12. When the landscape settles, abortion is likely to be illegal or severely restricted in at least 20 states —by that I presume is meant, no abortions permitted after 15/16 weeks. Which is the same standard maintained across all of Europe. Unless the left is intending to brand all of socialist Europe as right wing extremists, that sh*t won't stick.

Readers are aware that every Democrat candidate running in the mid-term elections, 30 days away, is running on abortion. Rather, they are running on the misinformed fear of harsh abortion restrictions. Item 12 is right on the DNC script; perpetuating those largely unjustified fears. The fact that USA abortion regs are coming into closer alignment with Europe post SCOTUS decision should not be a source of hysteria for anyone.
