Rules and law define us as a society, as a people. That is why we must give be cognizant of those we allow to make the laws that govern our freedoms. Today, in a landmark ruling that no one fucking asked for, the Supreme Court has decided to erase the word “may” from the text of all female creatures and planeswalkers.
“The sanctity of abilities are no longer defiled by the whims of those who would seek to destroy their purpose,” Karen Karenson said. “Abilities, activated or triggered, are meant to happen for it is God’s will. By removing ‘may’ we allow the natural order of things.”
Opponents of the ruling took to the streets to voice their disdain, calling it an abuse of freedom.
“Abilities that have the word ‘may’ in them have them for a good reason. Taking away the choice of whether an ability resolves puts female creatures and planeswalkers at risk, and remove a fundamental right over their own Garfield-given abilities.”
Other, far more obnoxious counter-protesters voiced their “opinions” as well.
“If the female creature ends up taking damage because of this, the player should just accept it and try to enjoy the rest of the game,” Cousin Banger Bob said. Several counter-protesters had similar sentiments, yet most admitted that they had little to no experience or knowledge of female creatures and Planeswalkers.
We all deserve a good laugh once in a while. But having freedom taken away from people is never funny. Women’s bodies are not something the government needs to regulate. Below are several organizations you can support to defend a woman’s basic human rights, and the right to choose. The moment we stop fighting is the moment we allow those who seek to impose their own idiotic misconceptions of virtue on every single one of our freedoms.
