Roe V. Wasted
“The day that remade America was decades in the making.
The Supreme Court’s overturning of a woman’s right to an abortion on Friday was a legal, political and societal thunderbolt that merits the overused term “historic” because it will change life in multiple ways, many still unknown.
But while shocking, especially since it goes against majority public opinion on the issue, it was not a surprise. The ruling was the result of a staggeringly successful generational quest by the conservative movement at all political levels, from grassroots social and religious activists through the founding leaders of a right-wing legal establishment to successive Republican presidents.”
The Supreme Court arrived at a decision that was decades in the making and was very predictable considering the arch conservative bent of this Court. Nevertheless, the decision was stunning when actually put on the books and will have far reaching consequences that could be decades to come to full fruition. Both sides of the bitterly divided nation are gearing up for the inevitable rapturous battles over the next months and years which will shape the future of politics in America.
