Fallout

For a decent description of some of the implications of returning the legalization and/or regulation and banning of abortion to the various state legislatures, see this Politico column by a law school dean who follows the issue in her research. She identifies four key questions:

  • Can a state’s anti-abortion laws apply beyond its borders?
  • Can liberal states provide abortion care for people from out of state?
  • What about abortion by mail?
  • What role can the federal government play post-Roe?

The possible ramifications are complex and far-reaching.
