Nothing can be done on Abortion until Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Just as easily? Roe v. Wade has survived five Republican presidential administrations, three conservative-led Supreme Courts and Republican controlled congresses. For 43 years, it remains the Law of the Land.

You might want to worry about who Hillary will appoint.

A reversal by the Supreme Court would send the issue back to the states, and make it a matter of state law.
Many women have been taught to believe that accurate information about embryonic/fetal development is nothing but "pro-life propaganda" and they view abortion as a birth-control option, not as baby-killing. It is hard to educate them on that topic, because there is big money in abortion, and the abortion industry owns the media and politicians.
It is going to take a while to get the abortion laws overturned. And we won't be able to do it by simply overturning them. We have to do it by educating young women before the abortion industry has a chance to teach them falsehoods. Waiting periods and requiring abortionists to give accurate information help, but those really come too late--we have to reach young women with the truth BEFORE. The tide is turning, but it is a slow process. When enough young people are educated, then the laws can be changed.

More than likely his pro-abortion sister who is a Federal Judge.
That’s what Trump should have said. This is totally a “gotcha” question and Trump let himself be trapped. His naivety bothers me more than what he said. That being said, he could also say that women who abort their babies are punished. I know a woman who had an abortion 40 years ago and she’s still depressed. Usually the relationship ends with the baby’s father. Often the woman cannot have children in the future or if she does fails to bond. These are facts. Putting a woman in jail? We do if she kills the baby five minutes after it’s born. Why not five minutes before?
Right now his top contenders are Judge Judy, Judge Wapner and Judge Reinhold. They are all tremendous people and would make fine Supreme Court justices....
