I want to be clear with you and tour viewers," she told co-hosts Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire. "This is almost a radical decision in its recognition of the right of women to control their body." 

"More importantly, to prevent against a sort of involuntary servitude or forced labor," she added. "There is a recognition that women are not as he says collectively owned community property. That they cannot be forced to carry a fetus before viability any more than you or I could be forced to give up a kidney." 

"That's a fairly radical conception of the right to abortion, and made a lot of women I know think, 'My god, this is the end of judicial gaslighting. There is somebody here who sees us,'" she concluded.

She’s not wrong; not at all.

But that is so close to the reasoning of the trimester division of Roe, upheld by Planned Parenthood, it almost deserves a law review article. And now that reasoning, fully 50 years old, it is now “radical.”

Fucking Overton Window.🪟
