In a speech at Harris campaign event in Michigan, former First Lady Michelle Obama tried to explain how horrible America would be if the Democrats lose the election.
"The most obvious downside of an abortion ban would be an increase in the number of women who die during child birth," she pointed out. "Men, you have no clue what we women are going through. Don't let the women you love die because they can't get abortions."
"Another big factor to consider is having to drop out of college to raise a child," she added. "Your lifetime earnings could take a significant hit without that college degree."
"Even if you have no intention of going to college a ban on abortion could ruin your life," she warned. "Just this week we learned that Fleetwood Mac, one of the best ever rock bands, was saved by the abortion lead singer Stevie Nicks got in 1979. She realized that it would be cruel to drag her baby with her on tour with the band and didn't want to abandon the baby to a nanny or give it up for adoption, so she mercifully terminated her pregnancy and saved both her career and the careers of her band mates."
While the former First Lady's pitch was passionate, it was also based on one big lie. The failure to elect Harris will not result in a ban on abortion. Currently, some states have severe limits on abortion, some have moderate limits on abortion, and others have no limits on abortion. The US Supreme Court has ruled that, under the US Constitution's Tenth Amendment, the authority to deal with the issue of abortion is reserved to the states. Donald Trump has expressed no intention of trying to secure a nationwide ban on abortion. He has expressed his opinion that the Supreme Court's decision acknowledging that authority rests with the states is correct.
There is nothing to prevent a person living in a state with limits on abortion from traveling to a state where there are no limits. That this might entail some expense and inconvenience cannot justify the coercion that Democrats would like to impose by forcing every state to acquiesce to its extreme position. How extreme is this position? It would force taxpayers to fund abortions. It would compel doctors and other health care providers to perform abortions or lose their medical licenses. A less costly and less divisive approach would be for the proponents of unlimited abortion to seek donations to fund both the travel and surgeries desired by those too poor to pay their own way. This is what they would do if they truly wanted to unify the country.

Women will burn this country to the ground, electing retards and degenerates, just so long as they are assured they can kill babies.
It’s incredible to watch.
um...then they’ll need to take it up with their individual states where the matter is handled?
These one issue women is how we wound up with Prohibition. How'd that work out.
And then there's smoking...women didn't like that either. The solution to that problem was to wean folks off cigarettes and substitute Marijuana. Just plain nuts.
Maybe the women will go in a sex strike again!

The Federal Supreme Court ruled that under Roe V Wade that states’ have a growing interest in the life of future citizens after the first trimester (which was an arbitrary time choice). When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade they said abortion was really a state issue and not a constitutional guarantee.
So banning abortions or limiting them is really a state by state issue and not a federal issue..........unless the Supreme Court changes its ruling, which is not likely. Congress can’t really make it a federal issue, so limiting abortions per the US Supreme Court is a state issue.
There will always be extreme Blue states like California, Oregon, and Washington that will allow abortions with few restrictions until there is a massive culture change in those states.
It’s not going to be outlawed. what happens to it will be decided state by state as it should have been.
Murder states like Kali and NY will always have it, hop a bus and go.
