And if all 50 states did somehow prohibit abortion, would things go back to the barber shop abortions and those with finances just travel to countries where it is legal?

More women die or are seriously injured from botched abortions today in the United States than died or were injured when all states had laws prohibiting abortions. Far, far more women.

Kevin, I see you didn't even bother to read my links...and you statement has no documentation...

America has had legal abortion on request since 1973. Before legalization, abortion complications accounted for 23% of all pregnancy-related admissions to municipal hospitals in New York City. After legalization, that number fell by 75% almost immediately, and continued to fall through the 70's and 80's. Today, the complication rate for early abortion in the United States is less than 1%, and the maternal mortality rate is .6 per 100,000 abortions.

See also below link, yes abortions were legal in California and New York before Roe v Wade and are likely IMO to be so if Roe changes, much ado about nothing.....
