meanwrightFun watching extremists call other people extremists this week.
In response to the likely-upcoming ruling that will say that there is not a constitutional right to abortion, idiots are saying that it is something like it will make women undergo "government-mandated pregnancy." Which is strange, since abortion access will not change in thirty-seven states, and in the thirteen states that have laws on the books that will outlaw abortion none of them seem to have legislated the conscription of fertile women into government-run brothels for the purposes of repopulating the countryside.
For now, of course.
It's strange that they're acting up. They knew this was coming, the court has been turning more and more into a committee of talmudic judges rather than the Anglican bishops of fifty years ago. And Roe v. Wade has been acknowldged to be bad law for all fifty of those years. As long as there were enough high priests to overrule the scholars, Roe would stand. The very fact that this ruling has been batted around in the courts for so long, including for decades where it was certain that it wouldn't be overturned, indicated that it was an unstable position. And they didn't do anything to help themselves in the meantime.
Now, rather than just demonizing people, maybe people who care will have to talk to each other. But, seeing as everyone gets the story wrong most of the time, I doubt it.
Still, will the the 13 bans survive? Will more states restrict abortion? Will Texans travel to Juarez to pop their buns and scrape out their zombie rabbits, a la the trip to TJ in "The Abortion: A Historical Romance 1966?"

Also, Canadians are Scary. Entrepaneurial YouTube Marxists still freak me out. That's what I get for listening to a Canadian analyze American TV accents.
Damn! It gets worse as it goes on. I'm not letting YouTube run while I grade anymore.
