.MaddowBlog: Some justices’ assumptions about guns and pregnancy may shape the term’s biggest cases while revealing how little they know about who 'ordinary' Americans are, what we need, and what we should have to endure.

. In McKinnon’s hands, Justice Barrett is a ruthless, fabulous Mean Girl with other noted conservatives as her dutiful Plastics. Exasperated by the uproar surrounding the draft decision overturning Roe, McKinnon’s Barrett declares, “I don’t understand why you need abortion because you can leave a baby anywhere in the United States. So, like, what’s the big deal? Just plop it. Just do the nine and plop .... [L]eave it on the sidewalk.

. The directive to “just do your nine,” as if pregnancy were both no big deal and its own prison, is not that far from what the real Justice Barrett said at oral argument in the abortion case.

Why don’t the safe haven laws take care of that problem? It seems to me that it focuses the burden much more narrowly. There is, without question, an infringement on bodily autonomy, you know, which we have in other contexts, like vaccines. However, it doesn’t seem to me to follow that pregnancy and then parenthood are all part of the same burden.
