couching it? yes and no. look, let s be grateful that all of the fancy law professors and susan collinses and people who told us what these folks really meant when they said roe was precedent, they meant that, okay, let s put that aside, that artifice is gone. the artifice i worry about, and you played that brett kavanaugh clip, is the artifice of saying, we re going to pretend to be neutral, we re not going to ban abortion, said kavanaugh, we re just going to let states decide. we saw that same artifice, amy coney barrett kept insisting that because there are safe haven laws that allow you to more readily give your child up for adoption, it s not a problem for women to be forced to carry to term because they can just give their babies up. so i think for me, the artifice of we re being neutral, we re
