re: Why is abortion such a huge deal?

While the debates about abortion are polarizing, the left/media has also put out the major talking points and has a lot of people in a panic because of what this decision could lead to. Apparently Roe v Wade was not only a major "win" for the pro-choice crowd; it was used as a basis for many other decisions. As a result, there is a large group of people worried about what's next.

I have seen statements about the right using this to go after same sex marriage and woman's ability to use birth control.

Also have to keep in mind that it's not going away. Democrats & the media need to keep this as a hot topic in the media for another 4 1/2 months to get through mid-terms. They will also use this as a basis why they need to stack the courts
