They Are Not Just

 The Supreme Court has become completely political. I have no faith in it at all.

I didn't have any faith even before the most recent abortion case. My public sector union watched as this court (minus two of the horrors sitting on it now) overturned a case regarding collective bargaining.

Now, Trump supporters are going to get their fondest wish: an end to safe and legal abortions for women in states with scant health care.

During the arguments, Amy Coney Barrett said that adoption is easier now than it used to be. How can someone who has birthed children not see that every pregnancy takes a toll on the body? Maybe I'm assuming she's human. I could be wrong.

But watch: This same court will hand down a dozen pro-gun decisions. After all, you've got a right to life until you're born. Then it's a crapshoot.

I do not see how the U.S. Supreme Court can rebound from its partisan tilt. The way this was achieved is nefarious, and it cannot be undone.

When I started this blog, I belittled and pooh-poohed the Christian radicals who were making so much self-righteous noise. But they have achieved their goal. By this summer, half of the women in America will be unable to control their own bodies.

My friends, the radical "prayer warriors" have been praying over this for 50 years. Will this be a lasting victory for them, or will the consequences plow them under? I hope they inherit the wind.

This is why it matters who wins elections and gets to appoint Supreme Court judges.

SCOTUS and the Rethugs care about a fetus, but not about actual babies or children.

The problem is Democrats and their attitude toward "our friends across the isle." Republicans play hard ball while Democrats have a discussion about what game they should play in order not to be inconsiderate of anyone else's choice.

I don't understand the thinking behind these decisions. Does anyone think abortions' will quit happening? No, they will not. Just more women will suffer needlessly or gods forbid, die in the process of an illegal procedure.
