I will tell you why I think why. Because it was unprincipled - an abuse of judicial power - judicial overreach - a manufacturing of one right out of thin air which trumps another, the another being a right with considerably more settled tradition as one which the states had a right to protect as they saw fit. And because it of course has poisoned the public square, poisoned the process of selecting and confirming judicial nominees, deflected us from fairly considering other important issues because we are imprisoned by the judicial overreach, and now are each emblazoned with a scarlet letter on our chest, one way or the other, and thus the decision, Roe v Wade, from a public policy standpoint, has proven a disaster, no matter what you view, or how you cut it. What is so horrible about thrashing this issue out at the ballot box?
What is so noble about the toxic penumbra of this abuse of judicial power, this pall, this traducing of the democratic spirit, and enervating of the American spirit? It's evil, period, in its practical effect. About that, this aging man can bear witness.
Since Roe, the States have lost more than I ever thought possible.
They tried to fix something they saw as broken.
One thing certain, if it is repealed, we will find out if it was indeed broken or not.
