[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, with so much political sorting in this country, especially by state, I'm not convinced overturning Roe will be a big significant political event. Yes, it's possible there will be marginal shifts in suburban purple districts. But if local laws reflect he prevailing local opinion, we may see very little effect.[/quote]

Sure, it's not going to be a big deal in, say, Alabama.  But it will be huge in a bunch of states.  For example, VA now has a GOP legislature and governor.  Those guys are going to be under huge pressure to ban abortion.  Abortion will be completely illegal in WI, MI, and AZ based on laws that pre-date Roe and were not enforced because of it.  Those states are about 50/50 R/D, so this issue is going to scramble politics there.  PA has a GOP legislature that will be under pressure to ban abortion.  Currently there is a Democratic governor, but there's an election this year and if a Republican wins, he'd be under pressure to sign a ban, so it will scramble politics there too.    [/quote]
