Over half off Americans believe abortions should be banned after 15 weeks. If Roe v. Wade is overturned I'm sure some states will do this. But other states are going to allow full term babies to be aborted. Either way abortion isn't going anywhere if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Roe v. Wade was not a legal decision. It was a political decision to stop the clamor. Just like the Muhammad Ali decision. Ali beat people to a pulp for a living but said he was against violence to get out of serving in the military. The Supreme Court let Ali go. It was not a legal decision. It was a political decision to appease blacks.
