I have a feeling that once Roe v Wade is overturned the Christian Right is going to go after Griswold. Their ultimate goal with reproductive rights is to ban the pill. They see the pill as being the beginning of the moral decline of American society. It was introduced in 1960, at the tail end of the '50s that are so sacred to conservatives.
Oh that's certainly the plan. First abortion, then contraception and finally the holy grail, only men to vote.
Why on earth is abortion such a huge issue. It's a personal issue. We can't even get the worthless politicians and supreme court to rule in favor of actual rights such as the second amendment but somehow this is always a discussion.
I'm almost certain that if Roe v Wade is overturned, some red states will enact laws to punish women who travel out of state for abortions and then return. So it will be a bigger problem than just economics.
You do know you can buy Do-It-Yourself-At-Home Abortion Kits online and save yourself the drive to an abortion clinic.
The U.S. doesn't want to end up like Japan, a shockingly low fertility rate, with 1.2 applicants per job. So! Let's overturn Roe v. Wade.
But sorry, that's not going to increase the fertility rate.
Despite the constant claim that abortion laws are based on religious ideology and imposing a theocratic government, nobody can point to a single court case where abortion restrictions are challenged because they violate freedom of religion, establish religion, or violate separation of church and state.
True, but who is pushing for the reversal of Roe v Wade? You can split hairs or you can be honest about it. Why is Trump catering to the Evangelicals by ramming through conservative judges and pretending to be a religious man? We all know who is behind the anti abortion movement.
Oh that's certainly the plan. First abortion, then contraception and finally the holy grail, only men to vote.
Yep. This is where we are headed and I fear the train is unstoppable now.
I think in the future we may also see serious attempts to restrict women's career choices, since the Christian Right believes that a woman's place is in the home, cooking and cleaning, and that the rise of two-income households also has contributed to the moral decline of our society.

It's a personal issue until taxpayers have to fund it
Griswald justifies Roe. If they want to attack Roe, they need to get rid of Griswald. And from my standpoint, they legal basis for Griswald is VERY weak. Attacking that would be more viable then attacking Roe with Griswald in place.
