I suppose some states would make abortion illegal should Roe vs Wade be overturned. I doubt it.
Oncit upon a time I was a very liberal woman and no I'm not proud of that fact. What was I thinking? Anyway, I came of age when Roe versus Wade was overturned and by me it was as it should be. Men don't get pregnant was how I thought. Also affecting my influence, I had an Aunt die from an illegal abortion just months before Roe versus Wade was overturned. Yes that DID happen and the popular thinking, or at least mine, was it was simply better to have abortion legal than to kill both an adult and an unborn baby via the available illegal means.
As I grew older, more mature some would say, I became horrified at the abuse of abortion. And somewhere along the way more advanced and convenient forms of birth control became available. Damn, they have patches you can wear and not have to worry about it but once a month!
There became, more than ever, less and less of a reason to have an abortion. Still abortions were on the rise! Women started using it for birth control. Then there's the abomination of a partial birth abortion.
This more than anything totally shocks the hell out of my generation, that generation of women who demanded unfettered access to abortion. The decent amongst had no idea, no clue at all, that it would come to what it has become.
THEN we have entire industries springing up making big bucks from abortions. We have bureaucrats and cushy political appointments all coming about for, well I don't know for what. But when a politician can give out a job or a favored position, or allocate funds to a favored political group, then he or she WILL.
It all became self-sustaining. Worse. It became so that the limit was pushed more and more. Those limits became sickening. I read a story of a woman expecting triplets who had two of the babies aborted because, in her words, she didn't want to have to "shop at Wal-mart the rest of her life."
Sure I'm only one person but I've been there from the beginning through today and I've seen all sides. But there's lot of baby boomer women like me. And from my admittedly anecdotal experience, women are not all that adamant about keeping abortion legal. Us women know that there's hardly any excuse for getting pregnant and we also know, insert wink here, that many so-called accidentals pregnancies are really not accidents at all. If you're not wearing that patch thing that dang you should be using a condom due to sexual disease transmission concerns, such concerns not all that prevalent during my post Roe-vs. Wade era.
And partial birth abortion just horrifies most everyone around who understand how it works.
Abortion is the last bastion of the Moonbat liberals. I'm not convinced it's as fixed in the psyche of this country as they think it is.
