This is not a political blog. I think you know that. I steer clear of politics in the hope of reaching as many young lawyers as possible.
Today, on Election Day 2024, I deviate from that. It is the only exception that I have made in almost twenty years of my Best Friends at the Bar blog and program. Today I herald the agency of women and pray for a particular political outcome.
Today I hope that respect for women will leap forward and not revert to fifty years ago. I remember those days, and I understand what hangs in the balance.
This election is not about a particular woman. It is not even about the perfect woman candidate. It is about ALL WOMEN who want equality and agency over their decisions and their lives. And make no mistake, some of their lives are at risk.
The decision you make in this election can make a difference for ALL WOMEN.
I hope you make the right choice. I hope you vote for a better future for your mother, your sister, your daughter, your women friends, and all women who deserve the right to make decisions about their own bodies without interference from their government.
I hope you vote for a Better America.
