Maybe it would be funny living in a country with babies crawling around everywhere.

those who can afford it will travel to where abortion is legal. So really it's only banning abortion for poor people so that's OK.

Actually, even if RvW was overturned, would it not then be up to individual states to legislate?

Yes, it would by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #13 Thu Feb 22, 2007 at 11:08:13 AM EST
IIRC, close to half of them had already legalized abortion before Roe v Wade. That decision energized and politicized the right wing evangelicals. Leaving it up to the states arguably would have resulted in the US being a good deal less right wing, politically, over the past 30 years or so.

Would turn the US into a sane, normal state rather than the stupid polarized shit of whatever the hell it is now.

abortion has been around as long as prostitution.

you think some silly little law is going to stop it?

It wont stop it by Herring (2.00 / 0) #18 Thu Feb 22, 2007 at 11:55:07 AM EST
Might stop the less well off getting it safely though. The stat I have heard is that 70,000 women die every year from botched back-street abortions. There seem to be some people who wouldn't lose a moment's sleep if they made that number higher.

we'll just create privatized prisons with no governmental oversight to house these deviant women and let the free market dictate how they're treated.

70,000? by debacle (2.00 / 0) #48 Thu Feb 22, 2007 at 06:27:26 PM EST
I think that number is tainted with shit, because someone pulled it straight from their ass.
