One of the key arguments the state of Mississippi presented to the court in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case was that there was no reliable way to study the impact that the Roe v. Wade decision had on our society. In response, Caitlin Myers organized over 150 respected economists and researchers to counter this claim in a formal amicus brief to the court. Myers sat down with us to talk about the experience of putting together the brief, what economists know about legal abortion and “the ability of women to participate equally” in economic life, and the pain of watching the court actively ignore the hard data.
“Let’s set the data aside”??!! OMG!! Sounds like Roberts had already made his decision and didn’t want to hear anything that contradicted his opinion. We really need to do something about this Supreme Court if the Democrats can ever take back control in DC.
Certainly, we need to focus on improving education for every US citizen and permanent resident alien until everybody and their neighbor can make informed and rational decisions on every subject which affects daily life.
That said, John Roberts had an excellent education. He's just a smarmy, duplicitous bastard.
