That’s a helpful response, thank you.
My worry has absolutely been that Republicans have no desire to accept a patchwork of legal and illegal abortion states as a final victory, and so are going to work tirelessly on the next round: a complete federal ban of abortion.
But you do seem to be correct that they would much rather this comes from the courts (which it may…), than to pass it themselves as law without filibuster. If they did do the latter, I think that would be the death of their party.
