I see some states have codified legal abortions in their state constitutions like Kansas and I believe California is moving in that direction. The real battle however will be in granting personhood to the unborn. There is also a test case in Arizona that the ACLU is presently challenging. I can see some states declaring the unborn fetus a person in their state constitutions. At some point SCOTUS will have to decide that sticky issue as to when the fetus could be considered a person or not. They have already ruled that corporations have the same equal protections under the 14th amendment as individual persons do. I find it hard that 9 justices could rule that and actual human being is not a person. The challenge is at what point in development would 14th amendment equal protections for the unborn kick in.

This is profoundly false. She did believe in eugenics, but was different than most in that she did not discuss it in racial terms, rather economic and intellectual terms. While still repulsive in retrospect, it has been rewritten by right-wing individuals as a way to discredit Planned Parenthood. Interestingly, Sanger opposed abortion, and many of her actions around the world were designed to protect the unborn, by providing access to quality birth control so they could make their own rational decision on when it was best to have children.Also, as opposed to racial qualifications for eugenics, the group she adamantly opposed and found to be the lowest form, were religious fanatics, who due to religious beliefs opposed birth control and in her opinion over-populated the nation with idiots that would ultimately hurt society.
If they had aborted you as a 9-week fetus, would they have killed you? Would you still have been around seven months later?
The unintended consequences of this are mind-bogglingly stupid.They would, for example, quite likely end in vitro fertilization and other forms of reproductive assistance.Or what if such a clinic goes out of business? Who births and cares for the embryos?Since obesity is a health risk for an embryo, should overweight women be charged with child endangerment if they become pregnant?Does a pregnant woman have a right to receive parental support (retroactively, if necessary) from the baby's father?Do businesses need to cover prenatal care for women impregnated by their workers?Can a child sue his mother for being around secondhand smoke while pregnant?
Do Woodrow Wilson next, on the next episode of defend undefendable progressives.
One more step toward Christian nationalist fascism.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/26/second-civil-war-us-abortion"The question is no longer whether there will be a civil conflict in America. The question is how the sides will divide, and who will prevail."
The reality is, the great majority of Americans have really similar views on most issues, and very, very few of us are ready and willing to kill our neighbors over the slim differences.
Correct .. we're beyond the usual civil war with guns and ammo. It'll start with the GOP winning (or not) in 2024 and California seceding, with the GOP eager to remove their 55 electoral votes from ever contaminating an election again. No shots fired, just a lot of lawyers. And don't give me any of this "it can't be done" crap. We've learned this week .. past laws are flexible depending on who is in power. Also, it would make for great TV.
In defense of her state's ban on abortions, even in cases of rape, incest or saving the mother's life, South Dakota's governor says it's to "build stronger families."Because nothing builds a strong family like dying after birthing your rapist's child.These people are monsters.https://www.mediaite.com/news/gov-kristi-noem-defends-south-dakotas-abortion-ban-without-any-exceptions-to-build-stronger-families-not-reason-for-another-tragedy-to-occur/
I'm thinkin' y'all are wrong. The divide is too great and its a bridge too far. Hopefully I'm wrong, hey?
There was one, and he was killed by right wing extremists.
Not sure what Woodrow Wilson has to do with your patently false statements regarding Sanger.
