Re: Roe v. Wade.

I don't think even a conservative court would overturn the decision now, but what would happen if they did?

Would women stop getting abortions?

No, I don't think so, they would just have to go elsewhere. Mexico, Canada or the Caribbean are all places they could go. I think that even abortion ships in international waters would spring up.

Now you might say that this would only be available to "rich" women. But I think that many health plans would cover it. It's a financial decision and it's cheaper to send a woman from L.A. to Mexico for an abortion than it is to pay for childbirth and baby care. Right? And even if health plans didn't cover it, I'm sure that women's groups would get billions of dollars of contributions to fund "abortion trips."

Sound silly? Well so was prohibition and after the silly law was on the books for a while it was changed. I doubt that a ban on abortion would last either.
