Re/ women's rights and abortion, I saw an interesting analysis piece (The Atlantic?) in about 2022 that stated that #Poland had become a "testing ground" for right-wing laws like extreme limits on #abortion for the international right, chiefly dominated by GQP "think tanks" aka pressure groups like the #FederalistSociety.

Unpopular rulings on #elections, #abortion, presidential #immunity, #guns & other issues — as well as the #criminal cases against #Trump, which will likely move forward if he loses — have driven down public #trust in #SCOTUS & the #justice system.
That decline may be hard to reverse no matter which candidate prevails — especially if the courts play a role in deciding the winner.
