I feel however an attack on those women are an attack on all women no matter where we are.

They start out in areas where people do not have some rights in the first place then when successful at taking more rights away they will move out further.

We need to find ways to help women of red states. Just because we may be in a blue state does not mean we are safe.

I still think it a very real possibility that the five paleolithic justices will decide on an opinion that goes beyond the Mississippi case and invokes "natural law" to establish the precedent that human life begins at the moment of conception, thus making every state's homicide laws automatically apply to all abortions as well as most forms of hormonal birth control and IUDs. Blue states that don't go along with such a ruling would therefore have to rewrite their state laws to make homicide only apply to "human beings" after they have been born -- and, even then, it's possible that SCOTUS could find such measures unconstitutional.
