Would like to hear you expand on that.

I'll take a stab at that.

Repealing Roe v. Wade merely restores the status quo antebellum, and I use that word intentionally.

Without Roe v. Wade, we would still see massive blue states like California and New York free to keep abortion legal.

And we both know the abortion industry has bought and paid for more than enough politicians to accomplish that.

Repeal of Roe v. Wade is, I would argue, necessary but not sufficient to being Pro-Life.

In a post Roe world, abortion will be legal in those blue states only so long as a sufficiently large portion of their electorate wants it so. I believe those hearts are winnable, too.

There are some Freepers who apparently think that a President should send in the National Guard to close abortion clinics nationwide (the "stroke of the pen, law of the land" approach).

In fact I do reject that approach. I frankly don't want to use the term antebellum intentionally, and I especially reject the idea that any other position is by definition not pro-life.
