21. I hope this is so. As a person who has actually given birth multiple times, she understands what those men...

Consider Nancy Pelosi. She, like Joe Biden, is a Roman Catholic. They are each very devout in their own way. But aside from having been raised in Democratic households, they have also let their lived experience shape them profoundly.

For Nancy, this lived experience included having 5 babies in 6 years. She has said (in so many words) there’s nothing any priest or bishop can tell her about what that means. She knows.

Fingers crossed that Amy will prove to be the swing vote among that all-male rigidly ideological group on the Court. Even if only on the issue of women’s health, that would be huge.
