I find the writers and the commentariat here at the Bulwark some of the most clear-eyed and thoughtful, but I would really really like to see a mea culpa from the anti-choicers. So many here are former Republicans and voted for politicians to get scotus to overturn Roe. Can anyone, anyone of you "pro-life" voters actually admit that, weak though it's reasoning may have been, that the basic premise of Roe (namely there is a sphere of private decisions upon which the government should not intrude) was basically correct? The Az SCOTUS just brought back an anti-abortion law from before Az was a state that will result in the same type of suffering that we are seeing in red states all over - girls forced to bear their rapist's children, women told to bleed out in hospital parking lots until sick enough to treat, women forced to carry babies that will not survive, women whose septicemia may mean they can never be pregnant again. Dobbs has been an unmitigated disaster for women and girls in this country, as the feminists always knew it would be. All you anti-abortion voters, are you proud of the misery and pain and heartache you've unleashed??
