A few somewhat pithy comments, but there's something in them, I think.

First: If the court says that "the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives", why don't we cut out the elected representatives part, and you know, let people regulate their own abortions?

Second: There are about 400,000 kids in foster care in the US right now. If just 1% of people who call themselves pro-life were to adopt one of them, all of them would be in loving homes. So why aren't they?

Looks a lot like TPTB, RW fundies aka American Taliban, have moved on some from just POC. When the white ones get old enough, they can prey on their kid(s) perhaps larger but not wealthy-enough economic status in a great many other ways.

I would not assume the homes they would be in are loving, or that they were taken out of homes that weren't.

that's not IMHO a very good environment.
