Stop worrying about controlling other people's personal reproductive lives, Rupert. You do have an opinion, that "it wouldn't be the end of the world for states to choose to ban abortion"
If you are so against other people having the freedom to make the personal decision to have an abortion, you should at least be fighting for sex education and free birth control for all.
The only reason to encourage overturning of Roe v Wade is to prevent women from having rights to control their own reproductive lives.

I don't know how you came to the conclusion that "I am so against other people having the freedom to make the decision to have an abortion." If I was against it, I would simply state that I think abortion should be illegal. I have never said that I thought abortion should be illegal.
My comment that "it wouldn't be the end of the world if a few states banned it" was made in the context that there are people out there who may vote for Obama/Biden based on this one issue alone. I think that is ridiculous because it is unlikely that Roe v Wade will be overturned, and even if it was overturned that would not ban abortion in the US. Some conservative states may ban it but that would not be the end of the world. If you are a woman in one those states, it would be a little bit of an inconvenience. You would have to drive to a bordering state to have the procedure. As a one-time deal, if you had to drive to a bordering state, that would not be the end of the world.
