Palestinians, but it doesn't.
So sad.
