65% oppose Roe getting overturned. I agree many oppose abortion on demand but there are some that don’t and there are many that are open to abortion in certain cases.

Let’s just say that Roe v. Wade gets overturned, and the issue goes to the States.

Barone says that abortion would only be banned in two (maybe three) States, let’s say that he’s off by a few, and imagine that voters in a total of ten States ban abortions.

So now, you can get abortion on demand in some States, and not on other States.

Then, someone in one of the States that banned abortion challenges the ban on Constitutional grounds, claiming that it violates Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution (privileges and immunities clause), as well as the Fourteenth Amendment (privileges or immunities clause).

Article IV, Section 2 — The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.

Fourteenth Amendment — No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.
