Couldn't get past the first page but public opinion is ~70/30 to uphold Roe. It makes no sense for 9 people to go against that. & it makes no sense for a Democratic majority to not preserve it now.
No matter where you fall, it doesn't make any sense to go against the majority on an issue like this.
Let's pay attention to crime rates in these no-abortion states in about, say, 18 years.
An unwanted fetus that is *not* aborted typically develops into an unwanted child...who is much more likely to grow up to be your mugger, burglar, rapist, or murderer than your curer of cancer.

I am a father of daughters. If one gets pregnant after a night at a frat party, I’d like her to have easy access to a safe and legal abortion as a backup to any birth control they may be using.
Unfortunately, one is going to school in a red state they may very well ban abortions.
I am prepared for her to keep it. But I’d like the option available to them.
The option is only available to elected officials of a certain political party.
Nice, another thread where the "Up/Down" votes clearly show how far left this message board is. Sometimes this place makes CNN look like Breitbart.
not surprising the board leans left, runners tend to be pencil-neck betacucks. its why everyone here always trashes the true alphas of the sport for being 'controversial.'
When you have a clearly politicised Supreme Court - as this draft decision shows - that is but one more nail in the coffin of a functioning democracy. As commentators are now suggesting, it will be gone in the US by the end of this decade.
Sending our country back to the stone age to own the libs!!

Your issue is with the American public, not this message board. Regressive policies are not generally popular, despite what republican safe spaces tell you.
A majority of Americans say the Supreme Court should uphold Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion, a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted last week finds. With the Supreme Court poised to overturn the right to abortion, the survey finds that 54 percent of Americans think the 1973 Roe decision should be upheld while 28 percent believe it should be overturned — a roughly 2-to-1 margin.

Ok, should we kill the existing muggers, burglars, rapists and murderers today?
why look! An Abortion thread. I haven't seen one of these for two decades...Like on Runners World message boards.
I wonder if the Evangelicals will win everyone over to their viewpoints. I guess it does't matter because if they don't they will put in prison those young women that want to choose for themselves. And the mistresses and side chicks of the holy rollers and clergy will get their procedures done in private.

Abortion was very common in the stone age, along with rape, cannibalism, and slavery.

Your daughters are far more likely to engage in high-risk behavior if abortions are available than if they are not. That is the fundamental failure of abortion as a policy. You should send your daughters to college in Utah. They have the lowest out of wedlock birthrate and one of the lowest abortion rates in the country. Policy influences behavior.

maybe teach your daughter not to be a slut?
Its always about controlling others. The right does not believe in freedom or liberty at all. No positive vision for the future, just hate for hate's sake.

And were about to have a similar level of abortion, as bans dont seem to impact abortion rates, just stone age level care where women die in droves like they did before Roe

your belief is that the whole country should become like Utah and anyone who lives a different lifestyle isnt just a bad person, but something that should be categorically illegal?
Someday I hope to convince republicans that freedom and liberty are worth protecting.
Many, if not most, are not christian. We dont want to live in your alt right, blended evangelical mysteryland. Why do your preferences determine the law?
