Telling people to “relax, the battle’s been won against conservativism” is crazy.
First, the current SCOTUS is not as deferential to precedent as he would have us believe.
Second, as a result, while it might not directly overturn Roe, it might chip away more than it has. Look at what it did to anti-discrimination progress with the Goodyear case.
Third, it ignores that the current government, even though this was not part of original conservativism, HAS chipped away at civil liberties.
Fourth, many losers keep fighting long after it’s clear they’ve lost.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
