You cannot legislate morality.

Yes, I would like abortion to be banned everywhere. But political matters involving laws need to be decided by People.

I always thought the plan was to return Abortion to the states. We have done that. Massachusetts and Oklahoma are probably going to approach the matter differently. For me, that is the whole idea of our federated union of the several states.

I think the GOP makes a serious error if it now pushes for one national approach to abortion or rejects a state-level decision on the matter.

ALL legislation is morality!

Fully agree. We can’t argue for fifty years that States should decide, then call for a national ban when things don’t go our way.

Shri Roe was reversed, laws in nearly all states reverted back to what they were 50 years ago. In many states, that would be FAR more restrictive than what the majority want. This issue will hurt R’s for years, until they get things modified.

Yep, and since many/most? states allow the initiative and the referendum you are going to see some generally conservative states pass pro-abortion laws. But some will not. But after a half-century it has been allowed to be a political issue rather than a command from nine unelected Justices.

Certainly can legislate punishment for MURDER, which is what abortion is.

Ah, never mind. Doesn't matter. This country is doomed to become a living hell. Go ahead, abort all your kids if you want.
