Turns Out That Bodily Autonomy Is A Thing

By Miss Kubelik

Tomorrow should be a fun day at the White House, with the Obamas scheduled to visit for the unveiling of their official portraits.

It will be swell to see them together with Joe & Jill again — especially because we cats are truly overdosing on all the Benedict Donald news. Cable TV pundits just love to talk about him, don't they? It's too much. We've gotten to the point where we have to de-trumpify our entire lives — all nine of them.

Meanwhile, the talking heads (at least, the ones online) appear to have figured out that 2022 might not follow their assumed playbook. Women are riding to the rescue. Check these numbers out:

• After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, people in Kansas rushed to register to vote. More than 70 percent of them were women.
• In Pennsylvania, 62 percent of people registering to vote registered as Democrats. Fifty-four percent were younger than 25.
• Fifty-six percent of people surveyed say that reproductive rights will be very important to their midterm vote.

Republicans are so damn scared right now that they're wiping their campaign websites clean of their "Don't kill the babies!" language. (Luckily, that desperate move has been noticed.) So, what's left for them to try? Are they going to disenfranchise all these women voters the way they've suppressed people of color? Maybe repeal the 19th Amendment? We wouldn't put it past them. We cats HISS.
