A Future Attack?

In recent weeks, a number of conservative, so-called red states have passed anti-abortion laws that severely restrict or even outright totally ban the procedure which has been constitutionally protected for nearly a half century.

These are obvious attempts to get an abortion case challenging Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court in the near future. The hope on the part of the anti-abortion faction is that Donald Trump's most recent Supreme Court nominee and now sitting justice Brett Kavenaugh will be the critical fifth vote to overturn Roe.

This undertaking has caused me to wonder in recent days if the ultra-conservative forces behind this frontal attack on the legality of abortion will, if successful, next cause the far right to attempt a strike on LGBT rights by overturning the case recognizing that same-sex partners have the right to marry.

After all, were is it written that Roe v. Wade is their only target?

Roe may be overturned because of Trump's nominee, notwithstanding that until not too long ago the President was visibly and vocally pro-choice. The fact that he would so cavalierly toss his own beliefs on the scrapheap in order to curry favor with conservatives shows what a deeply flawed and immoral person he really is.
