Don’t care if it led to the GOP suffering in this election

overturning Roe was worth it, if for no other reason than preventing libs from getting away with reading the Constitution that way. A right to an abortion is simply not enshrined in the constitution

Excellent post.

But if there is a silver lining for Right-wingers for whom abortion is not a big deal, it's that Roe was genuinely terrible jurisprudence, and striking it down was the right thing to do for that reason. That it's had an undeniable electoral cost is unfortunate, but it still had to be done.

For those concerned with democracy, indeed, this is how it should be working: abortion law is now subject to the democratic, legislative process, as the ballot initiatives in many states are showing.
