I'm curious... what do you (US) people think would be the actual effect, in real life, if Roe vs Wade were overturned and (presumably) abortion was effectively illegal? It wouldn't be effectively illegal. It was legal in most states pre Roe and we would revert to that. There would be big fights in the states and we'd still end up with a mixed bag. The main legal issue would eventually be whether it was legal to transport a minor across a state line to get an abortion. Choicers would start funding transport for poor women to places where they could get abortions. The better off would go to destination resorts/clinics. There would also be a lot of effort put into non-surgical abortion techniques, which could operate under the radar in abolitionist states. The lifers can't stop abortion with anything short of a constitutional amendment.
