I grew up Catholic in conservative, small-town Missouri and I went to Catholic school, which is to say I know and love a whole lotta people who are celebrating this day. Amy Coney Barrett Day. And yet it won& #39;t surprise you I& #39;m not celebrating, and therein lies the rub.

I& #39;m 55. I won& #39;t be needing an abortion anytime soon (you can laugh now) though if I did need one I could afford to fly to a place to get me one and I could even afford a hotel room to heal in so I could keep it a secret before I flew home.

Roe v. Wade did not create abortion. Women have sought and had abortions since the beginning of time, and women will continue to have abortions.

The law ensured women’s safety, gave women the right to make difficult, private medical decisions, and gave poor women the same rights as women who had the cash for a good doctor and a week in Rome or Paris or London to recover.

The confirmation of this justice, who has so little judicial experience, 8 days before an election, is both farce and travesty. No lives will be saved because of her verdicts. But the righteous will be able to feel righteous, so I guess there& #39;s that.

Here& #39;s to the safety of women, who are human beings, too. In case you forgot. Because I think a lot of you forgot.
