And here is an interesting fact...
Roe V Wade only federally insures that abortions are legal in all 50 states. Funny that Roe was fighting for her right because abortions were illegal in Texas where she lived. If it were overturned, the states would still be able to make it legal to have an abortion.

Jim, sorry, but you are incorrect. If the federal court overturns RvW, the default would be no abortions. it would require that each state then pass a legalizing law, which would be doubtful if the federal court has ruled against. Any new "abortion allowed" law would immediately be challenged in court, and with a heavy federal ruling against, it would be hard to get them to stick.
Also, don't forget that many states have republican governors inplace, which would make passing such a law more difficult.
The implications here are huge.
