My goodness, a lot of Supreme Court news coverage is just downright ignorant.
Some more comments.
1. No, the recent Second Amendment decision and the abortion decision are not inconsistent.
Yes, the abortion decision means states will have to vote on what they'll restrict by way of baby killing, and yes the same states are restricted in what they can ban in terms of firearms carrying.
One is in the constitution, the other is not. D'uh.
2. No, the Wyoming ban doesn't offend a State constitution provision precluding a person from their own healthcare choices. Abortion isn't health care, and everybody actually knows that. Save for some rarer arguments, which are carved out in the Wyoming law, it's a form of post conception after the fact birth control by stopping the birth by killing the infant. This we also all know.
3. No, the abortion issue isn't going to help the Democrats in the 2022 or 2024 election. It'll help the Republicans.
Wavering Republicans who can't stand the Trump wing are being pushed right back in by being reminded in a major way what the culture wars are about, particularly by boneheaded suggestions from people like AoC that the Federal government open abortion clinics on Federal lands.
