Roe v. Wade is gone.

[Angrboda]

I know this is going to be a bit of an unpopular take here, but there's a part of me that's glad that RvW got overturned.

I mean, yeah, absolutely, I support a women's right to choose and I'm pro-choice and everything but.... democrats FINALLY have an issue that is a proven winner for them to use in elections.  They finally have the base riled up.  And they're finally done pretending that republicans are going to play fair.  

With all the stunts Moscow Mitch has played with filibuster and judge appointments, voter suppression, and regular threats of government shutdowns, the GOP has pretty much gotten everything they want since 2003 or so.  This is despite the fact that they haven't won the popular vote in a presidential election since 2004 (and that was only with extreme rally-around-the-flag post 9/11).  Before that?  They won the popular vote in 1988.  

So, maybe now that democrats can win a few more elections and maybe now that they've realized republicans refuse to play fair, I can only hope they'll do something about their stunts.  As much as I'm pro-choice, I'm willing to sacrifice roe v wade for a few years if it means we can reign in a republican party that is foaming at the mouth.

I'm not sure about that. I think part of the principles which liberals embrace is a dedication to fairness, even in the face of unfairness. It's because that's the world we want to live in. We'd rather live in a world where people are fair and kind and do the right thing, so we don't want to help the world become otherwise by not being fair and kind ourselves. Even if it leaves us vulnerable. Our vulnerability is the price we pay to live in a better world.
