‘Bestowed on the Court by the Court’

This is why we are winning.

Writing in the New York Times, Gail Collins asserts — she does not argue — that the fight over Roe and abortion “is basically about punishing women who want to have sex for pleasure.” She cites no evidence for this claim at all — because she writes for the most intellectually lazy, complacent, and self-satisfied opinion page in the Anglophone world, she doesn’t have to. The closest she comes is a quotation about “self-control” from Anthony Comstock, who died 58 years before Roe was decided.
