It is entirely possible that the decision to overturn Roe vs Wade will also provide Federal prohibition of abortion (as we all strive for), but its also possible that the decision to overturn will not go that far.
A lot of it depends on HOW Roe vs. Wade is overturned. If it is overturned on the basis of judicial activism, then the right to life issue will not be considered at the Federal level and will have to be tackled at the state level. If Roe vs. Wade is overturned on the basis of medical evidence, then I would be surprised if abortion is still allowed in the individual states.
But the biggest challenges to Roe vs. Wade are coming FROM state laws (South Dakota, Kansas, etc) that prohibit or severely restrict abortion. Its looking more and more like Roe vs. Wade will fade away, rather than be overturned directly, BECAUSE of challenges at the state level.
I disagree that its a case of doing the same thing over and over again. Its more a matter of planning for the worst case.
I would assert, as I just did to another poster, that this is not an either/or situation, it is “all of the above.” We must fight this on every single front.
But, as I’ve argued all along, the assertion that abortion is a state issue, in complete abrogation of the basic principle that all are endowed by their Creator with the unalienable right to life, everywhere in America, is to lose the war before a single shot is fired.
This fallacy that I’m arguing against, one that is propounded by Fred Thompson and many others, is in fact the death of the pro-life movement, and ultimately, the death of our free republic.
