The more abortion rights are safely enshrined in state constitutions (and maybe federal statutes) the less they are a live issue in elections (since they’re safe). The current pro-choice surge contains the seeds of its own diminution, no?

Ignores difference between a) redistributing to everyone (eg. UBI, Nixon’s guaranteed income, Joe Califano under Carter) and redistributing to workers (eg Clinton & his welfare reform). Wrong to lump Clinton with group (a), calling them all New Democrats. https://t.co/JMzXYKoB5N
