The good news is that they will be more "local". e.g. here in Kentucky Pelosi (and therefore the voters of California) won't have a say. That is huge.

Kind of getting away from the original premise of the thread, folks. Roe v. Wade, states rights, women's rights, right to life are all well-worn topics for debate here and elsewhere. Done to death. I specifically wanted to know whether anybody thought the SCOTUS decision today might give a back-handed boost to the Dems in the mid-terms or are they still screwed?

I'm betting the GQP has shot itself in the pecker over all of this.

Folks paying attention have proof today that the GQP plays the long game effectively. For fifty years they have been stacking courts and ginning the base to vote for this day. Showing they will not stop until their goals are accomplished.

This is just the beginning!

Donald Trump's lasting legacy will now be the overturning of Roe v. Wade

I'm thinking that too, especially if SCOTUS takes a run at contraception or same-sex marriage before November.

Next, fertilized eggs and zygotes will be deemed "persons". Watch for it, and the billboards advertising legal services for them.

If states want to mandate reproduction, they should be on the hook for medical and financial support.
