State abortion laws megathread

If Kavanaugh is the deciding vote to keep abortion legal, is it the greatest irony in American history?

Note: I'm assuming this question is moot since I don't see Roberts or Gorsuch overturning it either, but it's a fun hypothetical.

Yeah, there is no way they are going to overturn Roe v Wade. It will just end up like Ireland's ban where public opinion will shift in favor of abortion and it will just become legal again and then the issue will become politically irrelevant.

Also, if the GOP does actually succeed in overturning Roe v Wade, within 2-3 cycles it goes from being a good issue for them to being a horrible one, as very soon, the media will be full of stories about women dying in back-alley abortions, conservative states hanging women for having abortions, and women waking up in handcuffs after suffering miscarriages and being forced to carry non-viable, dangerous pregnancies to term.

They would consider all that a positive though.

As expected the unconstitutional law is blocked, freedom wins for now.

SCOTUS might protect Alabama's law. Hopefully the SCOTUS takes Alabama's bait.

No they won't, take the bait expand Roe.

SCOTUS upholds Kentucky's ultrasound law and refuses to strike down the KY law.

Means that the liberals don't see a way to move the conservative justices on notifications, discouragement laws, and so on. i suspect the liberals are bracing for a showdown that guts Roe in all but letter while the conservative justices are preparing to basically render Roe a dead letter in redder states. I assume Breyer and Co are holding their powder in reserve rather than die on this hill.

I hope there's already a majority opinion to strike down Roe in all but name and the liberals on the Court know this and are trying to basically accept it but influence the text. RBG's retirement might be the deal that nails that majority opinion into stone.

The pro-life movement is one of the most successful conservative movements in American history.

Conservatives prepared to hang themselves on the blood of women, not surprising. The US will never be Gilead no matter how much the movement wants.
