Default Re: A Looming Republican Fissure?

You seem to overlook the fact that overturning Roe v Wade only returns the abortion lawmaking decisions back to the states. People in the poll you cited probably think that the court will now start making up laws outlawing abortions instead. This is not the case, they will simply return things where they belong, in the hands of the legislatures.

The liberal states will see no changes because they will continue to authorize wiping out babies at the mother's whim.

Conservative states already have all the restrictions currently allowed (parental notifications etc.) If some outlaw abortion, travel to another state will return to the equation.

Political decisions should be made by political branches of government (legislatures). We need not be afraid of politicaql decision making. It is better than a few judges making up rights that never existed by fiat. Do not fear democracy.
