So we will see in the coming months and years if anything ultimately comes out of the FDA.

Yes, that is the question of whether or not the FDA can do anything at all right now seems to be a big one.

I mean, ultimately, abortion is going to end up back at the Supreme Court in some form or fashion.

We don't really know how much appetite the Supreme Court justices have for this issue.

But I think it's become pretty clear since Roe fell that there are so many differences in state laws around abortions.

There's so many disagreements around what states owe each other when it comes to enforcing abortion laws that the Supreme Court is probably going to have to weigh in at some point.

The thing, though, that I'm really keeping an eye on is what is the anti-abortion movement doing?

This is a movement that is incredibly motivated, right?

If you believe that abortion is the killing of an innocent baby, that's a belief that's probably going to keep you extremely committed.

Yeah.

This is a movement that spent five decades working to overturn Roe v. Wade.

They stacked state legislatures with Republicans.

They helped create the modern day conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

They are very powerful and they are very, very committed.

I think at this point it's pretty clear that the modern day anti-abortion movement is an undemocratic one because they believe something that is not popular with the majority of Americans.

It is a minority that is now trying to enforce its rule on the rest of the country.

And it seems like the best way for them to do that will likely lie through the nine unelected justices on the Supreme Court.

They're not going to stop.

There are going to be more court cases.

And this movement is going to try very hard to convince the Trump administration or whatever Republican administration comes next to enforce the Comstock Act and to enact that nationwide abortion ban.
