I'm sorry, I'm not sure I buy that abortion is strictly a state issue. I equate abortion with the slavery issue in the 19th century, and there is even an argument that abortion is a greater evil. Sure, if Roe is overturned and the issue returned to the states, it'll save lives in states that ban abortion quickly, but why should the lives of the unborn be valued less in California than in Texas? This is an issue that unfortunately needs to be handled at the federal level with a constitutional amendment.

I honestly don't think that is going to happen. Why, in this day and age, so many people still think they need abortions for birth control is something I fail to understand, but I know people, some older than I and conservative (about 90% of the time) in their thinking, who are very angry at the GOP over the abortion issue.

Even Roe of Roe V Wade is sorry this ever went to the SCOTUS, but our current configuration isn't going to overturn it and now with a Dem congress/senate it's not going to be overturned there, it has to start at a State level and with education....
