I read it in it's entirety and it seemed to take an extremely long route to say our vote matters more than who sits on the Supreme Court. While that may be true to a point, he incorrectly states that the SC cannot take away abortion rights because states can enact their own provisions.

If the SC decides abortion to be murder, no state can sanction it any more than they can vote to allow lynchings to be legal. At least I sure hope they can't, I'm not a lawyer.
