If roe vs. Wade is overturned.

[Whateverist]

If roe vs Wade were overturned, what would be the political ramifications. I don't mean people having to cross statelines or have back alley abortions. I mean would there be serious sustained riots? Would California vote for secession?

For those very reasons (which I've bolded) people would likely respond as if their lives depended on it.  I might even call the people I know with guns (Khem) and suggest that now might be a good time to get the blood of tyrants ready to refresh our liberty.

Reasonable states would continue to allow abortion.  Shithead states - i.e., redneck motherfuckers - would ban it setting up a country divided by geography.  Rich fucks could always travel to an intelligent state to get their abortions.  The poor would be fucked which is always the goal of these republicunt scumbags.

Yeah - in the Deep South there would be lots of little black kids born for the police to shoot and catholick priests to fuck up the ass.

The republitraitors would have to start removing the vote from white women, just like they're doing with blacks, latinos, asians and natives currently.

I think women showed remarkable restraint during the testimony by that rapist last week - they didn't burn everything to the fucking ground, and I don't know how they managed that.

If abortions are recriminalized, I think all bets are off.

I think it would be more a political destruction of the GOP than anything else.

We wouldn't be able to abort Beethoven.
We wouldn't be able to abort Einstein.
We wouldn't be able to abort Hitler.

The reality, is that more likely than not, nothing would happen. Sadly, since 45 got elected, the people of this country have become complacent. Sure, we complain on social media, but there hasn't been a serious enough uproar to actually make anything happen. Think about it. When was the last time an assassination attempt on a president happened? Back in the 80's to Ronnie. I'm not saying that should happen now, but since then, this country has been through a lot of unnecessary shit. We've had wars, terror attacks, hell even a few major hurricanes. How are the people of NO coming along since Katrina hit? Our own country's government let her people down when Katrina hit Louisiana and more than a decade later there are still people living in sub par FEMA housing because their own homes have still not been rebuilt.

Nothing is being done to fix these problems. Roe v Wade gets overturned and nothing will be done about that either. The days of citizens having a backbone and fighting for their rights are over. Riots and protests and sit ins are no longer enough. We keep putting people in office that are career politicians, who have never given a shit about doing the right thing. Reduce their pay to an hourly minimum wage, take away their costly pensions, impose term limits and maybe, just maybe we might see some changes. And that goes for both sides.

You're surely correct, though it makes me sad to think so. 

It would be a noticeable step in the wrong direction, but there have been a hundred other such steps in recent years, under Dems as well as Reps. There might be a big march or something, but there were also big marches against the Iraq war, and that accomplished nothing. 

And of course -- we may be forgetting -- although everybody here agrees on what's reasonable, a hell of a lot of Americans have wanted to overturn Roe for a long time. 

So I suspect that all the usual people would show their outrage, and a few politicians would use it to get votes, and nothing much would be done.

Should we have term limits on judges, at least on the supreme court, in light of its politicization?

Yeah, but they're sub-human Nazis.

One term only.
