If it were up to the states....? (Abortion)

Yes, Supersoulty is correct. PA in general is more strict on the abortion issue. That's why they all come over to New Jersey.

NARAL gives us an F.  Thanks for NJ.

Next question is could a particular county in a state overturn it's restrictive laws.  Off the bat in PA I know Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Philadelphia would do it in a heartbeat. 

[TeePee4Prez]

Few states would ban it entirely.  Some southern states and Utah would restrict it to rape/incest, others like NM and PA it would only be first trimester.  The bulk of states would have it legal but restricted, with only a few liberal havens offering it on demand.

That's probably right for PA.  Thing is SE Penn Democrats and Republicans (minus the NE Philly delegation) would unite in Harrisburg and fight quite hard to keep it.

Doesn't mean they would win. PA is a Pro Life state. Now sit back, take a deep breath and accept that.

I don't think some legislators want to alienate people within their own party.  There are a lot of pro-choice Republicans in SE Penn.  Likewise there are pro-life Democrats out west.  There would likely be a bi-partisan compromise.

Red- Generally Legal
Grey- Mixed.  Legislative battlegrounds.
Blue- Opposed except life at stake and rape.
