Voters of both parties need to think hard about the possibility that they or someone they love might want to make their own decision about how their life will unfold—whether they go to college, whether they pursue a career, whether they have the child they want on their own time table. Few voters want extremist politicians or religious leaders they don't follow to make these choices for them.
Republican leaders spent decades manipulating the selection of Supreme Court justices so extremist judges could strip Americans of a right they've had for half a century. So they can't claim it's a"scare tactic" to warn that other fundamental rights, like the right to use contraception or marry a partner of their choice, could fall.
