Oh, wait. Before you could realistically place yourself in that position, you'd have to actually move back to a real state. I forgot they allow you guys to self-govern... (haha)

Fuck you, prick. This speck will be a state by the time I'm through with it....btw, the mayor wants all subsuquentmayors to be called "governor."

I didn't get that next part about it being a right...
BUT, your next statement, about "questioning the degree to which a state really needs to entitle anybody to an abortion," is directly in line with my libertarian solution. I told you I'd convert you, buddy. Welcome to the dark side!

I think the debate revolves around what rights women have to perform this procedure on their bodies. If it
were an entitlement, or an absolute freedom, than it would be criminal to restrict it in various states, right? My argument (probably not too unlike your own) is that this entitlemen doesn't exist.

but I know that were Roe to go away, the lawsuits that would immediately choke the legal system of any state that tried to restrict abortion at all, as well as the political rioting that would ensue in every governing body in the country, would lock our nation down completely.
That is why we've allowed Roe to live so long after it was proven to be such bad law. The consequences of fixing it now would be deadly. The best we can hope for at this point is to learn from that mistake and try our best not to let SCOTUS put us in this kind of situation over any other issue.

I think groups like PP would have to pick their battles. They would have to pick the legislatures where they could secure friendly legislation in the aftermath of a Roe reversal, and they obviously wouldn't start with the south.
