    The issue of abortion has always been a long game. A national right to abortion law will need to be enacted and signed by Congress and the President or a Constitutional Amendment to enshrine this right. Until then, since Roe v. Wade was repealed, piecemeal legislations in individual States, and new court rulings will continue the battle. We are voting on a constitutional amendment to an abortion in Arizona this election cycle. If it passses, it will be decided here regardless of actions in other States. Elections have consequencea folks so get out and vote!

      I don’t think it ever will be legal at the Federal level again.

      Democrats raised $80,000,000 just off the Roe repeal leak alone. Why kill the golden goose when the people voting for you don’t care if you actually follow through with your promises or not?

      As an aside, this is the same reason why we’ll never have a functional immigration system. The Republicans make too much money and political capital off of it to ever fix the problem.
