    Jeet Heer Retweeted Adrian Vermeule

    This is a million times more honest than the mealy-mouthed center-right people saying that overturning Roe is the last step. I'm being sincere here is saying I appreciate Vermeule's candor.https://twitter.com/Vermeullarmine/status/1521677909831954433 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Adrian VermeuleVerified account @Vermeullarmine
    The pro-life movement is evolving. The argument here is that abortion must not be left to the states even if Roe is overruled. Rather, national constitutional law must recognize a fundamental human right to life. https://twitter.com/AUL/status/1521152907533598720 …

        In understanding what is next the people you should be paying attention to are the fanatics, who are honest. The people you should be ignoring are the GOP operatives, whose interest it is to obfuscate, minimize & gas light.

        It's possible Vermeule has different preferences than the centre right, so the difference might be nothing to do with a lack of candor

        Besides , it's impossible to amend the constitution the way vermeule would prefer, so what are we actually talking about?

        Vermeule claiming belief in a "right to life" is rich coming from someone who defended unmarked graves at Residential Schools, but I guess for him, a "right to life" is somehow supposed to equate to an opportunity for religious deliverance.pic.twitter.com/qm43LuWL3W

        the "life" in pro-life has never included anyone who's already been born, and especially not people of color.

        Anyone who believes people that spent decades working to subvert nationwide abortion rights because they equate abortion with murder are now going to shrug and say "but if my neighbors in another state decide murder is okay I guess that's just not my call" is deluding themselves.

        For Republicans, the fringe position is rationality. MTG/Gaetz/Gosar et al. are the representative core of the party. Yet media continues to act as if it's a reasonable political body with crazy outliers.
