Does this really make sense? The pro-choice movement never really built a movement - it was all about lobbying and litigation, punctuated by quadrennial pleas to vote Dem because of the Supreme Fucking Court. With this passing with a 52-48 margin, and a lot of the opposition concentrated among older voters, wouldn't it make more sense to organize rather than litigate?
