Question: Where do we go?
#1
Abortion goes the way SSM goes. There becomes universal acceptance of personhood laws or at least personhood-lite because people who were once only personally against abortion see there is no "laws against laws".
 
#2
Things will just automatically reset in 1972. States that have left their bans in place will continue to do so and states that have repealed will keep them repealed. It will be illegal in most states, but will slowly be liberalized.
 
#3
It will be really bad for everyone at first, but most states voting for Hillary will follow Roe, most Trump states will keep the ban, and maybe some Obama-Trump states will have it dealt with on a case by case basis. We will have a map, like we do with Ri
 
#4
Same as above, but abortion will be litigated in elections and legislative sessions again and again for years, if not decades, in many places.
 
#5
Eventually most places will push to the center and become "Pro-Voice" where abortion will be decided on a case by case basis.
 
#6
Eventually Roe soon gets replaced as soon as we get a D trifecta back, even if its only for the first couple a weeks the pregnancy is discovered or should have been discovered.

Roberts seems to care enough about the integrity of the court that I can definitely see him looking at a hastily brought case and either declining to hear it or ruling to keep Roe.

I would not be surprised to see rulings that narrow Roe and make it difficult to get abortions in many states. I'm still skeptical about it being overturned, entirely, at this point in time

If this happened, I'd like to see a national IRV referendum.

Question 1: When should abortion be banned?
A. 30 weeks
B. 24 weeks
C. 20 weeks
D. 12 weeks
E. 8 weeks
F. It shouldn't be banned

Question 2: What exceptions should there be?(Check all that apply)
A. Life of mother
B. Health of mother(extreme)
C. Health of mother(middle)
D. Health of mother(mild)
E. Rape
F. Incest
G. Write-in:


Each state would go with the results. Of course, my personal opinion on abortion is a federal ban at 16-24 weeks, with exceptions for rape, health of mother, and life of the mother, and states can ban it after 8 weeks, with those exceptions, as well as add exceptions such as incest.

You do know most women don't know they're pregnant at 8 weeks?

Sure, but that's a (sadly) common enough position.

I think 24 weeks or so is a reasonable restriction. 8 is too strict.
