Today, in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down its 1973 decision, Roe vs. Wade. The court ultimately decided that the “Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
An excellent statement. It touches on aspects I've thought about also. (The following are my words not my attempt to paraphrase you Mr Fahey.) I revile the ideology by which one sector of humans arrogates to itself the right to declare that another sector of humans is killable; I understand however that not ideology but poverty or abandonment or ostracism or stigmatization or fear is the cause of most abortions; I've built my politics in reaction to the dehumanizing nature of capitalism. What this ruling participates in is none of that, but the agenda of disintegrating the US into two countries. David French often points out that the number of abortions have been in decline for decades anyway and were lately at historic lows, even with Roe v. Wade in place.
