A substantial number of states would keep abortion on demand legal.

Should a newly constituted Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the abortion controversy will be far from over. The abortion question would most likely again become a matter of state legislation. But unlike in the era prior to Roe v. Wade, a substantial number of states would keep abortion on demand legal. Quite obviously residents of states where abortions are banned will travel to states where it is permitted. Any governmental effort to regulate such activity would raise other constitutional issues pertaining to the right to freely travel from state to state.

Anything that bush and the repubs do that hurts Democrats, also hurts republicans. They are suffering as much as Dems are. They just can't bring themselves to shout "och!" But, will they have the sense to vote Democratic when the time comes?

1. not really a lounge thread

2. bush's choice for Supreme Court

was brought up in the lounge earlier. A lot of people are worried about his choice and what it could mean for abortion rights. I would hate to see our right to make our own decision on this matter taken away by our country, but at least we could still have this right in our individual state.

5. That's fine

But as the other poster said, it's not a lounge thread. Probably should be posted in GD. We try to keep it light in here, you know, bowel movement habits, favorite movies, songs etc. I'm just sayin...

3. Affluent women who lived in states with restrictive abortion laws

would be able to travel to other states. It's the poorest, the youngest, and the most isolated women who would suffer.

4. New York and New Jersey maybe California that's it
