It definitely seems as though SCOTUS is going to outlaw one of the two major abortion pills — responsible for most abortions — this Friday. This would be horrible politics for Republicans, but, lulz, they don’t care. Such a decision by SCOTUS late on a Friday would be yet another H-bomb dropped on the American political system.
But, again, Republicans just don’t give a shit.
Because of the rot in our politics, Republicans know that they’re ascendant and they’re going to get what they want soon enough: a total ban on not just abortion, but any form of birth control.
And when that happens?
Because abortion rights are at their heart an economic issue, the continued restriction of such rights would be very, very corrosive and would increase how Red and Blue states are receding from each other at an alarming rate.
But here we are — all the momentum is with the most extreme elements of the Republican Party. So, lulz, either we have some sort of National Divorce or we turn into an autocracy. Who knows which choice we’ll make.
