3. Thanks Kentuck
that is is exactly right and I'm amazed that many don't see that.

One thing that no one has mentioned is that overturning Roe would likely be founded on the Sanctity of life argument, which grants the right to life at conception. Overturning Roe and reinstating this line of reasoning would open a Pandora's box of changes.

Potential practices that would be affected:

Some (many) contraceptives, IVF, *organ donation, living wills and the right to die. *Organ donation requires that the patient's heart is still beating when the organs are procured. It takes very little thought to see that all of this would be called into question. We got a hint of this with the Schiavo case.

So all of you mysogynists out there, this may affect you or your children as well.
