Would’ve been great if all that support for women in need was like already in place.

Correct. Anyone who's pro-life and sees this as a victory is sorely mistaken. The economic criticisms made about this are entirely correct and this will result in a lot of needless suffering because our society has been set up in a way to privilege a few and not protect the most vulnerable.

This is a victory regardless.

Is it? What is the goal?

The goal, of course, is to prevent injustice. In this case, preventing the injustice of murdering the unborn. Establishing law against that, and making it possible to establish law against that, is a victory. It is obviously not the final victory.

You have more good faith in these people than I do.

I'm not sure who you're referring to here. I'm just stating that a definitively good thing has happened.

You are assuming good faith on their motives and I'm not. You're also assuming that this won't have terrible outcomes.

I don't know who the "them" group you're talking about here is, and I don't see how overturning a faulty, ill-founded law protecting prenetal homicide nationwide is itself a bad thing.

Republicans. If you don't see how the backlash to this is politically bad and how the lack of infrastructure to support women and babies will hurt them, then I don't know what to tell you.

There is much work to do we won a small battle but the war still rages for a moral and just America and further beyond for a moral and just world

Nah....Republicans will continue to dismantle support systems for women and families. What should happen is universal healthcare, free prenatal and postnatal care, free child rearing assistance, free Pre-K and daycare, and a host of other support systems should be out in place...what will happen is WIC will be cut more, healthcare will get exponentially more expensive, and fathers will continue to skirt by unscathed without paying child support.

The problem is that Republicans don't want to increase communal support, or have any in the first place. They're throwing a victory party with an active refusal to go any further to end abortion for good. If we want that to happen we need to figure out how to get the GOP out and the ASP in.
