Koan is a lost soul. Needs to move to his beloved Nordic countries. Wonder how long it would be before they got tired of him

>> Every single abortion bill to make it legal has gotten over 50%, no matter where! I'm not sure what you think the relevance of your point is: "Half the people believe abortion should be 'legal' therefore let's just have the federal government decide it is?" That makes no sense. Actual numbers per Gallup. It is beyond clear that 50% +/- support limitations on legality which implies some rules imposed on a state-by-state basis. Which is what we have. The number supporting legal in all circumstances is around 35%, which implies that 35% want state law to decide there are no restrictions. From a rational standpoint (not a legal one) it seems to me the Court got it right: It is a hotly contested item, and states need to decide for themselves what their law will be. No one will be cut-from abortion, because there is still plenty of access, but it may be necessary to make a trip. But in half of states, the wild, wild west is still available for those who prefer it. Every woman can make her own decision. If she needs to travel out of state to get an abortion it isn't the end of the world. If proponents want to get the law changed in some states they're welcome to make a campaign issue/rallying point out of it. My sense is people will simply transition to birth control and medical abortions in the vast majority of situations. Problem solved. Non-issue.
