The way forward on abortion and Roe v Wade

All the SCOTUS has to do to move the nation forward on abortion is move FORWARD from Roe v Wade.

Should they get a pertinent case, the SCOTUS should maintain protection for all independently viable fetuses older than 20 weeks everywhere in the USA, and return regulation for abortions of fetuses under 20 weeks to the states.

If liberals like Obama think MARRIAGE is a state's issue then abortion certainly should be - up to a point of viability - that's when the federal government must intercede on the side of life.

I don't think women should be required to carry babies whose life threatens their own. If, for instance, my wife's life was threatened by having to carry a baby, I would certainly choose the life of my wife, over an unborn baby.

But, maybe that is the distinction you are making with the phrase "independently viable". I'm not sure what that means.

IF THE BABY CAN SURVIVE OUTSIDE THE WOMB THEN IT IS VIABLE AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED.

LIFE OF THE MOTHER IS A GOOD EXCEPTION THAT MANY STATES MIGHT WANT TO MAINTAIN.

PARENTS USING SONOGRAMS TO DISCOVER THE GENDER OF THE FETUS SHOULD SIGN A FORM MAKING THEM LIABLE FOR MURDER IF THEY CHOOSE TO ABORT,
