<<But it's not possible to redo the last 30 years.>>

I think Althouse is correct in what she says, but her segue is invalid. Brooks was not calling for a do-over. There's no such thing as a do-over, not with all this water under the bridge.

<<It would be a wholly different experience of taking away a right, after the bitter politics had built to the level where the side opposed to the right has finally gotten its way, after we have already become polarized. What makes you think that won't be insanely bitter?>>

And, in the end we wouldn't end up banning abortion, so the people who are unhappy now would still be unhappy--and even more bitter.
