Column: Who may kill Roe vs. Wade? Mostly justices named by a president who lost the popular vote

LA Times  

Jessica Golibar, center, cries as demonstrators gather in front of the Supreme Court to protest an anticipated decision overturning the legal right to abortion. By the narrowest of margins, five justices appear ready to overlook nearly 50 years of precedent and reverse the court’s landmark Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide — a ruling, polls have consistently shown, favored by a majority of Americans. “And this issue may do that better than anything else we could have or will have.” When liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died just a few weeks before the November 2020 election, it seemed control of the Supreme Court would be central to the fight for the country’s future. Politics News Analysis: Biden, a reluctant culture warrior, may see court’s abortion ruling define his presidency President Biden, averse to the culture wars and elected in part on a promise to ease political divisions, may see his presidency defined by the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade — a historic ruling with huge political and practical implications. More broadly, Matthews suggested, the anticipated decision could give Democrats a new and better framework for their uphill fight this difficult election season, turning the midterms from a referendum on Biden and his travails into a message that Republicans “want to take the country back to where whites were more equal than blacks, we banned books, women couldn’t get abortions or birth control, and gays couldn’t get married or be parents.” At least Democrats can try.
