Commentary
The Democrats clearly think that the leaked draft of a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health overturning Roe v. Wade on abortion matters has miraculously delivered them again as they were by the COVID-19 crisis two years ago after the failure of the Trump–Russia collusion fraud and the Ukraine telephone-call impeachment fiasco.
That they’re desperate for another such miracle is understandable, and that they would imagine that it might have arrived is also understandable given that they’re involuntarily climbing the electoral gallows. But this decision, if confirmed, won’t save them.
Roe v. Wade was a poor judgment and in fact did an injustice to the pro-choice case. It found that the issue is a woman’s privacy and her right to determine what happens to and within her body. The real issue is when the unborn attain the rights of people. The answer to that question may plausibly be argued as any time from conception to delivery at end of term, but that’s the issue. Unless it’s a case of non-consensual sex, the primacy of a woman’s absolute right to determine what happens to and within her own body is mitigated by her assent to an act that can lead to conception.
