    It's amazing the number of lies you have to tell to defend overturning Roe. This is wrong on many counts. School prayer still has majority support. Interracial marriage didn't gain majority support until decades after Loving. It's all lies.https://twitter.com/BGrueskin/status/1522761342280777728 …

    WSJ edit page says that Brown vs Board of Education was “followed by public acceptance,” which is, as they say, news you won’t see anywhere else. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-end-of-roe-will-be-good-for-america-supreme-court-draft-leak-decision-abortion-pro-life-choice-justices-alito-11651787057 … pic.twitter.com/C6H8YqglhW

        Wasn't it 1957 when Eisenhower sent troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to actually *enforce* Brown v. Board? Somebody defending little Ruby Bridges?

        The south wasn’t desegregated until the sixties and seventies. And people were killed and beaten. Judges who issued the desegregation orders were threatened.

        It’s also a complete lie that Roe is somehow especially contentious - 70+% of Americans agree with it

        All polling is question-sensitive, but abortion polling is very, VERY question-sensitive. Americans *overwhelmingly* say they don't want Roe overturned. But slim majorities also seem to support abortion laws that would essentially gut Roe. https://twitter.com/LoganDobson/status/1521917603597340673 …

        the funny thing about this absurd history is that in fact Roe does have overwhelming support. Something like 70% of the population or more oppose overturning it.

        The right seems very upset that people are “overacting” to them achieving their top political goal over the last 50 years.

        They never stopped at any point during those fifty years to see if anybody still wanted them to do this

        Further bolstering the reductive premise that laws are a popularity contest. YES, important positive changes have been motivated by civil discontent, BUT those changes don't get rolled back just because the same old people get louder about never wanting them in the first place.

        Plus... I mean, if they really thought what's happening now is so popular, they wouldn't be preemptively erecting the "please don't storm the castle" barriers outside of the SCOTUS building.pic.twitter.com/259DoDE9hH
