Sounds good unless he plans to apply this logic to the abortion debate and leave it up to the states. That would be like leaving slavery up to the states.

“Sounds good unless he plans to apply this logic to the abortion debate and leave it up to the states. That would be like leaving slavery up to the states.”

That is EXACTLY what will happen when Roe is overturned.

Had Roe v Wade been correctly decided, we’d have a mix of state laws on the books determined by the citizens in each particular state rather than 9 unelected justices.(read Federalism).

In many states(read red states) having an abortion performed would be almost impossible(life of mother, rape <1% of current abortions)

Other states, Midwest and some mountain states would be less restrictive(strict 1st trismester only)but more restrictive than now.

Finally states like New York and some New England states along with California, Oregon and Washington would likely be wide open with few if any restrictions.

Even though it’s far from perfect, that scenario would save hundreds of thousands of unborn babies a year and curtail abortions in a significant way

Until peoples hearts are changed, that’s the best we can hope for.
