what killed the Supreme Court as an American institution was wading in on the issue in the first place.

Until Roe it was properly in the hands of the states. If they want to blame someone, blame Blackmun, Brennan, Douglas, Stewart, Marshall, Burger and Powell.

Oh and the states did such an outstanding job. Up until the early 60’s it was illegal in many states to sell or advertise contraceptives. And only married women could get contraception such as it was at the time. So yeah lets leave it up to a bunch of old pharts in state legislatures to come up with laws that are fair to everyone. We know how well that has worked in the past on all kinds of issues...think jim crow.

Most Americans when asked don’t want the law overturned. They may not agree with it personally but they are astute enough to realize that they shouldn’t be dictating what another persons choice should be.

If Roe goes down then what other issues will the vocal minority decide needs to be changed?? Mandatory church attendance, separate but equal education facilities for girls and boys, banning of any birth control, women bared from various jobs, and the possibilities are endless.

So be real careful what you ask for...it could cause unintended consequences for everyone.
