Roe v. Wade: What's your nightmare scenario?
Advertisements [?]
Those of us who support choice are deeply concerned about the consequences for women and our nation as a whole if Roe v. Wade is eventually overturned.

We all can imagine horrible results (and our more mature generations can remember our country before the ruling) but one thing that keeps worrying me about abortion being made illegal....

When a woman miscarries, will there be a police investigation? I lost a pregnancy between my first and second children and it was an emotionally-trying time for my husband and me. My mind can't even wrap itself around the thought that law enforcement would be forced to investigate such a private and painful event for my family.

I don't intend to be pregnant again, but I fret about what the future holds for our daughters. I've even told my husband that if abortion is ever made illegal nationally, I will take our daughters out of the country when they come of age. This election wasn't enough to make me want to leave, but the thought of my daughters not having control over their own bodies is.

DUers...what's your worst fear if Roe v. Wade is overturned? Are my fears an overreaction?
