Aborting Roe Will Not Save the Dems in 2022

The panicking Democrats are tweaking the old "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" cliché, arguing that when the Supreme Court gives babies life, try to make that aid their campaigns. But "You won't let us kill kids!" may fly in Scat Francisco and other barren, childless blue hellholes, but as a campaign theme (along with such perennial favorites as "Stop being mean to criminals!" and "You are all racist!") it's not a winner. When families are trying to find $100 to fill up the old Dodge Caravan, "Republicans made it harder to abort babies in red states" loses to "Democrats aborted Keystone" every time.
It's clear that Roe v. Wade, even if it doesn't fall, will at least suffer its own partial judicial abortion. The recent Supreme Court arguments for and against the notion that somewhere in the Constitution, lurking beneath all those penumbras and emanations, exists a free-wheeling okay by the Founders to whack babies went poorly for the anti-baby side. Justice Sotomayor, the original Wise Latinx, warned the Court of the "stench" that would come from it holding that the Constitution does not declare open season on womb-dwellers; at least five justices and maybe six, depending Justice Robert's mood du jour, seem to prefer that scent to the stench of millions of little corpses.
What a grim and appalling subject abortion is. I don't like talking or writing about it, nor do you wish to read about it. But it must be addressed, and we conservatives propose the radical notion that it be addressed by the people through their legislators instead of by nine Ivy Leaguers in robes playing constitutional Mad Libs to manufacture not just a right, but an entire scheme to enable it, out of the text of a document that never even hints at the subject of abortion, much less mentions the word.
