> Both of these verdicts were and continue to be widely criticized by conservatives as being based on extremely dubious reasoning.

Roe is criticized by liberals as well. I didn't realize how much of a stretch that decision was until it became front and center. I remain in favor of a codified Roe and, given how flimsy that ruling was and that they had plenty of chances to do so, I blame Democrats entirely for not doing so before this ruling. Especially given that it would generally be nationally popular to do so.

The cynic in me sees how popular Roe style abortion rules would be nationally and how much it was used as a fundraiser and wonders if Democrats simply didn't want to kill the golden goose.



At no point have Democrats had the ability to legalise abortion with members like Manchin in the party.

And the idea they wouldn't do it anyway for fund-raising reasons is a disgraceful claim to make.

We are talking about modern politicians, aren't we?


Congres is incapable of doing it's job so the Supreme Court has to do it.

I have read about America in the 1850s and there are some unsettling parallels.
