When I first read that post I only skimmed it. The impression I had then was the poster was basically saying: _“If SCOTUS makes abortion illegal there would still be some blue states that would “allow” abortions because women won’t stop needing them just because it’s illegal so better to have competent doctor’s and proper facilities than back-alley stuff.”_ I thought he/she was implying that some states would “look the other way” when abortions were performed under those circumstances. But then I re-read it and saw that he/she wrote: > [@Solution to the abortion madness?
