(cont'd from yesterday's post)
If you believe that women have a right to abortion and are upset with SCOTUS, here's a thought experiment for you.
Suppose for a moment that the justices who overturned Roe v. Wade really believed it was the right decision. What price did they pay to follow their hearts? A big one. Dr. Robert P. George of Princeton University explains the consequences:
"Please take a moment to appreciate the courage of the justices who today overturned Roe v. Wade. In doing what they did, they took their lives into their hands. Each knew that for the rest of his or her life he or she will have a target on his or her back.
"They and their families have witnessed the ugly scenes in front of their homes. They've heard the abusive chants. They know that an armed man came to the home of Justice Kavanaugh intending to murder him.
"Life for the justices will never return to normal. There is no going back. The campaign of intimidation against them failed, but they will never again be safe. They know that. They knew it when they decided the case and authorized the release of the decision. It took guts."
