According to Pew Research, “Nearly six-in-ten adults (57%) disapprove of the court’s sweeping decision [on Roe], including 43% who strongly disapprove. About four-in-ten (41%) approve of the court’s decision (25% strongly approve). Wow! A whopping 57 (5! 7!) percent! Um, yeah — no. Sorry, morons of America, but 57 percent is not really a strong condemnation of overturning 50 years of legal precedent and relegating women to second-class status. But! It is entirely consistent with what I long predicted: No one cares. I promised you that in the end, no one would care about killing Roe, and this survey bears that out. Abortion rights are not going to be a game-changer for the midterm elections. People have moved on. One would think if half the population was told they no longer had a right to control their own body that there would be daily protests in the streets, that half the population would be engaging in civil disobedience until America restored their full status as equal citizens, and that half the population would make it a daily mission to remind the other half what has been taken away. One would think! Instead, it is mostly crickets. What Roe decision? It is exactly as I predicted. Oh, well. Welcome to stupid America. I wonder how America will react when SCOTUS comes for your rights.
