If Roe falls, not much is gonna change. Medical and moral exceptions will likely be hammered out over time and abortion by mail will become a thing. Women are already pretty good at avoiding pregnancy. All of us know what causes it.
It won't be the first time women have been treated badly by politicians and won't be the last.
That's what I said.
I think that's a fairly realistic and cheerful assessment of the situation. The predictions that call for riots and mass migration of red-state women into more liberal blue states seem a bit less likely and quite frankly, not cheerful at all.
As far as pink waves go...from the numbers it looks like it's kind of slow to form up. Women are working so hard to try to make ends meet in this economy they haven't got time to worry much about abortion.
There will certainly be protests when the SCOTUS announces its decision. But violent counter-protestors...? Not likely. Riots...? Nope. Will they storm the Supreme Court building hoping to turn over the court's decision through violence? Nope.
There is nothing the President or his wobbly Congress can do about a Supreme Court decision. But a Supreme Court that legislates major, controversial, partisan law from the bench is going to lose its credibility. And without credibility and the respect of all the American people it becomes just another arbitrary ruling body that the people have no control over.
Priests in robes making decisions based on holy scribblings rather than the Constitution.
