In Nicaragua abortion was just banned even in cases to save the life of the mother.

Our rights are being taken away as we speak, so anything is possible.

Wow! So emotional people!
First of all, prior to Roe v Wade, most abortions were performed by licensed physicians after hours using the same methods used today, with the exception perhaps of the barbarac method of partial birth. Yes, women were injured and died, just as happens today and it was covered up just as well. After abortion was legalized, it was around 1978 when the Chigago Sun Times reporters investigated 4 abortion clinics in Chicago. They found 12 unreported deaths had taken place within a year.
How does this happen? It's not hard to figure. A girl has an abortion and hemorrhages or something. They take her out the back door to a hospital (if they are kind), she dies. The hospital puts "hemorrhage" as the cause of death. Abortion is not technically the cause of death and is not mentioned. The family grieves. No one is going to tell the press or anyone else that their little girl was having an abortion. So "they" (abortionist advocates) can go on with the lie that abortions are safe. Oh... and abortion clinics don't have to report things as hospitals do. They are not governed by the same medical practice laws and regulations.
Instead of debating when life begins, as it seems we have all made up our minds on it and are unlikely to be persuaded otherwise, you should do serious research and reading about the short and long-term complications and risks of having an abortion. You will be amazed at what you find out if you do this seriously as I did some years ago.
There are now post-abortion support groups in some places for women who have problems.
As for Roe v Wade..... Roe came forward years later and stated that she was very young and coerced into giving a testimony that was perjury before the Supreme Court! The coersion came from pro-abortion attorneys who wanted to see the Supreme Court do what they did in their ruling. Roe now fights against abortion and has published books on the subject.
M. Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood wrote in her own autobiography how she believed legalizing abortion would keep the minority populations under control. Indeed, the per capita number of abortions in the Black community is far greater than that of the white community. It's no wonder since Sanger got many of her views from her flirtation with the Nazis in the 1900s..... later using those philosophies as a reason to push for abortion in the U.S. I get that from her own book folks!
A lot of opinions will be given here. Has anyone else actually researched the numbers and history? Or are you just restating what someone told you that sounds good to the ear?
Abortion may be legal.... but it's not "safe" for the woman or the baby. It is a big business with an agenda, and that agenda is not to help poor women.
Best Wishes,
Sue

In short, no.
In the unlikely event that Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion would become a state matter. Liberals, open-minded (read not backwards red-necks) would allow abortions.
What frosts my fanny about the whole outlaw abortion movement is how easily we could end almost all abortions virtually overnight by doing things like offered free birth control to anyone on demand. But no, we can't have that, because that would give tacit permission to people to *gasp* HAVE SEX!
Wealty women will always be able to get abortions, they can just go out of the county or bribe a doctor. It's always the poor that would suffer.
What the right-to-livers really want to legislate in NOT abortion, but our sexual activity. Outlawing abortions will NOT end unwanted pregancies! People are people and will always make bad decisions regarding sex as well as everything else.
If anyone wants to outlaw abortions in this country, then read up on it was like before Roe V. Wade, the women that died or were permanently scarred by back alley abortionists.

I do not know, but I sure hope not. I have to believe that the USA has come far enough to realize that this is a very personal decision that should not be regulated by the government.
