The timing of the Roe vs Wade case is inconvenient to say the least. Republicans struggle to get female votes largely because they lack wit and charm but also because they are "mean".

One of the greatest tragedies of our constitution was the 18th Amendment. The temperance movement was arguably led by women. [prohibition.themobmuseum.org] Although I consume considerable amounts of alcohol I'm sympathetic to the case women made against alcohol. In the 1800s women had little opportunity for employment and were forced to rely on husbands for financial support. Almost every male in the US was a drunk or alcoholic. Excessive alcohol consumption was the norm and it often led to spousal physical and mental abuse. It also was a common factor in failure to adequately support dependents. By the turn of the 20th century alcohol abuse was primed to be a major political issue and prohibition was the cumulation of over a hundred years of activists. What the activist failed to appreciate was the corruption of law enforcement, courts, elected officials and to some extent average citizens that the 18th Amendment produced. Excessive alcohol consumption is clearly immoral but the attempt to legislate morality by banning alcohol was not only ineffective it was destructive to institutions. Prohibition is an example of human rights being turned on their head. The right to be free of drunken abusive men by the means of outlawing a chemical is arguably restricting the control of one group over their bodies by another group interested in civic reform.

So why are women obsessed with "control over their bodies"? The common sense and rather obvious first cause is physical weakness. Remember when you were a child how you begrudgingly "respected" the physical strength of adults? Now imagine how toxic that feeling can be in a relationship with males. Another reason is simply the will to power. Women learn from an early age the power that sexual access gives them. Often control over their bodies determines who they mate, with and by extension their social status. Beyond mating look around and see how many truly ugly women are in positions of power, especially in adolescence. As it relates to abortion no women should willingly give up the power to decide to bear a child. Although there are means to control pregnancy other than abortion many interfere with the will to power. Abortion is simply an issue that many men simply will not care about.

The tragedy of the 18th Amendment illustrates how good intentions can go wrong. Other examples are the Welfare state and useless spending on education. While the welfare state has eliminated absolute poverty it has also destroyed families and communities. Useless programs such as head start, magnet schools and easy access to college loans have bankrupted cities and produced little improvement in education as well as arguably ruined higher education. Throwing money at problems generally causes more corruption than results. The money wasted could have been used for economic opportunity and community development. Problems that require social development can only be handled by personal relationships not money. Especially when democracy allows people to vote to spend other peoples resources. That the Republicans typically are the ones standing in the way of social programs women often see them as mean.

So what does mean mean? For the purposes of this discussion it means preferring policies that favor economic expansion in the private sector over government help in the domestic realm including childhood education, gun control, health care access and support for the poor among many other regulatory government interventions in the environment and work place. Women have been subtly indoctrinated to support feel good projects. A century ago womens intuition was a concept designed to raise emotions to an intellectual plane to give instincts some legitimacy in the political sphere. Ironically the modern equivalent is emotional intelligence. In a democracy this is social engineering at it's worse.

I wish the Supreme Court had quietly postponed Hearing the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health case until after the mid terms. If they throw out Roe vs Wade some women will blame Republicans, if they let it stand women in the Christian right may be disheartened. For Republicans the timing is bad.
