State abortion laws megathread

[Stranger in a strange land]

If Kavanaugh is the deciding vote to keep abortion legal, is it the greatest irony in American history?

Note: I'm assuming this question is moot since I don't see Roberts or Gorsuch overturning it either, but it's a fun hypothetical.

Yeah, there is no way they are going to overturn Roe v Wade. It will just end up like Ireland's ban where public opinion will shift in favor of abortion and it will just become legal again and then the issue will become politically irrelevant.

Also, if the GOP does actually succeed in overturning Roe v Wade, within 2-3 cycles it goes from being a good issue for them to being a horrible one, as very soon, the media will be full of stories about women dying in back-alley abortions, conservative states hanging women for having abortions, and women waking up in handcuffs after suffering miscarriages and being forced to carry non-viable, dangerous pregnancies to term.

It's already a losing issue, but yeah, it would get even worse.

It doesn't seem to have hurt them in any recent election though...
