That's Michigan. How, short of federal action against abhortion after Roe vs. Wade is done away with, will we avoid turning NYC, LA and Chicago into the abortion mills of the nation. If the SCOTUS had not shoved abortion down the throats of the entire nation, there would not have been a culture of death permeating the entire nation. Now, only a national solution will stop abortion.

There is a constitutional solution to this mess. Regard each chld conceived as a "person" under the Equal Protecton of Laws provision of the 14th Amendment and every state will be REQUIRED to behave accordingly and protect that child from homicide just as it does those children already born. We already have state statutes (upheld by fedcourts) that make the killing of an unborn child by a party lacking the mother's consent a criminal homicide. The mother's consent or withdrawal thereof does not make the unborn child a person or not a person. Protect each unborn child in every case where there is not a credible imminent physical threat to the literal life of the mother. "If I can't get an abortion, I will kill myself" is NOT such a threat.

Who knows? Pre-Roe, New York's legislature repealed their own permissive abortion law, but the bill was vetoed by Nelson Rockefeller.

In war, and this IS a war, one can gain a tactical advantage by forcing the enemy to retreat to narrower and narrower quarters. Having to go from, say, South Dakota to Minneapolis will likely deter some abortions.

When a dozen or so states outlaw abortion in a post-Roe world, their ground troops can focus on the remaining states, and probably pick off a half-dozen more. The pro-aborts don't have the numbers to pray, picket, protest, lobby, etc. They do have a lot more $$$, but they are not gaining with the young even with pretty much unimpeded access thrugh media and schools.

The recent court decisions may not stop so many abortions short term. However, it does establish the principle that it is not an unlimited "right." Now that this is in play, we can argue that this so-called right should be more restricted. At some point with God's help, sicne this is largely a spiritual war, critical mass is achieved, and the whole thing is undone bloddlessly. If Daniel "the Red" Ortega can flip on this (whether it was a real or convenient conversion, I will let God decide), anything can happen.
