Then the CHILD pictured below, which the LEFT calls "blob of cells" and wants to murder, is deemed to be a human being.
Here's what I said about that article:
If Roe should be overturned, which itself is unlikely, that would mean that each of the fifty states could decided for itself the status of abortion in that particular state. It is unlikely that any state - with the possible exception of Utah - would vote to ban abortion. So it would remain legal in all the states but each state would decide in a democratic fashion the degree of reasonable restrictions to be place on it. The range would be all the way from Mass. and NY which would have unrestricted abortion, as I presume they do now, to states like Alabama where there would be the most restrictions, like a ban on late term abortions, parential notifications, waiting periods, etc. All the other states would fall in somewhere in between.
The point is that each state would decide the issue democratically, through the legislative process, rather than by a federal judicial fiat, as was the case with Roe v. Wade. And that's exactly what liberals can't stand: allowing the people to settle issues in a democratic fashion. On this as in so many other issues, they count on the Supreme Court to do their dirty word for them!
What happens if Roe is overturned?
The Lord will weep tears of joy.
What would stop everyone from going to say...California to get their abortions then? Doesn't seem like the 'states' approach would fix anything.
"What happens if Roe is overturned?" More babies will be born to enjoy their constitutional right to the "pursuit of happiness."
We must make partial birth abortion illegal and have Congress impeach any of the federal judges who continue to allow this barbaric and inhumane practice.
First the evil left has come for the innocent children waiting to be born. Soon it will be you aging baby boomers who will bankrupt Social [In]Security. Finally they will come after you as evil needs massive death to continue functioning. Just reflect on Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, etc.
Not much right away. It will go back to the states and people will start driving over state lines to get abortions.
bread and f***ing roses, indeed.
I would be VERY surprised if states like Louisiana and Mississippi voted to allow even early abortions in cases of convenience.
Answer: The goes back to the states (as the Constitution REQUIRES). Each state will make its own decision. Many if not all will continue to allow abortion.
What the liberals can't stand is allowing people to make up their own minds through the democratic process. If the "constitutional right to an abortion" wasn't mandated through Roe v. Wade, states would have the right to ban abortions, or permit them, through the legislative process, as it should be. Also, pro-life lobbyists and pro-abortion lobbyists would be free to take their campaign directly to the people in any given state. That's why the liberals are terrified: because with all of the technological developments available (such as ultrasound), pro-lifers can make a compelling and persuasive case for banning this horrendous practice. That is why the liberals are so afraid of having to debate this issue on the merits at the ballot box. They would rather mandate it from on high through the federal court system.
Hopefully, the President will push through his strict constructionist candidates in the next four years. It is past time for this "constitutionally mandated" holocaust to end.
The Social Security Fund will deny benefits to anyone that has had an abortion. The theory being; if you destroyed the generation that would pay for your benefits, you should not be able participate.
It will force a debate on the practice. Since it is now a constitutional right the pro-abortion people are unwilling to discuss the the issue since they can get courts to prohibit any limits on the practice. WIthout Roe v Wade we anti abortion people can force the debate, get the truth out in the open, and either get some states to outright ban it or to seriously limit the practice. One thing for sure, late term abortions would be illegal.
Really? What makes you say that?
Prior to Roe v Wade in 1973, only four states allowed abortions (Alaska, Hawaii, New York, and Washington). Prior to 1967, no state allowed it.
It could happen that, if 5 or 6 states allowed abortion, the remaining states would feel free to ban it, figuring that its citizens could go to one of the "legal' states.
Actually, that is where the discussion should be made.
If Roe is overturned, nothing will be different, except the dims will probably win a lot more elections.
Absolutely nothing will change and nut jobs on both sides of the issue will still complain about it.
If Roe is repealed, I think we'd quickly see abortion prohibited or sharply restricted everywhere but the northeast. California and other West Coast states all have initiatives, which would permit the moderate pro-life majority (and it is a moderate pro-life majority, everywhere) quickly to put restrictions on the books.
New York, New Jersey, and New Englad don't have the initiative system, which would enable Democratic legislative majorities to bottle up restrictions indefinitely ... and I don't see abortion as an issue which would let Republicans get a majority in the New York Assembly or the Massachusetts State House.
The women of MA will be free to abort all the children they want to abort. I'm sure the legislature will even enact partial birth abortion laws. The blue states will continue to shrink in population relative to red states, so politcal power will ebb in the blue states.
I know you are being serious but I have to say it. We Wade!
