I've not a lot to say on the leaked draft of an opinion by the US Supreme Court that would overrule the Roe v Wade decision on abortion.

There are so many ramifications here, particularly for the lives of people in the US but also for the broader question of how decisions are made.
As I've mentioned before, I was brought up as a Catholic and I've known many people with a genuine belief in the "pro-life" position who weren't right-wing loons or consistent misogynists. I get where that ethical position is coming from and there is a distinction between that position and the hypocritical anti-life position that is behind the US right's assault on abortion rights. However, even the more principled and consistent "pro-life" positions cannot work. There is no neat way of crafting abortion laws that don't endanger the lives of anybody who is pregnant.
This was the situation Ireland found itself as a nation in the 2010s. The death of Savita Halappanavar in 2012 due to medical complications during pregnancy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar ) led to a sea-change in Ireland's attitude and laws on abortion.
Criminalising abortion doesn't work when judged on the basis of "saving lives". It simply doesn't. It makes abortion more dangerous but it also makes pregnancy as a whole more dangerous.
