I also do not think Roe will be overturned any time soon. I do think that a reversal would result in abortion bans in a number of states and a subsequent decrease in numbers of abortions. I base my conclusion on the impact of restrictions such as parental consent, waiting periods, and informed consent laws on abortion rates. Fewer abortions and more births took place after several abortion mills simply closed. Access *is* a factor here.
Well that's interresting because all the Pro-Life experts over the years have never contended that overturning Roe vs. Wade would significantly reduce the numbers of abortions in the country. I live in a dry county. Do you think that really reduces the number of people who live in that county to drink? Heck no, they just drive to a county that sells liquor, buy it, and either consume it there, or take it home. You think that if RvW is overturned, and most States ban abortions after the majority of their populous votes to do so, which is what would happen, that someone in a State whose people voted to ban abortion, wouldn't just drive to a state where abortion is legal, which would likely not be very far from them, or just do it in some covert abortion clinic? We're now arguing turning right vs. starboard. There are much bigger problems to the abortion issue than RvW. If RvW is overturned but no one's mind is changed, it accomplishes nothing. If minds are changed about the fact that abortion is murder, and finally most people understand that, RvW becomes unimportant whether it's overturned or not. And to do that, what is needed is prayer and constantly talking to those for the choice of death. Legislation and the Supreme Court can't accomplish what is needed to make abortion a thing of the past.
