Big news today from the Supreme Court, which overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal right to an abortion. The decision returns all power regarding abortion to the states. Most red states will likely ban them in all cases (some have already), while blue states like ours (Washington) will keep it legal. Women who got pregnant from rape, or who face dire medical situations, will now have to travel from the strictest red states to blue ones to rid their natural burdens or save their lives. Only a couple good things will come of it. Perhaps people who are not ready to have a children will think twice before engaging in intercourse, but that is doubtful. Many families are going to need to face the stress of unplanned pregnancy. Another good thing, at least as far as blue states are concerned, is that they will see an influx of business from migrating females who either abandon their state for a more liberal one, or who go there temporarily to have the operation. Once again, money will be leaving poorer red states to cover the more progressive, urban blue states.
