At some point, SCOTUS will have to take the case. Whether it's the Alabama bill or another, at some point SCOTUS will have to revisit RoeVWade.

I'd argue that had technology back then been what it is today, there's no way RoeVWade would be in effect right now.

Time to invoke Article 5.

But they aren't victims. Is the prolife movement afraid that if they incriminate women they'll look bad? These women are procuring a murder. They should be charged too.

And SCOTUS will not take it up.

That would make sense.

I believe you have a strong point.

Convention of States. The result would most likely be a compromise amendment to the Constitution affirming that abortion is a State issue.

My issue with all these abortion laws that are passing is this.

1.) Most don't charge the woman procuring the abortion.
2.) They do not charge for murder.

Unless the law affirms that an abortion is murder and incriminates all guilty parties involved, it is actually codifying terms and a definition that is less than the idea of a fetus being a human life.
