Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) predicted Monday that there would be a “revolution” if the Supreme Court overturned its landmark Roe v. Wade decision as the justices prepare to hear arguments in a highly anticipated case on the issue.
During a virtual event featuring the Granite State’s House and Senate delegation, Shaheen was asked if she believed the abortion debate had become “muted” since so many Americans do not remember life before Roe was decided in 1973.
“I hope the Supreme Court is listening to the people of the United States because … I think if you want to see a revolution go ahead, outlaw Roe v. Wade and see what the response is of the public, particularly young people,” she said. “Because I think that will not be acceptable to young women or young men.”

Of course overturning Roe v Wade wouldn’t outlaw abortion. It would simply return it to the states. Many of which would keep it legal.
Good. Let’s get the party started. Just remember, shitlibs - you asked for it.
You and I agree on that.
In many instances it comes down to personal enrichment also.
Did Shaheen say where the Revolution was going to start? Will it be televised? Will the liberals be carrying AR15s? Asking for a friend.
Bring it.
This is insurrection.
Say, folks, you have a nice little Supreme Court here. Be a shame if something happened to it . . .
A Criminal Investigation should have been opened immediately for this Credible Criminal Terrorist Threat to the Supreme Court, how many quisling republicans filed an Ethics Complaint over this Criminal Terrorist Threat to Government???
Learn the Rules and USE THEM!
This bitty wouldn’t know a revolution if it smacked her in the face. Likely she’s an idiotic college Marxist that made it to the big time.
Bring it. We are killing 2,000 baby Americans per day. Let’s go.
There will be abortion free and abortion limited states as well as abortuaries like California. We shift our focus state to state. Federal funding of this atrocity ends. Social stigma increases. That’s what difference it makes.
” trying to enforce a law without first winning popular support is a bad strategy, and the ruling will be reversed.”
Wow. there was no popular support for homo “marriage.”
What other horrors are you willing to tolerate until people change their minds. If the majority want to have sex with little ones will you oppose making it illegal? It’s apparently reasonable to you that we legally kill them.
Revolution??????
The Left sucks at math.
You say you want a revolution... well ya know...
Same sex marriage doesn’t affect those not in the marriage as much as a law that could suddenly affect any woman capable of getting pregnant. So there is a lot of indifference. Also, I’m sure you noticed there was a concentrated campaign in the arts, and in popular entertainment, since the 1970s to normalize homosexuality. And it succeeded with a LOT of people.

But until the culture (books, movies, music, TV shows, influencers, celebrities) makes abortion feel cruel, wrong, and shameful to the majority, trying to enforce prohibition of abortion will follow the cycle I predicted, whether we like it or not.
Here’s the thing—what strategy will increase social stigma? Will making it illegal accomplish that? Or will it lend glamour to defiance?
There haven’t been any obstacles to efforts to impose a social stigma since Roe vs Wade. Pro-life people have been as free to appeal to the intelligence and emotions of the population as those against sexual exploitation of children. The exploitation of teenage girls by adults has a much greater social stigma today than fifty years ago.
But there is always a lot of ambivalence about abortion in the general population. The question is, how do we sway that ambivalence in the direction of stigmatizing abortion?
We Can’t change people’s hearts in some omnipotent way. There are prolife chapters and groups all over the country. Thousands of pro life pregnancy centers.
Changing the law DOES stigmatize things. When something becomes legal it becomes WAY more ok.
Don’t worry about unintended consequences and for heaven’s sake make killing children illegal.
