The overturning of Roe V Wade wouldn't immediately ban abortions, it would allow for legislation to be passed to ban or limit abortion. So, if a heavily Republican state wanted to ban abortions, it could.

And such bans should be seen as illegitimate and rebelled against, especially with the second amendment as women and doctors will likely be prosecuted for practicing their inalienable rights.

Its presence acts as a blocker to any outright abortion bans, and should be defended, similar to how the recent gay marriage ruling by SCOTUS blocks any outright gay marriage bans. An overturning of Roe v Wade would be disastrous in terms of abortion rights.

It will be the worse decisions since Dred Scott as it would declare women as slaves to the state. If one can't control their bodies, how can one be free?

If the state is telling you you can't have a medical procedure to control your body, that makes you it's slave. Objective fact that you are wrong to deny.

No it does not, that's hyperbole, something that you use all the time, and are incapable of distinguishing from reality.

Neither are you, all you're saying is basically "lol banning abortion is treating women like slaves, you're are wrong because i'm right"

I mean, banning abortion would be akin to enslavement of the woman's body to the fetus for 9 months, but that isn't what Triassica is arguing here unfortunately.

Because it is treating women like slaves, esepically if they start criminalizing abortion as murder. Take that logic to it's conclusion in death penalty states...

Except it would be enslaving if you're forcing a woman to carry to term if she doesn't want to. If you criminalize abortion, a woman getting caught having/trying to have one could be prosecuted for murder.

It really isn't hyperbolic. Depending on criminal law codification, a ban on abortion could very well be prosecuted as a murder. As for enslavement, not hyperbolic either. Forcing a woman to carry to term (this excepting viability) when that is not her expressed wish, is akin to enslaving. All on account of the fetus.

Why should we put the needs of the fetus above those of the woman?

It's not so much about the fetus as it is about the woman. The goal in of itself is to "put the woman back in her rightful place." That is the goal of the social conservative movement.

Exactly. The fetuses are non-person humans.
