EVENTUALLY, I think most, maybe all states will come to some more or less reasonable accomodation of abortion - some more, some less. The trigger laws were just political. I don't thinkk anybody expected the SC to return it to the states.

That is exactly what the landscape will look like - in 2-4 years.

Quote:So does that mean you don’t think the trigger laws were political stunts since you believe some states will end up with abortion bans?

I have said several times they were just stunts to appeal to a certain base. I don't believe there will be any states that end up with bans, but certainly some will be more restrictive than others.

Quote:And does that mean you expected some states to ban all instances of elective abortions like Oklahoma has?

In the long run, I believe no state will ban all instances. In the short run, the trigger laws will take effect.

Man, you have nearly everything I said backward.
