Here's some other things you may be missing:

1. We still don't have M4A
2. We still have a minimum wage that's less than half a living wage
3. We are still in the midst of an eviction crisis
4. Elementary school students have active shooter training
5. Many are still burdened by crushing student loan debt
6. Corporations are openly illegally thwarting unionizing efforts
7. Privacy is threatened by both corporate and gov't power
8. Social Security is under privatization threat, AGAIN!
9. Water tables are falling to all-time lows as fire season about to start
10. WE NOW HAVE A GODDAMN "FIRE SEASON"!!!!!!
11. Congress is still guilty of insider trading
12. Press freedoms are under threat, while...
13. MSM spits out disinformation talking points rather than doing journalism
14. Civil rights abuses are rampant
15. Defense spending is out of control
16. Trust in governance is deservedly at an all-time low

*EDIT As requested:

• We have rising prices for energy and everything else
• We have epic homelessness
• We have an opioid epidemic
• We have kids in cages
• We have out of control health care cost
• We fight wars... actually, aside from the profit motive, I have no idea why we fight
• We no longer have Miranda Rights A right you can’t enforce isn’t a right, it’s a notion.
• We have an epidemic of mass shootings
• We have an epidemic of suicides
• ... (make suggestion, not to specific)

I could go on, but you get the point... Well, I hope you get the point (can't take a damned thing for granted these days). Let's be clear: Roe V Wade is important, but so are many other things. Speaking for myself, in the list above I would put it somewhere between 7 and 13, for you it may be number 1.

That said, the VBNMW is going to try to make the upcoming midterms all about Roe V Wade because it's all they got. Which is especially insulting because they share at least half the responsibility for it.

"VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" IS HOW WE GOT HERE!

VOTING REPUBLICAN TO "OWN THE LIBS" IS HOW WE GOT HERE!

Please, vote Green, vote Libertarian, vote for the whacky guy who somehow manages to get his name on the ballot in your state, write in FDR, but vote... for anyone other than incumbents, for anyone other than Dems and Reps, and let the politicians know you're watching, and this will be a really short assignment if they don't put voters first! This should be SOP, and yet somehow it seems like a big ask.
