Welcome to the 1950s

Washington.Seen from a distance, the development looks incredible: the majority of Americans support the country’s liberal abortion law, which has been in place for 50 years. Democrats rule in both the White House and Congress.

America was pushed back

Yet, in a few more weeks, the United States will be pushed back half a century in socio-political terms – in many places imprisoned for abortion and women in need will have to travel halfway. Country seeking help.

Conclusion for legal abortion Warning signal in many respects: This illustrates the power of social restoration by radical conservative religious circles in the United States. It explains the weaknesses of the outdated political system with electoral colleges in the presidential election, unequal representation in the Senate and the supremacy of the Constitutional Court.

Above all, however, it reveals how cleverly Republicans, rather than Democrats, have pushed their goals forward: By appointing three right-wing hardcore judges, Donald Trump has secured a conservative majority in the Supreme Court. His successor, Joe Biden, proudly presented the first black female constitutional judge, whose vote was not a bar for decades.

Things are worse for Liberal America. All that remains is the hope of a healing shock. Left-wing observers believe the crackdown on abortion rights could mobilize a powerful counter-movement that will push for elections in the midterm elections in the fall and prevent Democrats from losing a majority in Congress. If so, the Supreme Court ruling would at least be something good. Not sure if this will happen.
