America’s faithful are bracing — some with cautionary joy and others with looming dread — for the Supreme Court to potentially overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and end the nationwide right to legal abortion.
A reversal of the 49-year-old ruling has never felt more possible since a draft opinion suggesting justices may do so was leaked this week. While religious believers at the heart of the decades-old fight over abortion are shocked at the breach of high court protocol, they are still as deeply divided and their beliefs on the contentious issue as entrenched as ever.
National polls show that most Americans support abortion access. A Public Religion Research Institute survey from March found that a majority of religious groups believe it should be legal in most cases — with the exception of white evangelical Protestants, 69% of whom said the procedure should be outlawed in most or all cases.
In conservative Christian corners, the draft opinion has sparked hope. Faith groups that have historically taken a strong anti-abortion stance, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, have urged followers to pray for Roe's reversal.

Dems need way better messaging on inflation. It's mostly because Biden's economy is too hot
Of course much of it is because supply chains got screwed up during the pandemic and things still need to stabilize, but having a hot economy makes the existing issue worse.
In the short term, high inflation can be the result of a hot economy — one in which people have a lot of surplus cash or are accessing a lot of credit and want to spend. If consumers are buying goods and services eagerly enough, businesses may need to raise prices because they lack adequate supply.
Our response to the high inflation issue should always be that Biden's doing too good a job with the economy.
Curious if anyone has insight on how a channel like this stays up in Russia
It says the channel is located in the United States but he is clearly in Russia asking regular Russians questions that put them on the spot. Some say Putin is a war criminal, many are afraid to answer or say he isn't. I would assume it's not shown in Russia but he is able to walk around and get this footage in Russia. Are those who say Putin is a war criminal in danger now?
Do Russians think that Putin is a war criminal?
