Roe v Wade has guaranteed the right to an abortion for almost 50 years. The decision by the conservative-majority Supreme Court paves the way to about half of the 50 US states banning or heavily restricting the procedure.
With the margin on the court, it also would have depended on the Dems fighting back against McConnell blocking them on the other seat, rather than using it to rally their base for 2016
It needed to be both RBG retiring and Obama putting whoever the fuck in since the senate refused to do their jobs. Instead he wrung his hands and say "well too bad can't do anything here"
Correct, RBG in particular could have prevented this from happening by just retiring during the Obama admin instead of being a selfish ghoul.
