I am old enough to remember and experience the years previous to Roe v. Wade. It is something that I rarely discuss because my opinion, like many others, is rooted in a value system that is not subject to change.
If Alito intends to overturn Roe v. Wade, I will grieve for those that return to the back alley butchers. Abortion has existed for hundreds of years and it will continue, whether legal or not. Shall we sharpen up the coat hangers for the desparate?
Alito's position on Executive Powers has far greater consequences to the survival of our Republic. A president without checks or balances becomes a dictatorship.
