The real ignorance is that over turning Row V Wade is not a question of abortion...pro or con. The question before the court is: Is Abortion protected by the constitution? With the exception of what is listed on the Bill of Rights, everything is up for the debate. Abortion is not a protected constitutional right. Roe V Wade is therefore a bad decision and should be overturned.

With all that said.... eventually (following initial extreme laws from both sides of the arguments) the body politic will likely arrive at abortions being legal the first trimester and illegal the last trimester. What happens during the second trimester will depend on the leanings of the individual state.

Abortion will and should forever be an evolving question as the science and morality of it all gets debated.....as it should. My belief is abortion will one day be viewed in the same light as slavery and Jim Crow laws, but I don’t know that for sure. Perhaps abortion during the third trimester will always be viewed as acceptable. No one knows.

“With all that said.... eventually (following initial extreme laws from both sides of the arguments)....”

Can you give an example of a law that would be extreme law on the pro-life side?

“Perhaps abortion during the third trimester will always be viewed as acceptable.”

Even though it is “legal” today, abortion today isn’t viewed as “acceptable” by 10s of millions. How do you envision the country moving from where we are today to where 3rd trimester abortion “will always be viewed as acceptable”?
