“House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer released a 65-page memo detailing a sprawling investigation into Biden and some of his relatives, particularly his son Hunter Biden. Nowhere in the massive document was there a specific allegation of a crime committed by Biden or any of his relatives.”

‘They Are Coming for Roe’: Internet Explodes in Fury as Alabama Governor Signs Near-Total Ban on Abortion

Americans are outraged, angry, upset, and scared now that Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey has just signed into law a bill banning all abortions, except if the mother’s life is threatened by her pregnancy.
Today, I signed into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act. To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious & that every life is a sacred gift from God. https://t.co/DwKJyAjSs8 pic.twitter.com/PIUQip6nmw

Many are expressing anger and feelings of betrayal, noting Republicans called those who opposed President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court picks “hysterical,” while insisting that Roe v. Wade was settled law and could never be challenged or overturned.
The Alabama bill was designed by religious extremists to overturn Roe v. Wade. Now that it has been signed in to law it will be challenged, along with other extreme abortion bans in other states. They will get to the Supreme Court, and many experts believe the Trump-formed Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade.
On social media, many are expressing anger at those who put Donald Trump in the Oval Office, especially Americans who chose to vote third party, for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson as a protest vote. Some are blaming what right now feels like the inevitable overturn of a woman’s right to choose on those who enabled and motivated protest votes, including actress Susan Sarandon.
Trending are terms including #AlabamaAbortionBan, Kay Ivey, #WomensRightsAreHumanRights, #YouKnowMe, #AbortionRights, and Pat Robertson – all related to the Alabama abortion ban.
Take a look:
Every woman sobbing on election night knew what was coming.

It’s never the wrong time to say this, but now seems like a particularly right time: Susan Sarandon can go fuck herself forever.

When the Alabama abortion case goes to the Supreme Court, I hope your protest vote for Jill Stein was worth it.

It’s amazing protest voters dont see the link between their 2016 narcissism and Alabama et. al. abortion laws.
This is being done because it is 5-4 majority GOP SCOTUS. Had HRC been elected it would be 6-3 dem. THIS is what you “protest voted” for. Thanks, @SusanSarandon.

Anyone hear from Susan Sarandon or Jill Stein this morning? https://t.co/AokQ24LwXw

Alabama and Georgia’s abortion laws are about right wing Christianity reclaiming what it considers it’s rightful throne. #RoeVWade
Very true fact: If you didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 bc you listened to the BernieBros, Susan Sarandon or Jill Stein you made this happen.
