Get the Public of National Public Radio

Defund National Public Radio, if NPR wants to lie, they should not be allowed to do so on the taxpayer’s dollar. An NPR village idiot, Sarah McCammon [1], writes:

She hopes Barrett’s confirmation will lead to the overturning [2] of the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, which would thereby allow states [3] to further restrict or ban the procedure.

Roe did not legalize abortion. Rather the Supreme Nine ruled that the several state could not make abortion illegal. Abortion was legal in some states prior to Roe [4].

The legal position prior to Roe v. Wade was that abortion was illegal in 30 states and legal under certain circumstances in 20 states. In the late 1960s, a number of organizations were formed to mobilize opinion both against and for the legalization of abortion.

All the Supreme Court can legally do under the Constitution is to return the issue of abortion back to the several states.
