What Will They Do When Trump Bans Abortion?

[usedtobedemgurl]

If Trump wins he has said how he will stack the court. He is going to put an end to Roe v. Wade as we have known it. The GOP has dangled this carrot in front of its constituency for years. They have done everything BUT ban it since that would mean an end to a wedge issue that has kept people in line, and voting for them for years. If Donald wins, and we survive his presidency, this will turn it around on them for years to come. I contend there will be a huge backlash and people will vote Democrat. We can only do so much on our end because Trump will most likely appoint more than one justice and no one will be stepping down for a while after that. The odds will be in their favor for quite some time to come.

Trump has already caused a division with the GOP and has proven they cannot control him in any way. He will do this and put an end to one of the biggest issues for them in our generation. Once their biggest wedge issue has gone bye-bye, and all of us are suffering for it, what will they do to convince their people it is important to come out and vote? By that time their party will be in tatters, divided by the folks who are sane and those who are not. (or maybe those who have manners and those who would rather flaunt their bigotry publicly)

I don't want them to win and I believe we are poised to win big with each and ever time Trump opens his mouth but have they truly thought about what they have unleashed for their party? If they do win, this could be their last one for a long time to come because Trump does not understand how politics works and nor will he listen.

1. They will want more.

The full tilt anti-abortion groups want all forms of birth control other then abstinence made illegal.

3. I really hope you are wrong but I don't think so.

I am just wondering if they have thought this all through. They obviously did not think through all the hate they have spewed and where it would lead, even when there were signs of this with the tea party rebellion all these years. A sane person could see it coming and change course. Can they not see, right now, that there main issue, to get people out to vote, is about to go away if he is elected?

2. If Roe is overturned, would that mean

states could criminalize abortion piecemeal or would it make abortion illegal in all 50 states and U.S. territories?

4. My guess is the first

It would depend on the state. And maybe down to the county or even town level. So there would be places where the rich or fortunately located could still have a choice, and vast areas where the poor/middle class would be denied that choice.

Of course, the American Taliban would probably then push for an Amendment to ban choice across the entire US.

The epic heartbreaking fallout from this begins months from now

6. Not just abortion

... but also trying to cram their religious views down the throats of kids in school, etc.

Evangelicals especially want control of the Supreme Court.
