1. Threatening and intimidating based on decisions you don't like is not a left wing idea
2. If it is reprehensible, and the majority of the country clearly agrees, but it's happening anyway, what do you think should be done to stop it?
3. The point of Cato's post is that a decision that ought to be made in private is now subject to unreasonable levels of scrutiny, similar to the decision around having an abortion. The SC being upset about their privacy in decision making as it intrudes on the medical privacy and decision making of countless individuals is ironic.
1) yes it's true the left doesn't have a patent on it, but it has become their biggest weapon, and it unquestionably has been hijacked far more than the left than the right. I don't think this is so much an ideology concept rather a reflection of the political demographics (ie young people are far more vocal and or violent)
2) I think from a procedural standpoint the standpoint what the Supreme Court did wasn't unreasonable. From a bottom line outcome its horrendous. I think realistically abortion should've been addressed with some kind of amendment over the past 50 years as RVW was really a judicial activism stop-gap. But it was taken for granted and ignored. At this point I think the best solution would be for the left to push some kind of bandaid delaying the implementation of this chang due it being a massive change, while building public support for an amendment legalizing abortion nationally. How feasible is this idk, but I do think you'll see a new support for the left from moderates because this is pretty freaking massive
3) the Supreme Courts ruling, while semantics, was more about the interpretation of the constitution than the legalization of abortion. Sure it's highly polarized because all the guys voting for it are likely bibliophile Republicans, but I do think the fundamental issue here is Federalism and or the constitution rather than "Should abortion be legal". And if you read Alitos opinion he does state as much. Again I understand that this issue is polarized so I see why people see it the way they do.
