[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread now that Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed to the SC.  What should we expect when Roe v. Wade is overturned?  Will the police be required to investigate miscarriages?  Will women be charged with a crime if they have an illegal abortion?  What was life like pre-Roe?[/quote]

It’s hard to compare since the technology is so different now. Most abortions happen in the first trimester and there is now an effective and very cheap to make pill for that. There are apps and emails mobile phones that can connect you to a dr. from any part of the country in a minute. Drinking under 21, smoking pot, and doing heroin or taking opioids when you don’t medically need them are all illegal yet very easy for people to do (realize pot laws are changing but you know what I mean).

I don’t want to sound casual - I don’t want abortion to be illegal in several states - but its going to be hard to regulate most first trimester abortions in a country that is seeing more tech advances and fewer regulations around telehealth.   The other reality is there is no law that says SCOTUS has to have 9. Dems can pack the courts when there is a change in power and reverse some stuff. It’s going to be harder moving forward to act out these culture wars in the courts.
