Link To “Twin Republican strategies brought the antiabortion movement to the cusp of victory in the Supreme Court” From The Washington Post

In this post, I link to The Washington Post‘s Twin Republican strategies brought the antiabortion movement to the cusp of victory in the Supreme Court, December 4, 2021 at 5:47 p.m. EST. Here is the Intro:

The Supreme Court’s oral arguments over the future of abortion restrictions put into sharp relief the twin forces that appear to have brought the high court to the edge of either overturning or dramatically curtailing the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which gave women nationwide a right to most abortions.

Decades of political organizing by abortion opponents have transformed the Republican Party into a force for remaking courts, and a separate revolution in law schools has created the intellectual foundation to make it possible.

The political fruits of those efforts were on display Wednesday in the form of a clear conservative majority on the court, including three appointments by President Donald Trump. But the argument made to the justices by Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart was tailored to appeal not to politics but a legal revolution that prized the original intent of the nation’s founders.
