Thread Name: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
Much earlier on the list, John Hardly opined that no state would make the procedure illegal if R v W were overturned.
Au contraire, mon ami. In many states, my own dear Wisconsin included, the pre-1972 laws outlawing abortion in all forms were never rescinded and would immediately be rendered enforceable with a new USCt decision overturning Roe. Whether or not they would, in fact, be enforced is the more appropriate political question. In the Bible Belt, in the Rust Belt, in the Grain Belt (no, not the beer), who can say????
