I wonder how FReepers would react if, say, California nullified the federal partial-birth abortion ban (which was, like Obamacare, passed under the Interstate Commerce clause).

It would destroy the constitutionality of Roe. :)

We’d go back to the old standard in the 50’s where certain states permitted abortion, but most did not.

I would love it. The issue should be fought in the state legislatures. How many Rats would be elected locally if they were held accountable for this type of law instead of passing it off to lifetime appointed federal judges?

If it is a state-by-state decision then I think FReepers would live with it instead of it being a top-down federal edict.

There is no federal partial birth abortion ban.
