Defund pp for a year is as fake and illusory a victory as Dobbs. Abortive parents are going to abort no matter what, as the downstream costs of a child are much greater than the cost of an abortion.

1. I detail in the piece why the defunding for a year is not the victory it seems.

2. I think Dobbs was actually a bigger victory than most think rather than the other way around.

3. I agree with you on the costs 100%, which is why I helped draft this: https://postroefuture.com/

By allowing states to decide abortion, Dobbs stripped the winds of inalienable from the sails of created equal.

Since when was it ever acceptable to argue states rights to determine slavery? Have we learned nothing from history?

Dobbs could have been decided by abolishing abortion, which is slavery's twin. The original Roe Court even acknowledged that its decision would wither in the face of a person hood argument.

It is more than just now having to fight on fifty fronts; the real problem is that now we no longer have the Declaration as our partner, especially in the leadup to Declaration 250!
