In order to uphold Mississippi’s law, a fairly straightforward 15-week abortion ban—a regulative time frame viewed as “strict” by abortion’s tendentious apologists but positively generous by European standards—with customary dispensations for severe fetal abnormality and the life of the mother, the Court’s right-leaning justices will need to summon their innermost convictions and channel the solemnity of their constitutional oaths against what will be an unprecedented, full-spectrum intimidation campaign and disinformation onslaught....

At the time, McCoy had been forced to defend the funny, gross, weird “females only” party he’d tried to throw earlier that month. Freshly traded from the Eagles to the Bills, McCoy had apparently wanted to celebrate or, probably more likely, mourn the whole situation.

Despite co-star Don Knotts leaving the show to make movies after the fifth season, when The Andy Griffith Show went off the air in 1968 (after 249 episodes) it was still the number one show in America....
