And with a state like California that has a higher GDP than all but a few of the largest countries in the world, that wouldn't be an empty threat |
I can't see a national abortion ban or any other federal social laws. The whole point of reversing Roe v Wade was to de-federalize it and give it to the states. A national abortion ban would really be going to far the other way giving it back to the federal government, I can't see all republicans being on board, especially those in purple states. That's one way to lose the Senate in 2026 in a hurry.
Up in 2026
There's still Susan Collins in Maine,
