With all the vitriol being expended on both sides (I myself, being Catholic, am in the pro-life camp), I found this article to be a little sobering. Whether Roe is overturned or not, abortion is likely to be largely unopposed except where it already is. The article's mathematical justifications are a little furry, but I think the most important idea this article tries to get across is that Roe is more a banner than something of any real importance. Its overturn would only be a small, small first step towards any illegalization of abortion.
My computer is swiftly dying, so I'll leave this thread for others to hijack (please don't be too brutal, it's my first time writing a thread); just read the article and weight in on it.
