I’ve just been reading about.... shakes her head

Possibly. It sounds like they will shift it back to being a state by state issue, so abortion will become illegal in some states, legal in others, restricted to the pint of unavailable in others, basically a hodgepodge

Nothing has actually happened. A draft decision, which appears to be genuine, was leaked from the Supreme Court. If it goes as written, it will be as Weniki said.

I tend to think it is some kind of political gamesmanship that the document was “leaked”, but then I’m a cynic about all things government related

I think that's likely, and it could have been leaked by either side.

I’m spouting off like I know stuff when all I’ve done is read The NY Times briefing. I guess that’s worth the paper it’s printed on in my email inbox

If overturned, it appears only 22 of 50 states will still allow abortions. Other than the East and West coasts it looks like they will be accessible in only Illinois and Minnesota.

From the NY Times:

I'm pretty sure WI will flip because both houses are overwhelmingly red. We do have a Dem governor but the legislature stripped or weakened a lot of that power in a lame duck session after he was elected. I'm not sure just what he can veto. They may have enough to overturn it anyway.

The even scarier part - NPR was talking this morning about the fear that some states might consider not allowing pregnant women to leave the state for fear that they might get an abortion.

Except for the fact that they will then get sued for inhibiting interstate travel, which is a constitutional right.

Its going to get scary with future cases in which the "strict constitutionalists" on the Court start to claim that the right to stop abortion is protected by the constitution.

I agree Weniki: leaks are usually deliberate.

It’s hard to believe this is a possibility, what is wrong with these people? I’m assuming it’s Republicans. Fucking Republicans. 😕
