Okay, so the "red wave" comes to pass, and with the help of the SCOTUS, abortion now becomes a total state decision with all that entails. So let's speculate:
- Your mom, grandma, sister, cousin, wife, girl friend, good female friend is raped to a 3 week coma status. She is hospitalized, and later diagnosed as pregnant. The state she lives in and where the rape occurred outlaws abortion. So the aforementioned woman goes to drive to a state that does. Unfortunately, she's stopped at the state border by a trooper who asks the nature of her trip. He runs her I.D., and finds her pregnancy in the database. He informs her that if she returns to the state and is not pregnant, she will be arrested and jailed for the crime of abortion induced murder. Subsequently, the person(s) who drive her to and from the procedure is arrested and prosecuted for aiding and abetting a murder.
I WISH this was far fetched, but all one has to do is pay attention to the current declarations and rhetoric of Republican politicos and their media sycophants.
