Abortion… It’s a topic that no one wants to talk about at the dinner table. But will it be the issue that finally kills the filibuster? Oh boy, let’s find out!
For now, the abortion battle is being waged in the courts. Judges across the country have been busy issuing rulings on mifepristone, the drug used in most of the country’s abortions. And don’t worry, we’re sure the Supreme Court will jump in and fix everything… eventually.
But let’s face it, when it comes to abortion policy, court decisions are only going to get us so far. We need legislators to step up and pass some laws! Sure, judges can interpret the law and make some pretty aggressive rulings. But they can’t exactly write new laws… only nerdy lawmakers can do that.
Speaking of laws, Congress could avoid all this legal nonsense by creating a new law that clearly spells out whether mifepristone – and other medication abortions – should be accessible to women or not. But, let’s be real, we all know they would just end up arguing about it more and fighting in court. Duh!
Now, let’s fast forward all the way to 2025. Who will be ruling the roost then? Democrats? Republicans? Aliens? Who knows! But what we do know is that whoever is in charge of the White House and both chambers of Congress, they’re going to feel pressure to create some meaningful abortion policy. And based on how things are going now, it’s going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight!
So there you have it, folks. The abortion issue won’t be going away any time soon. But hey, we can always look on the bright side… at least it makes for some interesting headlines!
