There have been some conversations lately around these parts. Every woman I know who has had an abortion (4/7 of my close friends) was not thinking about “the sanctity of innocent, unborn human life” while handing over her insurance card. None considered it unborn human life, and all considered it to be a medical procedure. So there’s that. As for the value of a great legal mind… If you believe, as I suspect Alito does, that human life begins at conception, I can understand twisting yourself into a pretzel to find a legal argument to save those poor babies. But if you don’t t believe that, or you don’t think your religious beliefs should be controlling, this doesn’t seem like a legal analysis at all . It seems to be what it is…shoving a particular religious belief down the throats of (or up the *$&#) of half the population. I also don’t think you need to be a lawyer to understand that stripping a constitutional right from half the population is really an asshole move. And if you can’t figure out that leaving this to the states in this time in this place is likely even worse of an idea than it was before Roe, I’m deeply envious of the quality of your edibles. .
