Twilight Of Reproductive Rights


By Miss Kubelik

On this 2021 March for Abortion Justice day, we cats must pause to observe that Biff Kavanaugh — one of the lackeys that Mitch McConnell, via Benedict Donald, installed on the Supreme Court to kill Roe — has tested positive for COVID-19.

Biff has been vaccinated, of course, so his symptoms are mild to nonexistent. Still, we can dream, can't we?

Never mind that with our luck, if any SCOTUS justice succumbs to the coronavirus, it'll probably be 83-year-old Stephen Breyer. But how tempting is it, to think that someone as young as Biff would check out from COVID and hand Joe Biden a balance-shifting nomination?

If that were to happen, of course, McConnell would have none of it. Yes, we know he's not Majority Leader any more, but he still thinks he is. Which means he would demand a new rule — say, that the Senate can't vote on a nominee in the year before an election when the body is split 50-50.

Look, let's be real: Today's demonstrations in favor of reproductive freedom were wonderful. But with this Court, abortion rights are dead in America. The only bright spot is that the decision will come down next June, driving billions of people to the polls in the 2022 midterms to vote Democratic. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
