I understand the intense feellings on either side of this issue,

but if the news are telling you that Roe v Wade was settled law or that it would stand forever they are lying to you

Roe had a many rather large weaknesses, & its incredible it lasted as long as it did

Roe v Wade was always fragile,

Ginsburg said in a 1992 lecture that “doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped, as experience teaches, may prove unstable”

isn't a rightwing talking point either,

many lefty outlets & journos pointed this out over the years, its a common belief taught in law school & discussed in congress & legislatures across the country

just not something they like to talk about openly

for example:
the Trimester Rule was broken,
the viability standard broken

Casey & other rulings tried to prop Roe up, but in the end they all failed, Roe just wasn't very strong law

& what came out from Roe,

a nation more politicized & angry at each other than since the US Civil War?

a politicized Supreme Court not only deforming our judiciary but our politics?

CJ Rehnquist warned making the court subject to pop opinion was dangerous:

“Once the Court starts looking to the currents of public opinion regarding a particular judgment, it enters a truly bottomless pit from which there is simply no extracting itself”

for disability reasons I'm biased,

However, beyond that, I'm glad Roe is gone cuz it was a bad decision that not only hurt our institutions but made us hate each other

Now must be settled by the people
instead of 9 guys in robes

I completely understand why folks are very upset about Roe being overturned,

I get why others celebrate it,

but for me, I hope this is a step towards a healthier politics & a more honest conversation
