What kind of "reform" are you talking about? I think most reforms happen via a legislative process.

Then you must not be a student of history.

We were talking about codifying abortion, not land reform stretching back to the fertile crescent. We have norms about how we change policy in the US today, and you do it through a legislative/political process. We can dislike that process, but I don't think disliking a process warrants contemplating murder lol.

That’s the fiction we’re sold, but the reality is lobbyists buy whatever legislation they want, and what the people wants does not impact legislation.

Let me know when the CIA starts pushing for regime change through the legislative process.

CIA starts pushing for regime change

And this is your reason why Biden could have restored abortion? Just trying to make sure I'm following how this connects to the original point.

Yeah, you’re really not following the conversation. Maybe go back and read it again.
