“It’s conventional wisdom to say that the court’s decision in Roe caused the polarization over abortion,” said Reva Siegel, a law professor at Yale. “But the court did not cause that polarization. It was the Republican Party’s quest for voters — political party competition — that savaged Roe. Once the attack on Roe was underway, the defense needed to be full tilt in politics as well as in the courts — and in all political arenas, state, local and federal. Because over time the attack on Roe has become more than an attack on abortion; it has become an attack on democracy.”

At this point, I’m in favor of removing democracy when we get in charge. All hail authoritarianism.
I'll settle for only property owners get to vote. And I don't even own property. Too many American's are obsessed with making their voice heard. I don't care if I personally can't vote as long as we take out the majority of idiot voters.
