Lord Saletan Snivels

...By counseling pre-emptive surrender in the battle for abortion rights. The hard-right opponents of abortion are the ones who have given no quarter in this battle, yet Saletan lays the burden of compromise at the feet of women who have endured a decades-long assault on the right to control their own bodies. Enough of these pussified (sorry, ladies) so-called "sensible liberals"! The right didn't get where they are today by a strategy of retreat and appeasement. It's fucking war, you assholes! So pick up your guns and fight or stay home and shut up!

Life After Roe

Politically, legally and technologically the 33-year-old court decision is increasingly obsolete as a framework for managing decisions about reproduction. But only the abortion rights movement can lead the way beyond it. The anti-abortion groups can't launch the post-Roe era, because they are determined to abolish its guarantee of individual autonomy, and the public won't stand for that. It must be up to reproductive rights supporters to give the public what it wants: abortion reduction within a framework of autonomy.
