Even if Roe is overturned, abortion in some form or another will remain legal in most states. For me, it's always been the principal of the thing, i.e., that Roe is a constitutional abomination, not that overturning it would stop most abortions. That's why I've always been amazed how strongly the Dems fight for Roe - it's as if they don't believe their own rhetoric that their position on abortion is the clear majority position. In my state, and many others, overturning Roe would make virtually no difference in abortion law, much as I hate to say it.

I understand that; I was just joking around, hoping to knock off a few more of the idiots on DU.

I've always said that show one 13-year old impregnated by her own father and unable to obtain an abortion and the sound bytes will flash, the soccer moms will wail and the libs will finally have an argument.

Not that the practice hasn't become an abomination what with it being a federal entitlement bestowed by nine unelected justices and no state oversight.

Yes, we need to follow our Constitution. That's why I really like Mr. Alito, soon to be JUSTICE ALITO!

But then you can work at the state level - with the state congresspeople to work to overturn it.

Doing that is much easier to pressure the congresspeople when they live down the street, instead of in DC.
