The case will also probably serve as a bellwether for the future of interstate relations between anti-abortion states and pro-abortion rights states. In the years since Roe fell, anti-abortion activists have grown increasingly frustrated over people’s ability to travel across state lines for the procedure and to undergo medication abortions through telehealth. Alabama has threatened to prosecute people who help others travel for out-of-state abortions, while Louisiana has issued a criminal indictment against Carpenter for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill to someone in that state.

The United States of America is breaking up in real time. As the differences in living in different states become irreconcilable eventually there just won’t be a United country, the federal government won’t even do anything other than go around beating up people so there will be little incentive to bother with that anymore either. The thing that Republicans don’t realize is that they need us more than we need them so we would ultimately come out ahead in such an arrangement, especially since the federal government is actively sabotaging everything
Agreed. There’s of course the issue of federal funding, but once things become too onerous, even that’s no longer a concern. I’m loath the predict the future, but I suspect there will be a lot of interstate migration for those who can afford to ahead of full breakdown. This situation can’t hold.
pretty much. the housing crisis makes it difficult or we’d be seeing more moving. housing sales are already down in red states and up in blue
