I always get a big chuckle out of these Dems who quote how
slavery used to be the law of the land, but new laws changed America for the better; how women couldn't vote, but new laws changed America for the better; how civil rights weren't granted to African-Americans, but new laws changed America for the better--

BUT!!!!

Roe can't be changed because it is WRITTEN IN STONE!!! IT'S SETTLED LAW!!! IT'S A CASE OF STARE DECISIS!!!

Those Liberal Demmies, what cut-ups they are (literally, if you ask a child who's been aborted).
