Pro-Life forces have not thought it out clearly. They have not considered the predictable consequences of over-turning Roe v. Wade (which is not going to happen as there has been time aplenty for challenging it in the courts and they have failed to do so).

Abortion Rights
There is no such thing as “abortion rights,” there is only Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade does not declare that abortion is legal, Roe v. Wade does not declare that abortion is moral, Roe v. Wade does not declare that abortion is a pregnant woman’s right. Roe v. Wade DOES say that no government – federal, state or local – may interfere or prevent or criminalize a woman’s desire to have an abortion within the first trimester (three months) of her pregnancy; it further affirms that states may interfere or prevent or criminalize a woman’s abortion in the second trimester of her pregnancy, and that the federal government must do the same in her final trimester. Many declare a woman’s right to an abortion to be an absolute right, but it is not so as Roe v. Wade, the law of the land respecting abortion, declares otherwise.
