The majority of this country - when polled - support the ACA and Roe - That includes GOP voters too

I think the extremists in the Senate have pissed off their own voters with this forced appointment.

And they put off helping their own voters to do so - by avoiding passing a stimulus payment package. I wont be surprised to see them pass something small before election day, but I don't think it be helpful to them...they have already done the damage.


I don't think that we are the only ones motivated to act now ...

If it were overturned, I do not think that it would turn out well for the right. It would sort of be "shit or get off the pot." Back in the early 90s before Clinton was elected president, I think that some Republicans were reinventing themselves as pro-choice due to a similar dynamic where it seemed much more real that abortion could be criminalized.

We are now facing a group of radical republicans who don't care about right or wrong or it it's good for the nation.

And so those advocating for it in a post-Roe environment would I think pay the price.
