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

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?

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.

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.

So, it is the business of the President if black people are being forced to sit in the back of buses but not if people of a certain age are having their brains sucked out and their limbs torn off?

Abortion will collapse suddenly when a few courageous acts are taken. At present, like all evil, it appears powerful and immoveable, which is why you evaluate my proposals as "outlandish." They are mere descriptions of what would be JUST actions, consistent with authentic Constitutional principles.

Jeane Kirkpatrick once predicted that it would take about another century of Cold War for the Soviet Empire to break up. She made this prediction about two weeks before the Berlin Wall was opened.
