New York and California should have been expelled from the Union when they "legalized" abortion.

But, of course, they were "on the right side of history." Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter--four pro-abortion Presidents in a row before Reagan--the first explicitly pro-life President. And even Reagan didn't ACT on the words he wrote in "Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation." Reagan SAID that Roe was a bogus "interpretation" of the Constitution, and he even quoted Lincoln, saying that the Supreme Court does NOT have the authority to set policy for the nation, only the power to decide cases that come before it. But he didn't ACT, as President, as though he really believed Roe was a nullity.

When we can elect a President who will say that Roe is a nullity, and ACT as though it is a nullity, and put pressure on the governors to nullify it, we will be making progress.

I don't think the President should take the heat for something strictly in the hands of the supremes. They have passed the bogus buck, by not acting when Roe herself recanted her bogus testimonuy before the court. The supremes should have the guts to say they made a mistake and put the issue back into the hands of state legislatures, by dumping the roe v wade decision. Or will someone like a president have to force their hand?

This is comparable to OP statements which make anti-abortionists sound like fanatics. The harm done to America, and the whole world, by taking this ridiculous advice would have been incalculable.

I read in a conservative article some months back that abortion is now more or less legal in 45 states, absent the unfortunate current Supreme Court coercion. Should we expell all those?

This being an issue of conscience, when Row is, as I hope, reversed, it would be inappropriate for the President to, beyond expression of his opinion, "put pressure on" governors or state legislators. Instead it would be up to abortion opponents other than the President to put on the pressure. However, they had best not even try if they are going to shoot themselves in the foot with outlandish proposals.
