Maybe I'm less shocked because I remember the 1967 Abortion Act going through. I was a child and didn't understand the significance but I knew it was a big deal and I also knew women in Ireland and lots of other countries didn't have this right. I think maybe because I remember life before it and some of the campaigning, I feel more positive about the chances of winning again.
But what I do feel negative about is the idea that there's any point in trusting any political party with this. Everyone knew the Republicans would do this as soon as they got the chance. Everyone. They never made a secret of it. And yet - and I don't follow US politics that closely so correct me If I'm wrong - I've read that Obama had promised to codify (I think that's the right word?) Roe Vs Wade at a federal level, and didn't. I've read that Hillary Clinton chose an anti abortionist as a running mate. I've read that Biden could have codified the law and didn't.
Is any of this correct? If it is, the entire Democratic Party should be on their knees to women right now.
