Good analysis Erik! As a Christian who has been holding on the the Republican Party by a thread because of abortion legislation, this feels like a win for, well, humanity.
However, I also understand the arguments over who this will hurt the most. Iām pro-life from womb to tomb, and I will vote for whichever party helps those whose lives will be most affected by this change.
I'm pretty much in agreement with you on most of your points, Erik, and Greenwald was very much on point about this NOT being legislation from the bench, but actually turning over a decision that WAS.
I feel the way you do as well about what might have happened had we allowed things to progress over time the way they have with other social issues. The original Roe vs. Wade decision was Unconstitutional and sending the question back to the states is the way to go to remain Constitutional.
Hearts and Minds over time, not strident polarization, and protection of the rights of both majority and minority, the way the Constitution was designed.
GG is, as usual, filled to eyeballs with BS. Abortion is a human right. You cannot leave human rights up to majority rule. Otherwise, the exact same voters who would ban women from accessing health care would keep black people from voting. Vaginas are more regulated than guns. We live in a sick country and this may be the beginning of the end of the American experiment. Fascism came to this country holding an upside down Bible in one hand and hugging a flag (not sure which) in the other.
Never forget. We lead the first world in infant and maternal mortality. We are almost alone in having no mandated paid maternal/paternal leave. We have no universal prenatal care nor subsidized child care. We hate women and we hate babies. This is about control. And nothing more.

I think this might be one of your big ones. Bravo!
