@leftsock If you were a democrat and did not vote for HRC in 2016 then you have some responsibility. National elections have consequences that can last for decades.
Antiabortion activists have made clear overturning Roe is the first step toward their goal of making abortion illegal nationwide. To accomplish that goal, antiabortion jurisdictions not only will pass laws that criminalize in-state abortion, but also attempt to ban any abortion that has a relationship to their state. After Roe is overturned, antiabortion jurisdictions will likely go further and try to prohibit their citizens from traveling to another state to obtain an abortion.

If the SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade this coming summer, there will be a paradigm shift in abortion law and access. Borders and jurisdiction will become the central focus of the abortion battle. What has been, until now, a uniform national right will devolve into a state-by-state patchwork. In this post-Roe world, states will attempt to impose their local abortion policies as widely as possible, even across state lines, and will battle one another over these choices; - David Cohen

A Fox employee said executives at the network said they wanted to purposely air 'grievance' to 'get people boiled up'. The driving narrative, an employee suggested, was one that made viewers believe they're in danger. "They're coming for you, the Blacks are coming for you, the Mexicans are coming for you," the employee told The N.Y. Times.
