Trump's so-called moderate abortion position is pure horseshit, given he promised the religious right that he would appoint their kind to the US Supreme Court and the rest of the Federal Judiciary, and his SCOTUS appointees all voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. I heard that Justice Alito wrote in his opinion that there was no history in early America of women being allowed to have abortion. If Justice Alito wrote that, or if he didn't write it, Ben Franklin wrote in his popular book, The Instructor, about herbs made by Mother Nature and/or God, which women commonly used to cause them to miscarry. Apparently it was common practice back then, and had been common practice since antiquity, for women to use Nature's herbs to both prevent and end pregnancy. The Declaration of Independence acknowledges certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Among which leaves the door open to other unalienable rights. Why women, President Biden, the US Department of Justice, the ACLU, etc., have filed a Declaratory Judgment action in the US District Court in Washington D.C., where Roe v. Wade was overturned by religious freaks on the US Supreme Court, baffles this 81-year-old former practicing attorney, who clerked for a US District Judge in Birmingham, Alabama. If Amendment 1 prohibits Congress from passing a law that establishes religion, how can the US Supreme Court make a law that makes religious freaks happy?
