AB goes WAY back before any of those (save the Post) was in existence.

Their reactions are hilarious.

At the end of the day, the ruling will stand, and several dozen states will likely adopt new laws accordingly.

Hissy fits are fruitless.

None of this matters.

The people that are Pro-Choice aren't going to change their vote based off any news that came out this week.

Ditto for Pro-Life people. I actually think the media knows this, therefore I suspect this story gets buried again.

Truth is, people only care peripherally about abortion. What they really care about is their own lives and being able to pay the bills and provide for their families. Biden was handed the potential for a massive economic recovery on a silver platter and he blew it by blowing out the economy with unnecessary spending to turbo charge inflation and re-introduce regulation at all levels of government.

And if that weren't bad enough, he ruined America's reputation by abandoning "no man left behind" when he left hundreds of Americans behind and ceded billions of military equipment to the Taliban in the biggest foreign embarrassment in US history

And if that weren't bad enough, he blew the border wide open for millions of illegals to flood in

And if that weren't bad enough, he came out in favor of sex change operations for little kids and had the DOJ label concerned parents as "domestic terrorists".

I could go on, but I don't have to.

The Abortion debate is a complete nothingburger in the upcoming elections. Expect a historic meltdown when that sinks in come November
It's funny how you say that Abortion is a nothingburger yet you cite two issues above that doesn't even affect the vast majority of Americans.
The US population is 51% Female and overturning Roe v Wade will affect Millions of American women yet you want to discard it as a nothingburger.

Inflation, crime and pandemic restrictions affect everyone while abortion is, in all fairness, an insignificant side issue for most voters that has no impact on their lives. People who are especially passionate about abortion are already loyal to their respective parties, so it will make little difference in the midterms.

Maybe one or two close House races could get shifted in their favor, but when Democrats are on track to lose a couple dozen seats or more, it won't save their majority.

This is pure Blue Anon nonsense, which is why you can provide no example in reality

I've put it on my calendar and I promise to be back here on November 9 where (in mass Democrat despair) the reality will sink in that abortion is not what the vast majority of Americans are concerned about

Abortion takes a second seat to the World War that is starting under Biden's watch.

Again, people with an opinion on the abortion issue have already taken a side.

Sounds like there remains a bit of acute interest.

It might be a direct vote by the people in the form of an Amendment as to whether the state retains the right to an abortion and under what terms/conditions. This would take it out of the hands of the legislators and the people would decide directly on the issue. In fact, I think that putting the issue on the ballot in each state would be a better way of doing it than having the legislators decide the issue.
