“At the time, the sheriff told us that the search had nothing to do with criminality and that they were concerned solely about the woman’s safety, specifically the idea that she could be bleeding to death from the abortion… newly unearthed court documents about the incident show that when the search was performed, police were conducting a “death investigation” into the death of the fetus, and police discussed whether they could charge the woman with a crime” They then made up the public-safety documentation later.

““That’s not fair!” they’ll cry, like a small child watching another child getting a cookie when they didn’t get one. That childish cry for fairness isn’t wrong, but it’s incomplete. We all wailed like that as small children — “It’s not fair!” — when we imagined we were being excluded or denied something. But we didn’t yet understand enough about the world outside of our own selves to ever yowl that same thing when we witnessed someone else being excluded or denied something.
Everybody understands “justice” when they’re the one who didn’t get a cookie. Even Trump and his MAGA followers get that. But if some “social justice warrior” points out that someone else is being denied a cookie and says, “That’s not fair,” this confounds and confuses them. So what? That person is not me. So that’s not a matter of justice, merely of “social justice,” and that’s just some sin-of-empathy, woke-mind-virus, cultural Marxism argle bargle.” Discrimination against women wasn’t the specific topic of that slacktivist post but it’s certainly applicable.
“MAGA opportunistically portrays the solution to men’s distress as a zero-sum game: in order to improve the status of American men, we have to “take back” from the usual suspects – women, our trading partners, the intellectual elites, environmentalists, the “deep state” and the historically disadvantaged.” — Paul Krugman
