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?

There's no guarantee that the supreme court would uphold such a decision. We've already seen Alito drive the radical righties nuts with his first decision. It would appear he is more even keeled than they had hoped for. Which by the way really pisses off the lefties too. So much entertainment to be had in the world of politics. I am one of those crazy bastards that thinks that the government should keep out of medical decisions and reproductive issues at all costs. This was more than evidenced by the whole Terri Schiavo fiasco as well as the case that preceded Roe v Wade that involved a state (Connecticut maybe?) trying to outlaw birth control even for married folks. A truly outrageous crock of shit that never should have happened. Politicians are so arrogant.
That being said, I don't believe abortion should be used for anything but the most extreme cases such as the very rare occasion when the mothers life is in jeopardy, along with rape, incest, molestation, etc. since we don't need that kind of sickness in the gene pool. There is little or no excuse for accidental pregnancies in the 21st century. Then again, I also lean in the direction of mandatory birth control for welfare moms and hard core enforcement of child support laws.
