LTE: Supreme Court whistleblower alterted nation to crisis
First of all, Roe v. Wade didnt endorse abortion, it passed responsibility for regulating abortions covered by a womans constitutional right to privacy to the states. The courts new plan reveals what has been called a Talibanesque attack on womens rights.
After the leak went public, Justice Clarence Thomas said, Governmental institutions shouldnt be bullied. The source has been called a leaker, a bad apple, and his or her action absolutely appalling. But what if it is a governmental institution that is doing the bullying? What if a planned action of the Supreme Court would be more divisive and damaging to the nation than unauthorized exposure of it to the light of day? Would that change the narrative?
Thomas reaction joined with the politically polarized courts effort to put a positive spin on its unpopular opposition to Roe v. Wade. The courts home-court position as the nations final arbiter of law lets it push its partisan positions while elsewhere, public office holders caught similarly abusing the publics trust would be charged with malfeasance.
The leak revealed a court conspiring to misuse its honored position in law to subvert existing law, a law of the land, and the will of a supermajority of citizens. The courts conservatives had designed a combination anti-abortion law and Trojan horse to open the door to the divisive conservative Christian agenda. They were caught at it, thanks to a courageous whistleblower.

If the government controls a womans uterus she is not free. Im not even sure she could be considered a second class citizen since she doesnt have control of her own body.
