Bill of Rights Misinformation - Lauren Gilbert
105
Published 2022-08-01
In this month's episode of the Social Wave Project, I will be interviewing Digital Creator Lauren Gilbert (a.k.a. Neurodiversity with Lozza) where we discuss the imbalance relationship between politics and the disability community, particularly the impact of the Bill of Rights will have while it is going through its second reading in the House of Commons.
We also talk about the future of the disability community. It was an absolute pleasure to interview Lauren and I hope to invite her on the podcast again very soon!

Long time no see, Sez. As an autistic adult myself, I never stop believing in dreams, cuz you helped me conquer my anxiety over the meeting with Cinderella, the Disney Princess of my dreams, and you were so brave to curtsy with her, and that made me tear up, cuz it was really beautiful and magical, and I'll never ever forget it for the rest of my life.

When you talk about "rights" in the UK, the scope always seems to be restrictive, more like entitlements or glorified privileges that are convenient for the government rather than an affirmation of natural personal liberty. Your rights might as well be written by the government on a chalkboard as opposed to having them carved in stone. Taking power away from the EU courts might work out well long-term since the EU is run as a cabal, and relying a court system where local elected officials have a say in the selection process will make the courts more responsive to local issues and protect national interests, as opposed to relying on a foreign (EU) court that's effectively acting as dictators with no personal stake in the UK's interests. In regards to what you two said about Roe v. Wade, it is not that simple. It was an abortion clinic that sparked the case when they filed the original case against Mississippi's new 15 week abortion ban, and they ultimately lost. Unlike what people like to say on Twitter and TikTok, the ruling was not made lightly and they took an unusually long time to write it and it ended up 147 pages long! The court identified a cascade of problems with Roe's conclusions and determined "no such right [to abortion] ever existed", then gave the states back the power to decide their own abortion laws like how things were before 1973.
