It would be a wonderful thing if a state legislature had the nads to outlaw abortion. Now THAT would be a meaningful issue.

And you think that wouldn't turn into a firefight? No; this one is as good as you can get and still keep the peace.

And you think that wouldn't turn into a firefight?

No I don't. Even though SCOTUS would overturn the state's law, I can't picture the president sending in the troops to keep the abortion clinics open, at least I can't picture Dubya doing that.

We're not talking secession here, we're just talking state sovereignty on an individual issue.
