“Hocus Pocus” witch Bette Midler went on a wild Twitter rant on Friday, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly 50 years after making abortion a constitutional right.
In her initial tweet, Midler said the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision was “tone-deaf” towards the needs of the nation.
“They did it. THEY DID IT TO US!” She posted. “SCOTUS has overturned RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years. How dare they? This SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people.” Midler tailed the post with the hashtag #WakeUpAmerica.

In a follow-up tweet, she blamed conservatives for being “short-sighted and selfish,” and said that it’s none of their “godd**ned business what I do with my body!” Insisting that the nation will soon be “littered with orphans that no one wants,” and that the government won’t raise “every unwanted child into adulthood,” nor will they pay for the salaries of teachers to educate them.
Insanely, Midler suggested that the ruling was a ploy to breed more white people. “They want more white people and don’t care how they get them or what shape they’re in when they are grown,” she posted.
This is so short-sighted and selfish of the right wing. 1) it’s none of your goddamned business what I do with my body! 2) the country will soon be littered with orphans that no one wants; are they going to raise every unwanted child to adulthood? No fucking way! They won’t

Later, she accused the foster system of abusing children in their care and using them as “slaves” until the turn 18. “Many babies are never adopted but are shunted from foster home to foster home where they are abused & used as slaves until they age out,” the “Beaches” star wrote.
She blamed former President Trump for appointing three “radical traditionalist Catholics” onto the Supreme Court, with the intention of “shoving America even further to the right.”
“What absolute irony that the death of #RoevWade should be brought to us by #DonaldJackassTrump, who undoubtedly paid for a hundred of them himself,” the actress fumed.

Midler concluded her lengthy Friday rampage with a message to the LGBTQ community. “GET READY, GAYS. YOU’RE NEXT,” she added.

No one cares what she does with her body! You would think she would have at least read what the ruling was about as her comments are ignorant. The issues have been sent back to the states where they belong and she has made a fool of herself. What a dummy!
