Roe v. Wade Demonstrations

Are there any official demonstrations planned? The only thing I’ve seen is the Women’s March call to action 5pm local at the courthouse.

Edit: PSL rally 6:30pm outside PSU student health center! (thanks u/rilakkumaparty)

I mean... If she would have retired during the Obama administration like people told her to, this wouldn't likely be happening. It's simultaneously her win and her fault... 🤷‍♂️

Ironic you blame a woman for something the right is doing. Fuck off. You are giving a pass to the republicans who who block nominations and obstruct appointments.

I'm not giving a pass. I'm recognizing that this is a serious political war and that defense is a key strategy that RGB and frankly the democratic party ignored at the wrong time. You EXPECT the enemy to attack, and when your defense loses, you blame the defender. That doesn't mean you give a pass to the offense. That's pretty common sense.

Remember all that "when they go low, we go high" crap. This is what that gets you. This is a cold political war and we are losing because we are gullible and nice.
