Why do abortion rights people whine about a group of white men overturning Roe v. Wade?

    If the rumors about the voting lineup in the Supreme Court is to be believed a 5-4 majority is set to overturn Roe V. Wade.

    Apparently this voting bloc consists of Barrett and three white male justices and Clarence Thomas. I've heard lots of complaints about a "group of men" voting to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    But.

    It was a group of men (7) who voted in favor of Roe v. Wade in the first place. So aren't complaints about the group intending to vote against Roe today a bit hypocritical?

    The big problem is some people can't abide by a Supreme Court decision -- regardless of the issue.

    Well they only complain about white men when they're doing things that they don't like. They're more than happy with white men making decisions that they LIKE!

    To be fair to the left, are they actually talking in these terms of white men overturning Roe?

    “They like it when people do things that they like, and dislike it when people do things they dislike. Hypocrites!”
    What degenerates!

    No. It's not even remotely close to being hypocritical.

    It is, if their complaint is that it was done by a group of old white men.

    It's not "people" that they complain about, but specifically "white men."

    If we were not in agreement, then you would have already said what exactly you disagree with!

    My intent was to mock your statement. To show that it was silly.

    The problem is that we have 5 radicals that don't deserve to be there, and they are doing enormous damage to the Rule of Law.

    It wasn't silly though. The left complain about white men having power and making decisions because of their sex and their race. But they don't have a problem with their race or their sex when they're making decisions which they like!
