#23What's next on the agenda? gay marriage being overturned? interracial marriage?
likely both. contraceptives next. capitalism and imperialism require a lower caste of workers to turn the gears of the machine--domestic supply of babies needs to be higher for those machines to feast upon.
they want immigrants not natural citizens, you can pay an immigrant less for five generations

#24Now it's down to the individual States. Need an abortion? Drive to California.
Oh you're from Texas? Better pray nobody finds out you went to California for that abortion & reports you to the morality police for the $10,000 bounty
Simple solution: don't go back to Texas. Let the exodus from such regressive states begin. Emigration is the ultimate way to vote with your wallet.

#28If the right to abortion is deemed an important right to protect at federal level then Congress should have the courage to legislate.
I am not a lawyer at all but looking at descriptions of Row v. Wade the feeling I have is that the Supreme Court of the time wanted to rule in favour of abortion rights and stretched the Constitution as much as it could in order to justify its decision, which is why that decision has always been under attack, IMHO.
This is an eminently political issue and thus it calls for a political decision by Congress (assuming they do want a federal law on this...)
In the meantime, an 'industry' will develop in 'liberal' states for those who can travel to them.

On that topic, I wonder how much immigration from Latin American countries impacted this?
People who identify as Hispanic are nearing 20% of the US population - and the vast majority of those come from predominately Catholic countries and many see religion as a much more central part of their life and worldview than other Americans.
