In Response to: Supreme Court Justices’ Role
A proper change in Roe v. Wade would in my view have involved a modification of this old ruling, as Justice Ginsburg would have agreed, not a total abolition. And an angry one at that. It is unfortunate that the conservative justices emulate the anger of the president who appointed them in three cases and in the other two an anger built on something else. We see now two things. Roe v. Wade has been interpreted by progressives in an extreme way. And a near total ban on abortion in various states could drive many women to suicide or at least total despair. There is a middle ground and extremists on the Left as well as the Right bear a heavy burden here of doing the wrong thing for women and their families.
