Abstract

A year has now passed since the Dobbs decision was leaked, and, despite having had more than enough time to contrive a coherent and persuasive argument against its holding, progressives have managed to come up with nothing more noble in the intervening time than to insist that the Court ought to be destroyed or stripped of its authority or packed with sympathetic judges (all of which, in practice, amount to precisely the same thing). Now, progressives have soured on it to such a degree that they have started "questioning the legitimacy of the Court and proposing court-packing schemes." Before Dobbs, American abortion policy was decided by the courts, which, for nearly half a century, had routinely struck down the will of the majority in the name of individual rights; after Dobbs, the states were free to regulate the practice as they saw fit.
