Who appointed these justices? 

Republicans. 

The "corporate owned stuff" doesn't even really work for this. Corporations don't have much stake in the abortion debate. If anything, banning abortion is anti-business because it harms the legal business surrounding abortion and pushes people towards illegal options. The problem here is Republicans. We don't need to mince words or come up with secretive schemes to explain it. Republicans have been telling us their plans for decades. The problem is Republicans, and the people let them have power. 

I agree republican politicians are to blame, I never said they weren't. Yes that "corporate own stuff" does work for this, how do you think they get their money and who do you think lobbies them to be in power??? This information is publicly available, I'm surprised you don't think these things are interconnected.

Corporate funding definitely has huge power in DC. I am speaking specifically about abortion. This is a Republican pet cause, not a corporate America one. Like, sure, argue that opposition to Universal Health Care is largely fueled by the dollars of companies who are immensely profitable under our broken system. I won't stop you there. But I think it's somewhat delusional to "both sides" abortion here. 

You could perhaps blame Democrats for being too milquetoast and refusing to take certain important steps, but the rights we are losing are being taken by Republicans. Full stop.
