The political dust is settling regarding the 2022 Roe v Wade reversal. Conservatives believe that the 1973 progressive SCOTUS decision usurped Congress with legislation from the bench and are pleased to have the federal government partially out of the abortion business since it’s not in our Constitution and this power is returned to the "several states."
Now most states have made their decisions, and the results are exactly what we would expect in a messy democratic republic: no consensus and our state tap-dancing through a bizarre jungle of ancient law, new law, and a successful ballot proposition.
I sadly accept Arizona’s democratic decision but there’s a federal funding issue still on the table: whether our federal income tax dollars must continue to fund Unplanned Parenthood abortions in Arizona.
So licking my wounds I soldier on, asking the Arizona federal legislators of both parties to defund it with the Big Beautiful Bill.
