BREAKING: Roe v. Wade might be overruled or severely weakened by SCOTUS

[I’m not Stu]

The Mississippi 15 week abortion case will be heard by SCOTUS. Although John Roberts opposes abortion, I would guess he voted to deny cert to avoid the spotlight.

I'm fine with constitutional concealed carry and don't even see why that's controversial but overturning Roe would be pretty despicable. Probably gonna happen though.

There are also probably five votes for fetal personhood if such a case is heard. A hypothetical case on fetal personhood would probably be 5-4 with Roberts dissenting.

You should desensationalize the title a little bit. We don't know for sure yet how the court will rule, even if it's likely the court will go in one direction. Your title makes it sound like the court has already ruled in such a direction.

Maybe one of these works better:

"Supreme Court to hear Mississippi abortion case challenging Roe v. Wade"
"Supreme Court takes up major abortion case next term that could limit Roe v. Wade"
"Supreme Court To Consider Mississippi’s Abortion Ban In Move That Could Challenge Roe V. Wade"
"Supreme Court will hear an abortion case that could undo Roe v. Wade"

Only people who voted for Hillary Clinton on 11/8/2016 get to complain if they overturn Roe v. Wade.

What the hell was RBG thinking when she didn’t retire in 2013 or 2014.  Obama should have kept asking her to retire until she gave up.

[I’m not Stu]

I’m guessing Roberts wanted to wait after the 2022 midterm before hearing a major abortion case.

While it is a bit sensationalist, Stern notes that there's little reason to take the case other than overturning precedent since there have bene no split decisions among the circuit courts regarding the 15-week ban from MS.

[I’m not Stu]

I also believe Roberts would want to wait for a circuit split to hear such a case.

I'm honestly increasingly beginning to believe this is a good thing. It would drive D turnout up and R turnout down for the midterms.

And the women unable to get abortions in the meantime are just collateral damage?

Yes, it is. I seem to think Roberts voted to deny cert in a failed attempt to avoid boosting Democratic turnout.

[Biden his time]

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, what will happen? Do the states all revert to their original abortion laws?

What does the map look like?

Which will do more long-term damage to the country? A few months of abortion being harder to get, or Republicans winning big in 2022?

Surely after 2010 we should all know the answer by now.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, what will happen? Do the states all revert to their original abortion laws?

Basically, yes. Some states have "trigger laws" banning abortion that instantly go into effect if it is ever overturned.

I think you would see mass mobilisation of pro-choice Americans and a mass drain of demographic and economic drain from states where there would be default anti-choice legislation.

I think the GOP winning big does more long-term damage to the country.

So, Ohio, West Virginia, Missouri, Iowa are doomed economically?

It's going to be a lot longer than 3 months. It's not like a 55-47 senate or whatever can just overrule a Supreme Court decision. It will be years if not decades before abortion has a chance to become legal in every state again,  basically waiting to appoint enough justices to the Supreme Court who are willing to reverse the new precedent and getting the right case in front of them.

I think every conservative justice except Roberts also supports fetal personhood.

Certainly not! Those states are doing fantastic now. Every day one of my friends at the bagel shop says, boy, I can't wait til my number comes up and I can move to Huntington, WV or Branson, MO!

I think states with punitive abortion law will see both economic boycotts and a drain of young people. Women have much more social mobility than they did pre Roe.

'Big Pro-Life' is well connected and powerful but it is not popular. Repealing Roe ends the grift.

[SnowLabrador]

Well, I guess we're screwed.
