There is a principle in federalism and legal jurisprudence, I forget exactly what it’s called but if the federal judiciary rules that “something is to be banned”, and a state rules or legislates that the same “something must be banned but modified to the state”, a principle of conformity says the federal judiciary can compel the state to uniform application according to the federal ruling.

In other words, if a state acts in whole or in part with a federal ruling, the state can be compelled to act in full conformity with the federal ruling as the ruling is owned by the federal judiciary.

That is perhaps one reason the evil states went full bore for abortion without restriction.

I’ve read both your comments more than once trying to figure out the meaning.

Are you saying that if (hopefully when) SCOTUS overturns Roe V Wade, that states with no restrictions abortion laws can not follow the SCOTUS decision?

Yeh, the SOBs kept knocking down State Laws against abortion, back in the day. Like I said, sentiment was such that a constitutional amendment should have been rigorously pursued to make abortion illegal.

The longer things go on, the more acclimatized the people become to this atrocity.
