Neither side will change abortion laws.
The Dems and the GOP are using it as a political football to get you to send money and rile you up.
The (Federal) law will stay exactly as it is.
Until and unless the current system is overthrown. End the two parties and you can change it.
Both sides know that they can farm you suckers over the issue. They just have different fields full of potted plants to reap money from.
Pick a side! Any side!! It doesn't matter, because everyone pays.... them.
I believe you are correct. I came to that same conclusion back in the second Reagan administration, when I read an extraordinarily "snotty" news article (not an editorial-this was published as straight news)in my local paper, regarding a change in the pro life tactics. Back then (mid 1980s) multiple states would pass very strict anti abortion laws, which governors would then (usually) sign, knowing the USSC would shoot them down. Then when Reagan was reelected-suddenly those bills stopped COLD. It had been an easy way to get the "prolife vote", but when it looked like there was a chance Reagan could get a few more judges on the USSC...well, suddenly those state legislatures and governors didn't seem too interested in pro life bills any more. Passing them was now risky, and as prochoice people also got worried at what might happen if Reagan got a few judges...Well, those governors and state legislators got worried about losing THEIR votes. The career and would be career politicians wanted to "balance" the voters, passing pro life bills they knew would get shot down, to get the pro life vote without worrying the pro choice vote, who trusted the USSC to keep those bills from being enacted. Anyhow, that article was all about the cessation of strict prolife amendments to state constitutions just "suddenly and unaccountably" vanishing, very sarcastic and sneering but in an understated, underhand way. (I wish I'd cut that article out and kept it; I am curious as to whose name was on the byline. It's stuck with me all these years.
Of course prochoice politicians do the same thing : They use the fear of abortion being declared illegal to get votes and donations.
The abortion issue is by no means the only important issue which is nothing but a game to politicians and bureaucrats, no matter how impassioned are voters about it. :-(
