Visiting the Capitol, I couldn’t help but recall the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, the chaos in the crypt and the rotunda as supporters of the former president smeared feces on the walls and sought to overturn the 2020 election. We are only now discovering just how close they came. A peaceful crowd of several hundred milled about, chanting and holding signs. By the time we arrived, many were defiant, although there were a handful of anti-abortion demonstrators, most of them — how could it be otherwise — men.The rise and fall of Roe tells a complicated story about where our rights come from, and what we can do to defend them.
We have never taken away a right once granted in this country. The Dobbs decision represents a disastrous precedent.
