The article is about a pattern where laws change in a very short span, and abortion fits that pattern. The title is just a misnomer. It should be called "How Fast America's Lawmakers/Supreme Courts change their mind.

Awesome post. I don't usually expect to see this kind of philosophical stuff on HN. I think there's a lot of truth in what you say here. It just like, people in denial about who they are all the time. Reminds me of Emerson "E

A few years ago I discovered the McDonald's value menu. It was a great option on days when I was too busy to sit down for a meal--just really fast, cheap, and decent enough quality. I rarely see the value meal mentioned in articles abo
