That's a great sentiment, but IMO this issue will never be put to rest. Again, IMO it's better solved at the state level so each side of the issue has a way to deal with it. Even though some states will try to outlaw abortion altogether, I predict most red states will gravitate toward the Mississippi standard.I don’t, necessarily. Earlier in another thread I felt the decision was correct as I thought it was a states issue.
HOWEVER……..I also realize making it a states issue is not going to solve anything. There will likely be large discrepancies in laws among the states. If Congress decides the matter on the Federal level, it will at least establish a single criteria that applies to all. Hopefully it will be a “middle ground” that won’t please everyone, but at least be somewhat acceptable. Even though I still think it is a states issue, I also believe Congress will ultimately need to get involved for the sole reason of putting the abortion issue (somewhat) to rest.
It was not a matter of if…but when….Roe would be overturned.
That said, I have a federalist philosophy, so I naturally think from a legal perspective it should be with the states, and that's why I was asking,
