In retrospect, the fall of Roe v. Wade comes with not just anger but also sadness. It didn’t have to be this way. It could have gone differently. We need to consider why to plan how best to change things again.

Nor can we complain about the unfairness of this development. Roe was a decision grounded in politics, and that was OK. The bet we liberals made, however, was that our national politics would continue to evolve in the same direction. They haven’t, so Roe is gone.

I agree with everything you say (as would Thomas Jefferson) except the part about libs forgetting the working man. That is a conservative plot invention is it not? Only libs have ever designed legislation that truly serves the workers!
