Roe v. Wade has been overturned today.
This subtopic specifically does not invite debate on the prohibition of abortion.
The question for debate is whether this sweeping decision allowing the States to outlaw abortion will lead to civil unrest and disrespect for the Court. My guess is, it will do both and will lead to women traveling from their homes in the South and much of the heartland of the United States to States that protect the 'right' for 50 years.
The 'abortion pill' will be banned in many States and the 'pro-choice' advocates will try to get the pill into those States where it will be a felony to possess it. I can envision armed militias at borders and around airports.
When the 18th Amendment prohibited Alcohol in 1919 it produced a new, illegal industry and related violence that lead to the passage of the 21st Amendment in 1933, repealing that Amendment.

Post #83Readers, take note that once again, RightReason failed to answer the question as to which they would save (I believe I asked the questions 4 times in my last post. That's a lot of dodging!). Admitting that they would save the 1 year old over the 5 blastocysts shows that the intrinsic value for just being human is not equal like they claimed before.
Since a blastocyst and a 1 year old do not have the same value, we cannot discuss abortion issues while pretending they have the same value. Now I'm off to go murder babies, because I'm pro women's choice.
The answer to the debate question is, we don't know.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU
