Fun fact, liberal policies prevent more abortions than conservative.
R's think the only way to get anything done is "more government", "more restrictive laws" and (most importantly) "less education, dialogue and empowering the citizens".
Their tagline may say otherwise, but if you look at their actions, it's clear they can't think beyond the talking points fed to them by "their" biased media talking heads.
Lets talk Supreme Court for a moment, historical Facts about the Supreme Court : Less than 90% of cases that go to the Supreme Court are heard by the Supreme Court. Most cases the Supreme Court choose not to hear it on various reasons, it does not have a conflict with the constitution or it was decided in a previous decisions or a number of other reasons.
In any of these cases the Lower Courts decisions stand. The Supreme Court has overturned less than 2% of it's own cases, most often indicating that it was already decided in one of the Supreme Courts Decisions.
So even if the Supreme Court is packed with strict Constitutionalists most of the cases do not get to be heard by the Supreme Court in just the numbers; and even less of those numbers will the Supreme Court overturn one of its own ruling's. So it is a pipe dream to hope that there will be a case that will get before the Supreme Court that will overturn Roe V Wade.
They aren't going to overturn R V W but the states have taken a new tack to close down clinics, the supreme court has heard 2 cases in Texas and Louisiana in the last few years. The 5th US Appeals court upheld a Louisiana law that was recently struck down in Texas regarding admitting privileges at hospitals for doctors. There are many other laws regarding abortion that will at some point find their way into the supreme court. Missouri has one remaining clinic that the state has done their best to close same in Louisiana.
Keep in mind that this won't impact middle class women, it is foolish to make it more difficult for poor minority women to get access. Then there is the defunding of Planned Parenthood clinics that provide contraception and family planning. Makes little sense if you truly want to prevent abortion.
Easiest way to decrease abortions is to improve sex ed and access to birth control. Most of the people against abortions are also against those things as well. Abstinence only education does not work. Abortions have only existed and will always exist. If not legally than illegally.
The easiest way to decrease abortions is for women who don't want children and their sexmates to use easily accessible birth control.
All aborted babies who wished they weren't, please raise your hand.

My bad - they're DEAD.
And if there is a judgment, woe unto those who murdered them.
Woe unto those who failed to care for the helpless life within them.
Calling murder a right to privacy is absurd.
I don't know about you, but a civilization that kills its unborn isn't civilized.
FETICIDE - an abortion, specifically, the killing of a fetus. One who kills a fetus. The act of destroying a fetus or causing an abortion.
Any thoughts on the revelation that RBG was apparently a racist? 150 law clerks hired when she was SCOTUS and only ONE was black. None for her 13 years as a Judge before that.
