Overturning Roe v. Wade has resulted in even more abortions. But they don’t want people to know that, since they lose their only issue.

The good news is it is NOT a federal issue anymore. It is local and state. And the states can compete on the issue. We will have to do more than laws, we will have to change the culture.
