america right now, asked people if they like abortion or don t like abortion, it s a much closer split. if you ask people, the only important question and that s, do you believe abortion should be criminalized, not even close. the court is not, what the court seems to be doing is not in line with american sentiment. that s absolutely right. i think that s one of the questions, sort of justice sotomayor s question because not only is roe v. wade popular but well known. but the fate of abortion rights, everyone is paying attention and not just that the court would be overruling roe but overruling roe instantaneously, which sotomayor s point. no real build-up and a case that didn t require supreme court intervention. no split in the lower courts on this. there was no urgency that the court resolved this.
