It’s fascinating when you can ignore the partisan politics and see why things happened and why it’s a good thing. I am pro-choice but the law was bad. It was the court making law and making it up poorly.
If you look at many of the recent rulings, they follow the same trend, it’s not the courts job to make law. That is the job of congress.
Yet partisan people will say, they overturned Roe v Wade and then add their partisan twist that either the court is evil or they were doing the lords work.
Neither is true, the court was ruling the correct way. Congress needs to make the laws. Everyone is so busy blaming the court, they ignore that congress is the one who failed. The court didn’t say abortion shouldn’t be legal. It just said the states should make the decision or congress.
That is why we have this shitshow going on now where different states have radically different rules. Congress needs to fix it.
And that is a false premise as explained in the decision. Even RGB said it was false.

She is right. It should have worked through the states and lower courts.
Thanks for this! This is worth looking into.
