Can the left-wing hysteria over the Supreme Court’s leaked opinion on abortion and Roe v. Wade get any more ridiculous?
The hysteria can’t hide the fact that the procedure stops a beating heart Written by: Can the left-wing hysteria over the Supreme Court’s leaked opinion on abortion get any more ridiculous? Corporate media have claimed that the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade marks only the beginning of a slew of conservative judicial decisions that will ban everything from sodomy to birth control. « Next they’ll go after gay marriage and maybe Brown v.

Corporate media have claimed that the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade marks only the beginning of a slew of conservative judicial decisions that will ban everything from sodomy to birth control. “Next they’ll go after gay marriage and maybe Brown v. Board of Education,” Joy Behar postulated on The View. “They want to send us back to the dark ages,” 85-year-old woman Eleanor Oliver, who procured an illegal abortion in Washington, D.C. in the 1950s, told a Washington Post columnist. The justices who have reportedly endorsed the draft opinion have been called “barbarous and cruel.” The prospective ruling has been accused of racism. It has been attacked on economic grounds because it will allegedly make poor states poorer. And… get ready for it… it has been labeled fascist because, well, do we even need a reason? Unfettered access to abortion has become the sine qua non of acceptable dogma on the left. To restrict abortion in any sense has become so unthinkable that any attempts are viewed as nothing less than a Handmaid’s Tale dystopia. Prohibit abortion before fifteen weeks (as the current Mississippi law before the Court does), and it might as well be Kristallnacht all over again. It’s time for everyone to take a deep breath. Even if the drafted court opinion overturns Roe, this would only return the abortion debate to the states. Indeed, not even half the states have abortion bans on the books that would take effect after a potential overturning of Roe. And even for those states that would outlaw a significant percentage of abortions, many could still legally occur, whether they be early in a pregnancy or in the case of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk.
