If they overturn it, it's just going to be illegal in states where it's already fucking impossible to get an abortion. It's going to be legal in states where it's not.
Maybe, maybe not. There's been a greater shift to federal police power under the Trump administration with DHS goons showing up in any city they feel like. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some executive order to close all abortion clinics enforced by federal boots.
I have no idea, I'm just saying we shouldn't expect what we had in the past to return because the opponents we're facing now are more radically ideological than before. Before, conservative politicians didn't give a fuck about abortions, it wasn't a conservative issue until conservatives lost the cultural war over segregation. Conservative politicians just played it up to cater to Falwell and his "Silent Majority" while Phyllis Schlafly wormed her bigoted ass through the GOP turning them into anti-abortion true believers over decades, finally living to see Trump win before dropping dead. Before, I don't think most conservative politicians had an honest intention of banning all abortions for everyone forever, but I think the new GOP is more far more radical and does actually want to ban all abortions for all people for all time.
There’s no maybe maybe not here, man. The Supreme Court is not gonna bless jackbooted thugs closing abortion clinics. That’s why they’ve always done it quietly.
Because the US doesn't oppress like that. It's always been about fucking over swaths of people while maintaining a veneer of respectability. We aren't descending into fascism--we're dealing with a more overt fascist than we normally tend to see. The Supreme Court always aims to appear respectable so when they further overturn Roe v. Wade, it's not going to ban abortions. It's just going to make it a state decision again.
Imagine thinking that a woman can get an abortion safely and easily in the vast majority of America
And it's about to get even harder and more illegal. Progress!

I don't know, though, nobody does I guess.

How do you know? Because that's what has always happened in the past?
