I could go on. Notice any trends? Other than the obvious that Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Georgia all make multiple appearances and would all be likely to prohibit abortion entirely the day following a Roe v. Wade reversal?

Lots of yammering about "saving babies," but not a whole lot of actual baby saving going on.

Notable exceptions:
Delaware (appears on all four years): Unlikely to outlaw abortion in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned

Illinois (one appearance): Unlikely to outlaw abortion in the event Roe v. Wade is overturned

Missouri (one appearance): Battleground state if Roe v. Wade were overturned. Would likely prohibit abortion to the point of making it almost completely inaccessible.

Michigan (one appearance): Battleground state if Roe v. Wade were overturned. Would likely be less restrictive than Missouri, but could go either way.
SEC Conference, basically.
