Actually Roe v Wade said that a woman had a right to obtain an abortion, because a woman had a right to privacy regarding her medical care.
The Dobb's decision basically said that no right to privacy exists because it is not an enumerated right, conveniently ignoring the 9th amendment, therefore the right to an abortion does not exist. Meanwhile they, except for Clarence Thomas, claim that this doesn't apply to other Court decisions, based on privacy, because a 3rd party is not involved.
Just repeating what I have stated again and again. The problem is not that they didn't codify Roe at the federal level. The problem is they adopted a 50 year strategy of appeasing the Right by moving ever so slightly to the left of them and deriding anyone who thought that was a bad idea as "unrealistic".
Ok gotcha. IтАЩm getting closer to fighting fire with my fire. It may utterly fail but I feel (this is truly a feeling) that if democrats donтАЩt play hardball the republicans will steam roll them (basically argument for deterrence)

IтАЩm lost by TomтАЩs arguments. What is he recommending should have done? What does тАЬappeasingтАЭ the right mean functionally?
Me too
