I'm sorry, but some of you guys really need to look at what Roe v Wade really says. There's plenty of allowances for individual states to set up education and notification requirements however they choose. It's still very bad law, and on that grounds I wish it would be overturned. I do wish for more states to utilize their rights within Roe to implement some education requirements... If you feel the need to take a life, I think I'm Ok with an assuption you might need a refresher course on it's value.
Personally, I think a society that clings to abortion "rights" as much as does ours is pretty sick. I once knew a mentally retarded girl that had an abortion ala wooden spoon per her parents on the kitchen table back when abortion was banned here in Georgia, but I'm pretty sure it's obvious there was some much more fucked up stuff going on in that particular household at that particular time. I'm not quite ready to admit that the ban on abortion was the true evil there.
I also do not believe there should be a fedral ban on abortion, however. The nation is pretty much split on the subject, as is pretty much every state. What in the world is accomplished with one rule, either way, when it's governing such a sensitive and divisive part of life? Oh yeah... I guess it keeps us fighting and distracted... Governments have a long history of this kind of thing, don't they?
If any of you are so sure that were Roe overturned tomorrow you'd suddenly find yourself amongst a group of animals with no regard for lives of mothers, I'm thinking the problem doesn't really lie in law. The problem is your neighbors... and quite possibly your view of most other people. Even something as drastic as overturning Roe would not necessarily mean abortion would be made illegal under any circumstances everywhere. If each of us is so sure that this one particular thing is so pivotal to life itself, either way, shouldn't we be ready to offer the practice up to the Gods of competition, via the Republic of States in which we live, in order to finally prove the "other side" definitively wrong?
Everything else being just the same as it is now, were Roe to be overturned tonight at midnight, wouldn't it be fun to advance ahead about 10 years and see the correlation between which states outlawed abortion and which states became better or worse places to live, in a general sense?

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
