Since it's Mother's Day, NPR decided to spend the day promoting abortion rights. Which makes as much sense as celebrating Juneteenth by talking about how grand the plantation system was, and how everyone should own a slave. But anyway....
One of the radical extremists they used in a propaganda piece disguised as an interview had an interesting confession: For the last 49 years (and they kept repeating that time frame), the left and the progressive abortion rights movement has almost entirely been focused on the national stage, and were operating under the unwavering assumption that Roe v. Wade was settled law and 49 years (again) of precedent would never be overturned. During that time, the right primarily operated at the state and local level, and chipped away at the edges of Roe v. Wade, including setting up laws that take effect if it's repealed. Strategically, they didn't get very far because of the absolute nature of Roe v. Wade, but tactically they won almost every battle. This led to the right being a dramatically better place than the left, if the law-by-judicial-fiat is thrown out.
That's a pretty frank admission of two major gaping blind spots and the resulting failure in contingency planning, and I think it's also a relevant commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides. The right has focused more on the local and state level, which has led to many victories in areas like constitutional carry, congressional redistricting, and so on. While the left has taken the national stage, and dominates almost all issues at that level.
