"From the dissent: People did not ratify the 14th Amendment. [Cis] men did. So it is perhaps not so surprising that ratifiers weren't perfectly attuned to importance of repro rights for womens liberty, or for their capacity to participate as equal members of our Nation. [7/9]"

"If a protected right must be "deeply rooted in history" as this radical SCOTUS majority claims, then it means that if framers of the Constitution or Amendments did not see reproductive freedom 100s of years ago as a right, it doesnt exist. Who ratified 14th Amendment? Men. [6/9]"
