Women have Rights! Rally to overturn Hobby Lobby Ruling

It's great that people are rallying. There are a number of things people can still fight for within or around the confines of this evil decision.

But there is no appealing SCOTUS decisions, and as whack as that decision was, it seems unlikely the five white men who decided it -- showing how disingenuous and wrong they knew their decision was by saying it only applied in this case and only for birth control, not transfusions, etc -- they are not going to want to revisit the issue any time soon.

Unfortunately, it may be 10 or 20 years, at least, before this decision is put aside by a new SCOTUS. Most of the conservative judges are relatively young and likely to stick around for a while.

It is mass movements, not judges or presidents that make the difference. Richard Nixon was certainly a fascist, but we won not only the Environmental Protection Agency while he was president, we won the right to abortion in 1973 with Roe v Wade, with the majority opinion written by a Nixon appointee, Justice Blackmun, and a Kennedy appointee, Justice White, dissented. The pro-abortion movement was part of our peace movement against the war against Vietnam, the umbrella for the women's and gay liberation movements that were reborn in the late 1960s. Women are 51% of the population; we need to see millions of women in the streets now for the right to free abortion on demand with no restrictions.

Rallying is nice but the reality is, it would take Congress in lieu of the SCOTUS changing its ruling sometime in the future, to reverse the effects of it in the short term. Does anyone really think Congress is going to get anything done? If you do, I own a bridge back east that I'll sell you a piece of for five bucks.
