poor wording on my part. i got the impression that someone was laboring
under the notion that overturning roe v wade would mean outlawing abortion.
that's not what it would mean, as you know. so, yeah, they are and have
been making it a states rights issue, but abortion won't then be/c
magically illegal. the politics will have to turn to state level. and
that won't necessarily alienate that many people. in fact, it's a pleasant
goal for the GOP since their national political races won't be mired in the
politics of abortion.
