I've seen say RBG wanted abortion left up to states and gave a speech on this. I looked it up and found, once again, the anti choice folks are cherry picking this.
Time Magazine article in 2018:
When Sen. Hank Brown (R-CO) asked about her remarks during her confirmation hearing, she clarified her stance: Abortion prohibition by the State, however, controls women and denies them full autonomy and full equality with men. That was the idea I tried to express in the lecture to which you referred.
Ginsburg said that she believed it would have been easier for the public to understand why the Constitution protected abortion rights if the matter had been framed as one of equal protection rather than privacy. And in fact, there was a specific case she had in mind as one that should have driven the national conversation, instead of letting Roe carry that weight.
Re the use of Instagram for Amber Alerts
I'm very divided by this announcement today. Of course, we all want kidnapped and missing children found asap. But the use of my personal social media account by the government without my permission is very troubling. A fascist regime would do much harm with this power. Is no one questioning g this?
