Kennedy will go down as one of the worst, despite some earlier rulings that were fairly good, and here’s why: he’s the man poised to be the “decider” in the Court, with the right decisions staring him in the face, and he’s been consistently making the wrong ones lately. It’s an abominable failure on his part. He’s become an old man lamenting the loss of the world he grew up in and the mark he apparently wants to leave on history is apparently of the "skid’ variety…leaving a messy stank legacy of trying to turn back the clock at the end of his career while fully succumbing to being a dupe for the radicalized conservative movement’s inane arguments…

It was a new form of “Big Brother must protect the woman against her own weakness and immature misjudgment.”
Isn’t that what Government and politicians do to all of us on a regular basis? Telling people what’s best for them? Nothing new under the sun, RGB.
Right on, RBG. Right on. You have named the problem very neatly and succinctly. There are a bunch of Catholic men on the court who let their religious beliefs cloud their judgment on legal matters. It is pathetically obvious that they are in no position to judge whether a woman might “regret” her decision, and anyway that is not what they were called upon to rule on in that case.
I, for one, thank God for her presence on this court.

Good thing no one ever regretted buying a gun, or the second amendment wouldn’t be worth diddly.

This is mostly OT, but the remark of yours I quoted above brought it to mind. Several days ago, I was driving down a highway on the south side of town, an area I don’t normally visit much, and I crossed a road whose name made me think about the social lives my parents led when I was a child, and it seemed as distant from the current day as the Victorian Era. And then I happened to consider that we really are almost as far from those days of my early childhood as I was from the Edwardian Era, anyway, when I was a child. It was quite sobering to think how completely things can change in the course of a single lifetime.

…he wrote that “it seems unexceptionable to conclude some women come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained.”
Gee, wouldn’t that statement also apply to anyone, man or woman, who has ever had to make any kind of a choice that cannot be reversed?
Kennedy is almost as much a ideological buffoon as the other 4 he enables on a regular basis. Center-of-the-road my patootie…
We should outlaw marriage, because I know a lot of people who regret making that choice. And tattoos. And mullets. And dropping out of high school…

…and having that last drink. And giving that guy your phone number. And accidentally selecting “reply all”. And not realizing your boss has walked into the room while you’re talking…
