If the Blue states refuse to go under the christofash whip hand, and the Rethugs do not go full force, then the Red states will start to ignore laws THEY do not agree with. Chaos ensues.
If the Rethugs use force, then you have a the real chance of kinetic violence, plus start to run the real and present danger of Blue state secession, which will also likely entail kinetic violence.

As in times before Roe V Wade, women will find a way. The rich will travel for procedures. The poor will die or be maimed through botched attempts.
