plenty of complex and thorny moral issues, not just abortion, many others. and it has worked well and that s why this has alwaysst been a stable country because we get to rule ourselves, roe versus wade took that right away in a single nineteen seventy three decision ,the high court banned democracy from the debate over abortion. justices prohibited the states from enactinggro abortion restrictions that their own citizens strongly preferredir o that meant that going forward alabama would be required to have the same abortional laws as massachusetts. now some people love this . of course people of massachusetts looked at people in alabama hatede, but there was nothing anybody could do about it because supreme court had cut voters out of the equationn and as a result of that , the issue of abortion was never resolved. things are not resolved by fiat. they re only resolved by consent. that s a core idea in democracyy and it s true . so as a result of this short
decision from nineteen seventy three. the very same peoplee who consider the bill of rightsl a racist relic quickly dismissed out of hand those same people quickly become emotional as they describe the sublime bec beauty of roe versus wade yesterday when democratic officeholder described the roe decision as quote sacred. and it s not an overstatement for many democratsan it is sacred.ea they will tell youn and they mean itt that this country cannot continue without roe, without roe darkness willme america revert to slavery and cannibalism and other varieties of hobbesian miseryni so gruesome they re best left on described between a bright new tomorrow and the of the handmaid s tale stands only roe v.ta wade. they re telling you that on channels right now across the spectrum s it s all pretty bewildering if you consider what roe v. y wade actually is and that is true no matter, what you think of abortion itself, whether you re strongly for legal abortion, the decision as a decision roe
president of the united states and you get the presidencyah back . yeah, it s like overturning an election. i mean, you listen to something like that and there are like nine points you couldou make in response. then you have to to ask either the person saying that is so stupid that he doesn t understand what he s saying ors he s willing to say absolutely anything to stop the other side. and that s of course what you re watching these people aren t stupid. they reth just dishonest in the thread. the consistent note c in all ofh these clips ise that none of the people yammering about this draft opinion writtenth by sam alito have actually read it. and you know that becauset they don t even attempt to t respond to the legal arguments because legal arguments are immaterial just as they were when the seven justicess in nineteen seventy three produced roe v. wade, they didn t even consider really what the constitution had to sayid because they didn t care. that s why it s anat embarrassis
