Alas, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
50 years after Roe v. Wade, we’re closer than ever to a virtual ban in many states. Not because of protests or media, but smart lawyers designing hurdles legislators can use that pass court muster.
For 50 years, most progressive victories have been won in the courts, and not the legislature. Given the Electoral College and where our courts are, they’re not got going to be there for the progressive side for at least a generation now.
So whatever anyone’s hangup is for voting in November (should we get that opportunity), remember - it’s a choice for what court your kids will live under. Who do you want selecting RBG’s successor?
