Reply To: Overturn Lawrence v. Texas

Wolf, that’s like saying to keep in mind that if killing is illegal that when you have a situation where an killing someone in self-defense is necessary, you may not be allowed to.

The point of overturning it isn’t to make it illegal in all circumstances. The vast majority of supporters of overturning that SCOTUS decision do not support making abortion illegal 100% of the time. The vast majority of pro-lifers support keeping abortion legal when the mother’s life is at stake. But making it illegal when the parent simply wants to abort for financial reasons. Or desires abortion for a fetus of the wrong gender preference or similar reasons.

And once Roe v. Wade is gone state laws will allow specific exceptions to the laws outlawing abortion. Just as they had prior to the Roe v. Wade travesty of a decision.
