In reply to the discussion: When I think about the probable fate of Roe v Wade, my blood boils! [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)37. just saw this:
When a patient arrived this spring at the only abortion clinic in western Arkansas, the doctor had startling news: A new state law had gone into effect, and clinics could no longer perform abortions via medication in the state.
Less than a month later, a judge suspended the law, which is now the focus of a legal fight as Arkansas tries to reinstate it. The fight in Arkansas could help define the looming legal battle over abortion, 45 years after the Supreme Court made it a constitutional right.
There are 14 abortion cases currently before federal appeals courts, including the Arkansas case, and legal experts say any of them could be the first to reach the Supreme Court after Justice Anthony Kennedys retirement. Others include a parental consent law in Indiana, a ban on a common second-trimester abortion procedure in Alabama, and a requirement in Kentucky that ultrasounds be displayed and described.

The hypocrisy is that many of these men will make sure their women have access to abortion.....

It costs them nothing, lets them feel morally superior, allows them to slut shame

I don't think it would be quite that fast. Unless the fix is already in.
