If Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, states would presumably be free to criminalize abortion. But few, if any, would.

I'd love to know how often pundits are wrong -- and they're apt to be wrongest when they put on their dunce ca...THINKING caps. Who could have foreseen all that has happened under Dubya? 9/11, two wars? Who foresaw that our government would approach complete collapse three weeks ago? There's probably a reason this particular well-paid pundit is wrong, but I'm not going to be fool enough to predict why.

Which brings me to what another well-paid "thinker" said yesterday. Maybe overturning Roe (and nearly EVERYONE on both sides says what a work of GENIUS it is) would cause "social upheaval." But maybe we need some upheaval to get our house back in order. That was the CW of 9/11. And as Thomas Jefferson said, a nation needs a revolution now and then, and our body politic has arteriosclerosis.

On the other hand, look what the SIXTIES gave us.
