I seriously wanted to know. Did those of you who voted for Youngkin really think he wouldn't do it? I truly, genuinely, want to know.

This is what I don’t get…. Are people seriously upset with a 15 or 20 week ban, with exceptions? To me this sounds like just the kind of compromise most people would agree with. 6 week bans- I get the objection because you may not even know you are pregnant. But is what you seriously want is for people to be free to abort, for any reason at all, at any time during pregnancy? That is actually the extreme position here, not Youngkin’s. [/quote]

Because they won't stop at 15 weeks, dumb-dumb. [/quote]

Then they should have not taken this case to the Supreme Court.  Roberts was willing to stop at 15 weeks and not rule on Roe.  Both sides in the case asked for a ruling on Roe.

Other issues get litigated with more tact.  New York City had a different gun law.  When they saw they might lose, they repealed the law rather than risk getting a bad ruling on guns.  They tried the same with COVID restrictions, but the Supreme Court wouldn't let them get away with it there.
They also settled an affirmative action case with firefighters than risk getting a bad ruling from the Supreme Court.
