The Left’s 'slippery slope' arguments are dishonest, writes QuinHillyer. Justice Samuel Alito has comprehensively allayed its fears, but people insist on spreading the fears anyway.
Not content with imagining a parade of pregnancy-related horribles if Justice Samuel Alito’s draft abortion decision becomes law, leftists insist that “same-sex marriage, contraception,” and even civil rights might now be headed for the back alley. Business Insider devoted a column to the alleged threat. So did Politico and USA Today. Ted Kennedy’s hagiographer Charles Pierce tweeted the same thing in high dudgeon, and liberal “analyst” Jeff Greenfield tweeted in support of Pierce.
In fact, Alito repeatedly and explicitly differentiated constitutional questions about those other subjects from the abortion question.
Just in case he hadn’t been clear enough, he circled back again near the opinion’s end to say that “we emphasize that our decision concerns the [alleged] constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”
