No, what will happen is this: They will erode women's reproductive rights slowly. Things like Fetal Heartbeat Laws. Laws that make it impossible to keep abortion clinics open. In red states it'll be next to impossible for a poor woman to get an abortion. (Rich mistresses on the other hand will get abortions quite easily). This'll keep their base happy but still screaming for overturning Roe V. Wade to drive them out to vote, without rallying liberals behind a singular cause.
Pretty good assessment IMO.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Since you are blind to reality, perhaps you would like to pay my husband his wages if a layoff does happen.
I got laid off under Obama's watch, due to one of Obama's actions (ACA). No one came to my aid.
Was it pure and simple because of an action by Obama or was it rather because of your state's reluctance toward embracing ACA and letting you suffer?

That was exactly the reason for lifetime appontment - so as to not be subject to political whim.
In any form of government - there' s always one problem - it' s infested with people.
People, are a problem.

Insurance employer that sold off their healthcare block of business. They didn't want the risk of underwriting the directives required by ACA. Had nothing to do with the state.

I was joking...
But on a more serious note, the majority of white women voted for trump, so if roe vs wade is overturned, they only have themselves to blame.
So why this talk of retribution, when they're clearly getting what they voted for.
