At least, if Roe is overturned, the pro-life states enacting laws will not be challenged and held unconstitutional . There will be states that will outlaw abortion. Then again there will be states that will be crazy "abortion" destinations. We will see abortion mills collecting  just over the borders of the pro-life states,  kind of like liquor stores and firework stands.

That's the problem.  States that have passed laws restricting abortion basically out of existence HAVE already been upheld without this ruling.  I'm sorry, but this is a huge setback for Pro Life, not a help.

Ladislaus, i'm not sure where you're coming from.  Since the 1970s, the conservative states have been in a yo-yo fight with Fed courts/SCOTUS over abortion.  They'd pass a law, then it would get approved/rejected in Fed courts, then either ignored/rejected in SCOTUS.  States would lose a law fight, then tweak the law a little and re-pass it, only to have another Fed/Scotus battle on the new law.  It's been never-ending.

The only pro-life laws that have "survived" are watered-down laws protecting around the 2-3 month, with all kinds of exceptions (i.e. rape).  This ruling will be a HUGE win for certain states (maybe 10?).  For many others (25?) it probably won't help them because they are ruled by neo-cons and they won't get any truly pro-life laws passed.  For the rest, the uber-liberal, it won't change at all.

For these 10 pro-life states, it will be a game-changer.

Excerpt from an analyst newsletter:


Quote
Progressive and Far Left groups are encouraging protests and political violence in response to the leaked Supreme Court ruling set to overturn Roe v Wade. Yesterday afternoon, Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the leaked docuмent was authentic and called for an investigation.

Meanwhile, efforts online ranged from organizing protests to calling for political violence. Some of the more extreme so-called “anti-fascist” accounts encouraged setting fires to churches, which were characterized as meeting places of conservatives, nationalists, and fascists.

There were several instances of violence overnight as Far Left groups took to the streets in Los Angeles. Protests have been largely peaceful, although unrest is likely to worsen heading into the weekend and again when the Supreme Court officially announces the ruling.

An important note: revolutionary anarchist social media accounts yesterday began re-circulating best practices for organizing and conducting direct action demonstrations, similar to activities during the George Floyd riots of 2020. …

I agree with Ladislaus on all the above.  I also read a comment this morning about Alito's draft that made me think--the upshot of the article was this: the Feds would be able to do anything to preserve the life of the unborn baby at any stage; to do anything.  This would give them the ability to ban home-births--because of the potential risk to the baby.  It could possibly be made illegal to have more than a certain number of children, or having children past a certain age because of the increased risk of fetal death, etc.  

I just thought it was an interesting viewpoint.  Of course these people are going to want to control ALL aspects of our lives!
