'Roe is dead': Ohio and Kentucky abortion laws preview a future without it

27. Law Of Unintended Consequences

or, be careful what you ask for. TBH, I have no idea what happens if Roe get's struck down and neither does anyone else, no matter what they try and tell you.

I'm sure a lot of folks will conclude it will just go back to the way it was before, but a good portion of the folks who were around pre-Roe are no longer here (they've passed on). So the question is, what do the rest of us do?

I sincerely doubt there will be a night and day change. For folks to think there aren't going to be some very upset folks is utter nonsense. What happens when the first person is arrested? What if local authorities won't enforce directives from the states legislatures? What happens when cases go to trial? All unknowns at this point.

I suspect in this age of interconnectedness, there are going to be a lot of folks working against any more restrictions. Going to be hard to enforce state-to-state differences if abortion becomes interstate commerce (for healthcare). More legal tests and more disillusionment with our judiciary would be my guess.

I'd push for state-wide referendums on the subject. At least we could paint how in or out of touch politicians and judges are with the general population.
