An expression used to describe those that feel upset about the overturning of the landmark Roe Vs Wade legislation in the USA.
Roes (people who support Roe) often take to
the Internet to mistakenly complain about how their rights have been stripped away (but don't
understand that the overturning just takes abortion law away from federal government and returns it to the decision of
democratically elected state officials - in other words, the power has been returned to the electorate of each state. Ironically, this insulates states against sudden national shifts to either pro life/pro abortion legislation by the president).
Complaints often revolve around the idea that women will no longer be able to have consequence free sex anymore. The outrage is typically expressed by shouting down anyone who is pro life/anti-abortion with terms such as "bigot" or "anti-woman".
Roes cannot be reasoned with and should not be engaged by anyone seeking a civilised debate.

screeched something about how she can no longer satisfy Moloch's insatiable thirst for
young blood?"
Terra: "ah, it would seem Roes mad"
