In the confirmed leak, the US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, calls the 1973
Roe v Wade ruling - which legalised abortion across the US "egregiously wrongfrom the start." This cancel culture rollback of a woman's right to choose goesfar beyond an attack on sexual liberation and reproductive rights. It exposes thewhole corrosive concept of rights in general with its implied submissivegratitude yet culpable acceptance of the state. ---- The judgement - an historictriumph for evangelicals and the newly renamed fascist ‘Alt Right' has been anattack in plain sight since Donald Trump honoured his pre-election statement "Iam pro life and will be appointing pro life judges" in 2016. He appointed 3 ofthe last four to their job for life office. Initiated by the review of legalityof Mississippi's introduction of a 15 week abortion limit, 26 US states eitherhave new laws ready to enact or are working on them to embed this attack on women.The twisted cynicism of this blast in the culture wars is that those who care sovocally about life from conception to birth don't give a damn what befalls themafter from cradle to grave! Biden (an original opponent or the Roe v Wadedecision) is correct in noticing that "A whole range of rights is in question ".The political right, who proudly trumpeted AIDS as God's judgement onhomosexuality and have been diligently working on disenfranchising America'spoor, will now have their sights on same sex couples' partnerships and adoption,trans people, employment rights and access to healthcare for the most vulnerable.We don't have to guess, they shout it from the roof tops. Rights shouldn't justnot be taken for granted, but recognised as the toxic chalice they are - onlyever conceded under duress, sold to us as a loyalty card and robbed under anyperception of weakness. When America catches cold, the world gets flu. Only massmobilisation of our class and persistent revolt will reverse this heinous crimeand preserve what limited gains we have wrung out of capitalism in the course ofbloody class struggle.https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/2022/05/05/how-many-rights-make-a-wrong/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
