Exactly. It will simply go back to the States, where it should have remained in the first place. Some states will keep abortion legal, even ‘on demand’, others will restrict it.

If you don’t like your particular State’s laws, you can move to a state more to your liking.

Some of the ‘absolutists’ on both sides of this thing seem to want another civil war over it.

“Some of the ‘absolutists’ on both sides of this thing seem to want another civil war over it.”

When Barry Goldwater ran for President many, if not most, conservatives believed that the national government had limited powers and it shouldn’t be dictating individual behavior.

When Goldwater, Buckley and Reagan opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Bills it was on those grounds. The national government was granting itself power that they believed it shouldn’t have.

Today we have competing factions that aren’t worried much about excessive government power. They just want the national government to enforce their moral vision. The old limited government idea vanished long ago.
