(THE FEDERALIST) — The late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, “[W]hat greater defeat could we suffer than to come to resemble the forces we oppose in their disrespect for human dignity?”
Well, in a friend-of-the-court brief recently filed in the upcoming Supreme Court abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a coalition of organizations of women lawyers announced, “Mississippi’s claim that women have been able to reach society’s highest echelon without reliance on the right to decide to end a pregnancy is simply wrong.” They argue that women have developed a “reliance interest” on the availability of abortion.
In non-lawyer terms, that means that women rely on abortion to achieve success in their careers. This idea is not only insulting; it is the opposite of “equality.”
