Here's why abortion will never go away, no matter how many conservative judges and justices are put on courts. Our natural sensibility tells us that it's not fair to protect an unborn baby's life over that of its mom, so no law banning abortion will ever be upheld unless it has a provision to end a pregnancy if the mother's life is in danger. But here's the catch: Every pregnancy puts the mother's life in danger. Most moms survive, obviously, but it's still a tremendous trauma on her body and anything might go wrong. So these provisions can and will be used pretty much at will.
