If this was 2 A being tossed, a right they cherish, then they'd have a different tune. But since this is what they want, they are cool with it. They couldn't be bothered to wear a mask, but expect women to sacrifice their lives for children they never wanted. You really can't make this crap up. But there are some tooting their horns that will have a different outlook when this hits home.

The SC is NOT considering banning abortion...they simply and factually are NOT.

2A is actually IN the Constitution.

Masks don't work and have/has/had been mandated...abortions do work and no one is forced to have one. Vaccines for many has been mandated yet for many it didn't work...again...no one makes another person have an abortion. Mandating what one MUST do versus what one must NOT do is very different IMO.

Conservatives don't want abortion and/or don't want to have conversation on when/why abortion could/would/should be legal. They are concerned - rightfully so - that the definition of what is allowed will expand to the point that is has actually become.

Democrats don't want ANY restrictions on abortion...what was thought "agreeable" in '73 was NOT partial birth...late term...or after birth abortions. They are concerned - rightfully so - that a crack in the foundation of abortion becomes a crack in other, similar issues that the federal government should not be involved in.

BOTH side are too wrapped up in their ideologies to make meaningful legislation. Abortion is clearly a states' rights issue...where it can be best debated and legislated to the will of the people who vote for their representatives. JMO
