We already knew of his 17th century mindset, but that wasn't enough for him. He researched even more archaic sources to sneakily insert some 12th century, biblical BS into the 21st century Dobbs decision which we are now stuck with.

This SCOTUS ruling is a disgrace but it won't come close to lasting the 50 years of Roe which it overturned. Dems are determined to codify abortion rights, and it will happen.
