      Yeah I have more respect for the bald "Roe was wrongly decided so should be overturned, whatever the consequences" (wrong but straightforward) to the "overturning Roe will lead to greater democratic comity as issue is sorted out in states." I mean, that's just a fantasy.https://twitter.com/LarryGlickman/status/1523472484162764801 …

      I also think the claim that Roe kickstarted polarization doesn’t fit with the history. All kinds of backlashes were well under way before that decision. /5 pic.twitter.com/omvf36Oj7J

      Taking away people's rights is a serious thing, one that will inevitably produced anger. All the more so in the case of reproductive freedom, a right literally exercised by tens of millions of women in last few decades. Even on week into leak, we're seeing rising anger.

      The conservative legal movement's longstanding claim is that overturning Roe is a 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 solution: it makes abortion a state issue so NY can be liberal & Mississippi conservative. But that ignores how impossibility of keeping issue within state borders.

      Once Roe is overturned, all sorts of inter-state conflicts will bedevil USA: can woman seeking abortion cross state line? Can Plan B & other birth control? There's no reason to think that two sides with firm rights-based claims will let other side do as they please in states.

      Like the man said: "A house divided against itself cannot stand... It will become all one thing, or all the other."

          The endgame is to make it a federal ban. Then the interstate bickering will be moot.

          Yes, I read it! I'll just note that we're already seeing lots of political pushback to whittle back marriage equality (on religious liberty grounds) and birth control (on argument that Plan B, IUDs and even pill are abortifacients). So I don't see these as settled.

          Roe has been in the works for 20 years or more and is the first wedge issue chosen to start the conversion of America into a Christian theocracy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_theology …

          Has anyone proposed admitting DC as a state where abortion is legal, and PR as a state where it is banned? How about a gag rule in the House?
