If roe vs. Wade is overturned.

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?

Like with every other problem those popular late night comedians would turn it into a laughing matter and people would think it's all just a big joke and therefore be pacified.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It would be an attack on women's rights we would never forgive or forget and retribution would not be swift but it would be brutal .

Yes and yes.
In a number of conservative states, state lawmakers have made it so difficult to obtain a legal abortion that it's already effectively outlawed there.
The idea that we could go backward any further than we already have on this issue is unthinkable.

It is like we are reverting to a meaner version of the Eisenhower era. These old white., rich, priveleged, aristocratic men, soon to die off fascist assholes, keep getting younger!

The outcome would be hardship and criminality by fiat.  There will still be clinics.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Roe v. Wade is just the first domino. With it gone, kiss your right to privacy goodbye.

If ( or before) R vs W is overturned I say we (legally!) pounce upon these motherfuckers like a Lynx upon a Snow Hare! Get out and vote, you lazy shites!
