I think one can actually be pro-choice and still want Roe v. Wade overturned. Why? Because all Roe v. Wade did was tell the states they they could not prohibit abortions. Without Roe v. Wade, states could prohibit abortions, but most states would probably not do it, and none would prohibit them completely. An abortion would still be legal for anyone who could afford one. There would just be more hoops to jump through.

With disciplines such as fetal surgery blossoming, Roe can't survive forever, and neither even can the abortion mentality. Justice Alito will be a good step toward restoring sanity on this issue.

I agree 100%. In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg disagrees with Roe but is certainly pro-choice. She would certainly never vote to overturn it though.

Your scenario of an post overturned Roe world is very accurate. Abortions aren't going away even with Roe overturned. The only state that might prohibit them completely would be Utah.

I don't think that any state would restrict them to the extent of only for rape, incest or harm to the mother. There would probably be waiting periods and more hoops to jump through as you said, but that would be about it.

To be clear, I'm not advocating this sort of result but just pointing out what I think the result would be.
