The abortion issue came because nobody considered the circumstance we’re in where the supreme court would upright and turn over 30+ years of settled law.

Just admit that “I really want it” is absolutely a valid reason for policy change. You got something wrong, it’s fine. We all do sometimes. Unless you’ve got MAGA-brain.
