Roe was already an acceptable compromise. Now fish might be right about one


thing; the Court might say Mississippi's law is fine within the constraints of Roe, meaning Roe would NOT be overturned, abortion would still be a right, and privacy in other contexts would be more secure. I'd be fine with that.

If you're asking me, I think the woman and the doctors involved are the ones who should decide when. As discussed ad nauseum, third trimester abortions are exceedingly rare and exceedingly traumatic. No one would choose that if they could avoid it. Second trimester abortions SHOULD be more rare, but restrictions around early abortions including the closing of clinics, requiring a hospital visit and multiple doctor reviews, too often preclude a first trimester termination. First trimester should be unrestricted IMO and more than half of abortions nowadays occur using abortifacients available by mail. Except, of course, some of the Gilead states are trying to eliminate that option.

Taxpayer funding is a fucking canard, lest you've forgotten about the Hyde Amendment.
