Political Green Diva: Gloria Steinem, Sarah Palin & What Women Should Know
NOTE: The views express here are strictly those of Green Diva Meg and not necessarily held or supported by GreenOptions Media or RedGreenandBlue.com.
If you haven’t seen the powerhouse Op-Ed by Gloria Steinem about Sarah Palin that was published in the Los Angeles Times last month, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Ms. Steinem’s POV. She passionately articulates what so many of us have wanted to say. Thank you Gloria!
If you are a woman or love one (or several, whatever), I hope you will consider carefully how damaging the gun-toting Gov. and her ‘maverick’ boss could be to women’s rights and reproductive rights among other vital issues of course.
The next president will likely have to make a Supreme Court appointment.
And why should we care?
The next president will likely have the opportunity to appoint one possibly two Supreme Court justices. More than once in the last 8 years, the conservative right has attempted to stack the highest court with ‘pro life’ judges. If even one of the more left-leaning judges that is getting ready to retire is replaced by a conservative right-leaning judge who is inclined to overturn Roe v. Wade, there are many States waiting in the wings with ‘trigger’ laws just waiting to make abortion illegal. This is only one aspect of why the next president and their potential to appoint a Supreme Court justice is critical.
