QFE....That is really sad they're doing that. The main point of it is to have a court declare it unconstitutional b/c of Roe V. Wade and then theyd try to appeal it to the Supreme Court, which would probably uphold the law, effectively ending abortion in any conservative state and eventually ending it when Congress passes a law.

But, even if this law passes, I doubt an appeal would make it to the Supreme Court. It would get shot down too far before the Supreme Court that it would be an embarassment to Roberts and Alit if they upheld it.

In my non-expert opinion, I think that another law or lawsuit will be more controversial and not flat-out banning aborting, and that's when they'd overturn wade. Ie. a state would pass a law requiring a husband's permission and then the Supreme Court would declare abortion not protected under the constitution.

But I really hope that doesnt happen. Hey Alito/Roberts, want to pretend to be a liberal for a few years?
