The fight to end Roe v. Wade enters its endgame next week

Ian Millhiser, vox.com

The constitutional right to an abortion is almost certainly coming to an end — the only question is how long the Supreme Court’s new majority will take to kill it off. It’s not likely to be very long. On October 1, the Supreme Court will meet to decide whether to hear a case that could leave little, if any, of this right standing.

If they want to stop abortions, a second layer of protection against them would be to ban sex. Rather than prosecute pregnant women who might not even have had a choice, charge the men only. Avoids the tedious questions about whether it was “really a rape” — if they had sex, the man is to be blamed.
