What will the effect of overturning Roe v Wade on the Repuke party? [View All]

It's been more than thirty years since the coat hanger days, and I feel that people are a little more than complacent about the right to choose - they don't remember (or in many cases, never knew) what life was like without the right to choose.

It seems certain that Roe v. Wade will now be overturned. In my somewhat paranoid mind, it even seems possible that the new Supreme Court will rule that a fetus is a person entitled to all the rights under the constitution and abortion will be illegal in all states.

The reality is that the wealthy will still be able to fly to Europe or Canada or some other place to terminate unwanted pregnancies, but the poor will just have more and more children.

It seems to me that many people vote Republican for all sorts of reasons that actually have little to do with their own bodies. It also seems that the power of denial and obfuscation has become the pre-eminent value of the so called "Values" party.

However, I'm thinking that the nature of reality is to fuck with fantasy and to make those who drink the Koolaid - or eat the lotuses - pay. I'm thinking that for the long term, the reality of the post Roe v. Wade world will be hell on those who brought it about. I think that the disaster of Repukism, though many will suffer, might well destroy the Repuke party for many years, just as the disaster of the last powerful corrupt one party state - the Soviet State - led to the destruction of the Communist Party.

What say you?

I would be interested in hearing any comments.
