Dave Portnoy and the ‘Bro-Choice’ Crisis

Last week, Dave Portnoy, founder of the Barstool Sports blog, released an “emergency press conference” on Twitter in response to the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. He lamented that without guaranteed abortion access, the country is “going backwards.” He said he sees no other choice but “to vote for a moron like Biden because the Right is gonna put Supreme Court people in who are just ruining this country, taking basic rights away.”

I’ll leave it to one of my colleagues to settle the question whether Portnoy represents the “future of the conservative movement” (as has been suggested). What’s of more immediate interest is that the overturning of Roe could facilitate something of a crisis for the bro-choice movement.
