More than a week has passed since someone leaked the draft of a Supreme Court opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that would overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. If this draft were to become the official opinion of the Court, the issue would, after 50 long years, return to the states, where the American people, rather than nine unelected justices, would have the chance to determine their preferred abortion policies.

Oddly, in the wake of this bombshell leak, Democratic politicians and pro-abortion activists have wanted to discuss everything under the sun other than their preferred abortion policies.
