The justices are considering whether to roll back access to mifepristone, whose demand has swelled since the high court eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion.

There are real issues out there, but your politicians would rather fart around.

I think an important thing to note about "a constitutional right to an abortion" is that they just happen to treat this one non-enumerated constitutional right as more protected than every enumerated right. They treated abortion as a right more protected than speech, access to firearms, the right to be secure in your persons, or right to due process.

And then it was supposedly based on a right to medical privacy, but that supposed right was insanely narrow. It only came into existence if and only if you wanted to kill a baby, and the moment you were done killing the baby it magically disappears as if it never happened.

Good points. Abortion is not a right, but one may still have a right to have an abortion.

Ultimately it's a cultural question and the law has never been good at those.
