Stealing the court? He got elected and put his judges there as the law allows. Of course it's stupid that US law is this shit, but it's not stealing.
The article distinguishes between "being legal in first 3 monthes", "legal under any circumstances", "morally acceptable", "later term abortion", "second trimester abortion" and "final trimester abortion".
For your wish of total free abortion, with no time limite and whatever reason, the article says:
"At the same time, the survey showed 34% of Americans believe abortion should be legal under any circumstances". So, you are only 1/3.
I'm ok with abortion somewhere inside the first 2 or 3 monthes, and afterwards only in special cases like rape or risk to the women or fetus, or if the women/couple asked for abortion on the first trimester but the court was slow to answer.
For me, the later it is, the more reasons it has to be given to allow it
He lost the popular vote. He got elected because the US is not a democracy and undemocratic power is stolen from the People.
Then the Senate, itself an undemocratic institution that assigns power by State instead of by population size, made up new rules to give him two Justices. And doesn't even get into Gerrymandering and voter suppression and disenfranchisement and all the other undemocratic forms and structures within the US voting system.
It was stolen, and liberals let him steal it because he followed all the rules. Just because stealing is legal doesn't mean it isn't obviously stealing.
And my point is, in the real world, there are only two choices. Pro-choice and anti-abortion. That's it. You don't get to have your sooper speshul halfway position where you pick parts of one side and parts of another side and come to your own conclusion, you have to pick a side. Your or my personal individual opinion is irrelevant, all that matters are the two camps.
You have to choose.
And right now it sounds like you're picking the side that is banning abortion.
Your views that there's only extreme options is very unproductive.
You make people who could help you run away from you like that.
Let's agree to disagree. I learned some stuff in our conversation, but from now on any further interaction will not be beneficial to any of us
