"A Republican congresswoman called the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade a "historic victory for white life" at a campaign rally Saturday night with former President Donald Trump.

"President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday," said Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., as she raised her hands to lead the crowd in Mendon, Ill., in applause."

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
The USA was never a democracy.

@Roundandroundwego It was never supposed to be a democracy. It was meant to be a Republic with SOME democratic influences. Pure Democracies don't consider personal rights and freedoms, it becomes mob rule.
The federal government is supposed to be kept on a tight leash, and the States are intended to have more control than the fed.

@UnderLockDown since 1850 even the USA codified the right to live in a democracy. No legitimate nations are "not meant to be a democracy".
