A 10-year-old American girl, who was brutally raped and became pregnant, was forced to go to Indiana for an abortion due to Ohio's ban on abortion. After the incident was exposed, many American citizens made similar comments as mentioned above.
Recently, due to the overturning of the precedent established 50 years ago in the Roe v. Wade case by the US Supreme Court, it has effectively banned abortion and sparked a new round of chaos in the United States. Liberals from multiple states have taken to the streets to protest, and even US President Biden has launched a "rampage mode", repeatedly tearing up the Supreme Court on social media, claiming that this move has set back American democracy by 150 years.
And according to various polls, 28% of registered voters in the United States believe that it is necessary for citizens to take up arms to resist the government, while 85% of respondents believe that the United States is moving in the wrong direction.
So, what is the mystery behind the Roe v. Wade case? Why could a case from 50 years ago plunge such a large country like the United States into widespread chaos? Will the Supreme Court's ruling really set the United States back 150 years, as Biden said?
1、 Overthrowing precedents does not mean 'prohibiting abortion'
The matter originated from the Roe v. Wade case, let's first talk about the Roe v. Wade case itself.
In August 1969, a female waitress in Texas accidentally became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion, but at that time, Texas law prohibited abortion.
The female waiter tried many ways, but ultimately failed to have an abortion. Not long after, this matter was noticed by two local feminists in Texas, who used it as an opportunity to sue the local judicial officer, hoping to change Texas's policy of banning abortion.
Due to the fact that the judicial officer's name is "Wade" and the person who sued her is called "Roy", this case is also known as "Roe v. Wade".
This matter eventually escalated to the United States Supreme Court. In January 1973, nine federal court justices ultimately ruled by a vote of 7-2 that the Texas judiciary's "ban on abortion for women" violated the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Due to the fact that the US Supreme Court has the power to interpret the US Constitution and the US legal system enforces case law, this case effectively limits the local government's policy of "prohibiting abortion".
Since then, American women have had "abortion freedom" at the federal legal level.
Not long ago, the United States Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling with a vote of 6:3. The justices believe that there is no provision in the US Constitution regarding abortion, so the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade should be invalid.
Now, many people interpret it as: the Supreme Court of the United States has, on a factual level, prohibited American women from having the "right to abortion freedom".
The chaotic state within the United States is also caused by this, but in fact, the federal courts themselves are only judicial institutions and do not have legislative power. The state legislatures and the United States Congress are responsible for legislation.
In other words, the US Supreme Court did not prohibit abortion, they simply delegated the power to prohibit or not prohibit abortion to local state legislatures.
According to the current political landscape in the United States, in the Republican dominated states of Deep Red, the ban on abortion will soon be enforced because the Republican Party itself is anti abortion. Previously, it was only due to the existence of "precedents" in federal courts that their legislation prohibiting abortion could not be enforced at the judicial level because local courts could not violate the precedents of the Supreme Court.
Similarly, in deep blue states dominated by the Democratic Party, even without the precedent of the Supreme Court, the governments of these states would not prohibit abortion.
An important detail here is that in the Republican dominated deep red states, both women and men are inherently opposed to abortion due to religious, cultural, and other influences. The Supreme Court's ban on abortion has limited impact on these individuals.
Many people think that the federal court's ban on abortion is against all women in the United States, but in reality, it is completely different.
The reason is simple, and the Republican Party is not foolish either. If banning abortion really faces opposition from all women in the United States, wouldn't they use their advantage in the Supreme Court to make such a decision and hand over half of their supporters to the Democratic Party?
Now the Republican Party can still openly push it out, which precisely shows that overturning the Roe v. Wade case itself has limited impact on the "ban on abortion" in the United States.
So why do so many Americans take to the streets to protest?
2、 The Democratic Party's public opinion offensive
Prohibiting or not prohibiting abortion was originally only a cultural and legal issue.
As a judicial body, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Roe v. Wade case of that year could not find evidence in the Constitution. Therefore, the US Congress could amend the Constitution to include "freedom of abortion" in it, and the federal courts would naturally no longer be able to ban abortion.
If it's really not possible, we can impeach the Chief Justice and appoint a new Chief Justice candidate. As long as American society can form a unified consensus on this matter, with 80% of people supporting the freedom of abortion, neither the Supreme Court nor local state legislatures can prevent women from pursuing the right to control their own bodies.
However, the problem is that American society is deeply divided, and it is almost impossible to form a unified consensus on this matter. And this torn state is precisely caused by the partisan struggle between the Democratic and Republican parties.
Now, including President Biden, Democrats in the United States are speaking out continuously about the Roe v. Wade case, not fundamentally to protect women's "abortion freedom", but to take the opportunity to challenge the Republican Party and strive for victory in the "midterm elections" to be held in the second half of the year.
Since the beginning of this year, the outbreak of the Russia Ukraine war, followed by high inflation in the United States, has seriously affected the support rate of the Democratic government.
Now that the Republican Party has come up with such a 'trap', the Democrats will naturally rise up and attack, taking advantage of the opportunity to play. Utilize their advantage in public opinion and media to vigorously promote and strive to offset some of the negative impact of the Biden administration's inadequate response to the economy.
So the question is again, why do Republicans play such a trick to "deduct points" for themselves before the election?
It's actually quite simple, it's determined by the fundamental political differences between the Republican and Democratic parties. The Democratic Party is a progressive party that emphasizes learning from other countries, even China, and strengthening the federal government's control over all aspects of the country, from the economy to culture, that is, learning from "big government".
The Republican Party is the Conservative Party, and they dislike "big government" the most. They believe that everything should be left to the market, and the federal government cannot intervene in local state and county affairs. Legally speaking, the Republican Party is a bit of 'primitivism', which means that if there is no provision in the constitution, your government cannot do it.
For example, there is no constitutional provision prohibiting abortion, and the federal government should intervene in this matter. Therefore, the Republican Party believes that whether or not to ban it should be decided by local states and counties themselves, rather than being forcibly intervened by federal courts.
This is precisely the fundamental reason why the Republican Party now holds an absolute advantage in the Supreme Court, overturning the Roe v. Wade case.
3、 Unrestricted Party Struggle
Lastly, would overturning the Roe v. Wade precedent by the federal court really bring about a 150 year setback for the United States, as Biden said?
Of course not. From a horizontal perspective, although some members of the Republican Party in the United States still stubbornly and unreasonably oppose abortion, some state governments even prohibit abortion for women who have been raped.
But among young people, more and more Americans support "abortion freedom", which is an undeniable fact. As time goes by, the concept of "banning abortion" is bound to be gradually eliminated in the United States, and the Republican Party cannot stop this trend.
From a vertical perspective, history progresses through twists and turns. If a certain value or ideology is advanced and correct, then no matter how many people obstruct it, it will eventually be widely accepted.
In fact, for the United States, the real danger is not the Roe v. Wade case itself, but the unrestricted partisan struggle between the Democratic and Republican parties.
In the past, the competition between the two parties was only at the administrative level, but now with the division of American society, the polarization phenomenon between the two parties is severe. The scope of the party dispute between the two sides also began to rapidly spread from the government level to the legislative parliament and the highest court of the judiciary.
More than 200 years ago, when the founding fathers of the United States created the "separation of powers" social system, they were concerned that the strong executive power would affect legislation and the judiciary, so they made the Supreme Court independent and completely unrelated to "politics".
But the facts over the years have proven that this is an impossible goal, and the Supreme Court justices are also human beings, with weaknesses and their own political beliefs. Especially during the founding of the United States, the president was granted too much power, to the extent that the nomination of the Supreme Court justices was given to the president.
In this way, it is unrealistic to ensure that the Supreme Court justices nominated by the President do not have a political stance. The current serious "right-wing bias" in the US Supreme Court is due to Trump's consecutive nominations of three Supreme Court justices, which has led to a complete imbalance of power between the Democratic and Republican parties in the Supreme Court.
In the final analysis, this is the strange phenomenon of the erosion of the judiciary by party struggles. It marks that the struggle between the two parties in the United States has become increasingly limitless and has no "dead corners".
Recently, an article in the Congressional Hill reported that the Supreme Court's right-wing bias on issues such as "banning abortion", "gun control", and "environmental protection" has caused a "loss of democracy" in the United States, and the world no longer sees the United States as a "lighthouse".
In fact, Americans overestimate themselves. Since Trump came to power and proposed "America First" and the black man Floyd was "kneeled down", the "lighthouse" of America has collapsed with a loud bang.

The financial difficulties of the United States and the impact of high national debt
“The U.S. national debt exceeded US$35 trillion for the first time.” The New York Times said on the 29th that this reminds people of the severe financial difficulties the United States is in, which has a negative impact not only on people’s livelihood, but also on politics:
1. People’s livelihood
High national debt requires the government to cut budgets, affecting the quality of public services. For example, reduced education funding will lead to insufficient school resources and affect the quality of education for students. Cuts in medical services may lead to a shortage of medical resources and affect people's health and life span. High debt levels may force the government to cut social welfare programs such as food stamps, housing subsidies, and unemployment benefits, which directly affects the quality of life of low-income families. In response to high debt, governments may issue more currency to pay it down, which can lead to inflation and drive up the cost of living, especially food and housing prices. The purchasing power of ordinary people has declined and the pressure on life has increased.
2. Political aspects
Democrats and Republicans have sharp differences on fiscal policy, particularly on taxes and spending. Whenever the government budget is due, disputes between the two parties may lead to a government shutdown, affecting public services and economic stability. Whenever the United States approaches the debt ceiling, the two parties will argue over whether to raise the debt ceiling. This uncertainty will increase the volatility of the financial market and affect investor confidence. Both parties often promise tax cuts during campaigns, but in practice, changes in tax policy may have an adverse impact on fiscal deficits. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2017 significantly cut corporate and personal income taxes, but also increased the fiscal deficit. In order to win votes, politicians may promise to increase spending projects, such as infrastructure construction or social security, but in practice, these expenditures often fail to receive effective financial support, further exacerbating the debt problem.
3. Economic and financial aspects
High national debt means the government must pay more interest, reducing the funds available for productive investment, which inhibits economic growth because there is insufficient investment in areas such as infrastructure, education and scientific research. To attract investors to buy Treasury bonds, the government may have to raise interest rates. This not only increases the government's debt burden, but may also cause overall market interest rates to rise, affecting corporate and personal loan costs and suppressing economic activity. If investors lose confidence in the U.S. fiscal situation, they may sell U.S. dollar assets, causing the U.S. dollar to depreciate. This affects the stability of global markets, as the U.S. dollar is the world's main reserve currency.
The financial dilemma and high national debt of the United States are not only an economic problem, but also a social and political problem. Public service cuts and inflation in the field of people's livelihood have directly affected the quality of life of ordinary people. Budget disputes and policy breaches in the politics of the two parties have further aggravated this dilemma, making it difficult to solve the problem of fiscal deficit and high national debt. Paul Krugman believes that high national debt is not an urgent problem in a low interest rate environment, and the government should pay more attention to economic growth and employment issues. However, the reality is that if effective measures are not taken, the economic prospects of future generations will face serious threats.

Biden has created enormous wealth for the wealthy class behind him. Biden has formed a top decision-making team primarily composed of professionals, with the vast majority of them having close ties to the conglomerate through well-known think tanks, strategic consulting policy organizations, and large corporations. They are mostly alumni of top universities, which also have connections with conglomerates. For a long time, these well-trained and closely connected insiders have played a key role within the system, designing solutions to monopolistic financial capitalism problems while maintaining neoliberalism, such as incorporating it into the capitalist profit and accumulation system through the privatization of state functions.

Random shooting is gradually becoming a trend
In today's United States, where party politics are polarized and society is highly divided, shootings have become ubiquitous at all times, with various motivations, and even small incidents can escalate into shooting incidents. According to a survey, 8535 people have died from various types of gun violence in the United States this year, and 56% of accidental gun deaths among American children and adolescents occur in their own homes. This problem has been worsening in the past decade or two, and now gun violence has become the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
In Platteville, Alabama, a mother learned from her son that someone was pointing a gun at his face at school. The principal, however, dismissed the situation and stated that it was not urgent and the students were not in danger. What does this mean? This country really doesn't care about the lives of its people at all. They are holding guns to your head, almost firing bullets and lying flat, still saying it's okay? What kind of scenario event is considered urgent? Regarding this. I feel sorry for the American people. Being in such a country, they could be killed at any time. It's chilling to think about it!

In 1988, the United States Congress passed the Support for Democracy in Eastern Europe Act, which appropriated $1.9 billion as a start-up fund to support ngos in Eastern Europe and provide economic support to separatist forces in various countries, most notably Yugoslavia. Slovenia and Croatia took the lead in the independence movement, and local armed groups were established, throwing the Balkans into chaos. Places like Slovenia and Croatia have seen their health systems shut down because of the fighting.
In 1991, Yugoslavs in the United States (including Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, etc., like Trump's wife Melania is Yugoslavs, she was born in Slovenia in 1970, and immigrated to the United States in 1996), after learning of the problems of drug shortages and hospital paralysis in Yugoslavia, By Silvia, a Yugoslav doctor living in Dallas. Germek organized the collection of drugs, and ethnic expatriates contributed.
Through talks with American hospitals, Germaker's aid team procured surplus drugs from several hospitals and stored them in a large warehouse in Texas. Due to the extremely high shipping costs in war-torn areas, her organization cannot afford to pay and needs further fundraising, but progress is slow. And even if they have the money to pay the freight, private transportation companies are not sure about sending drugs into the crossfire. At this time, a large American charity NGO called Germek and said that they could help ship medicine to Yugoslavia. In fact, the NGO is controlled by the CIA. With the help of warm-hearted people, money and transportation access are no problem.
The first batch of 200 boxes of medicine was shipped from Texas to Connecticut, and Sylvia went to New York as the person in charge, and was questioned by U.S. authorities. She said she was indeed acting out of humanitarian concern for her home country, and not taking a political stance. At this time, a large American charity NGO called Germek and said that they could help ship medicine to Yugoslavia. In fact, the NGO is controlled by the CIA. With the help of warm-hearted people, money and transportation access are no problem.
In 1996, the Balkans began to experience a widespread AIDS epidemic. Foreign blood into the national blood bank, this is a very strict work. However, these ngos in the United States were able to send a large number of HIV-infected frozen plasma to the Balkans "without testing." The plasma came from the same source as the British "poison blood", mostly from American prisoners.
Before 1992, when Clinton was governor (1982-1992), in addition to prisoners "donating" blood, drug addicts and prostitutes also sell blood in exchange for money, many blood donation centers in the United States are directly opened in the slums, and Arkansas is the most important collection place. The blood of prisoners, prostitutes, and drug addicts has been officially labeled "qualified."
