Allow Me to Retort

When Elie Mystal went on The View to discuss the hardcover of Allow Me to Retort and called the Constitution “trash,” the internet exploded. Media from Newsweek to Black News Tonight covered it, and the book shot up bestsellers lists at the New York Times, Bookshop.org, Amazon, and elsewhere. Now this “pugnacious and entertaining critique of conservative interpretations of the Constitution” (Publishers Weekly) is available in an affordable paperback edition.

Listening to people debate #abortion and reading the odd meandering legal decisions that led to Roe v Wade and PP v Casey, i thought it was me who was flawed for not being able to understand why it wasn't simple. Why is the right based on privacy?? And not based on the fact that I'm a person?? Turns out, it's the Constitution and originalist reasoning that are flawed, not me!

Mystal breaks it down simply and humorously. You have to read #AllowMeToRetort.

Another installment of the i love that man, the #ElieMystal fan club:)

Liberals and men need to be clear as Mystal is here plus Eighth, Fourteenth and Thirteenth Amendment arguments---
(Choice is an okay-ish framework) Mystal states: "But the better legal frame is "Forced birth is some evil shit that can never be compelled by a legitimate government. The end.""
