"Justice Douglas, you must remember one thing. At the constitutional level where we work, ninety percent of any decision is emotional. The rational of part of us supplies the reasons for supporting our predilections"

Advice given to Justice Douglas by the Chief Justice Charles Evan Hughes:
"Hughes made a statement to me which at the time was shattering but which over the years turned out to be true".

It is clear, R. v. W. is doomed and the consequences of it's repeal will impact generations of women:
- to bear and raise a child whose father was her rapist, or
- to bear a child from incest;
- to bear a child determined to have Birth Defects and Congenital Anomalies
It is also clear that the Trump Administration seeks to repeal the entire ACA, including in the court filing a preexisting condition, leaving a family to pay for a lifetime when the fetus is determined by Amniocentesis or other prenatal tests shows will require a life-long need for medical treatments and medication.
Since the child born with these pre existing conditions only insurance companies will benefit.
Your assumption that RvWade will be overturned seems like panic mongering. Far too many conservative judges, show undue respect to lefty precedent.
This ^^^ is a dumb comment. The R Party has opposed and run on the repeal of R v. W and the ACA. The GOP is cunning and worked hard to pack the Federal Courts with judges and justices willing to support their agenda.
An agenda which goes beyond their opposition for civil rights, human rights, equal rights and equal opportunities for all, including women, people of color, the LGBTQ community and immigrants.
An agenda which which supports Voodoo Economics, now a third effort by Trump&Co. to convince the voter that the tax cuts to the top earners and major corporations will trickle down to Main Street, the middle class and the working poor.
