It's a bit confusing to determine what those who are against abortion are looking for. For decades, it was simply evil babykilling and they were working to overturn the Roe decision and then get federal legislation to end the practice nationally. There was a time when that might have been possible, but now, I'm not sure that they'll ever get a case in front of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe, which most of the current justices, including some of the right wingers, refer to as "settled law."

I'm afraid that I see this bill as an attack on women in poverty and women of color. For those with means and connections, abortions have always been available. I remember back all the way to high school. when all abortion was illegal, it was sometimes rumored that certain prominent young ladies might be pregnant. Suddenly, they were out of school for a few days on a trip after which they returned no longer pregnant. Poor girls had babies. I can already see a new tourist business arising for those with the means, even if Roe is outlawed. They will fly to Israel where all abortions are legal. I'm not advocating for abortion, but I am advocating for equal treatment under the law, the fallacy in this current legislation.
