Can you sue someone for not doing something illegal to save a life?
So, not the Drs. then, maybe sure the legislature and governor for passing a law that outlawed a lifesaving procedure.

So if someone discusses murdering someone with his doctor, it is nobody else's business? Makes perfect sense. Or if the patient kills the doctor, then it is even better. Complete doctor-patient immunity!
Maybe the way around this is to make abortion guns because surely the castle doctrine would apply in the womb.
To be fair, we have completely different systems across the states for adjudicating killing an adult or child. If you kill someone in Florida and Connecticut under the exact same circumstances, you can get completely different outcomes. Assuming you think viability arrives at any point at all during pregnancy, why should killing a fetus be any different in terms of states' ability to regulate it differently? It would be weird to have a national abortion law while we don't have a national murder law (except in very limited circumstances).

We are one step away from a miscarriage being called involuntary manslaughter.
I just saw that a committee in Louisiana advanced a bill that would potentially make it a felony murder charge for both the woman and doctor for an abortion procedure.

Well of course. If this sweeping decision takes effect - and it certainly seems like it will - then conservatives are really going to be feeling their oats, and everything is on the table. Overturning gay marriage, interracial marriage, other landmark progressive rulings, and federalizing anti-abortion laws will all be on their agenda. There is no limit to what they'll push to do. The only real question is if they will pay any price at the polls for doing so. If Roe is overturned this summer and the Republicans still sweep to victory in this year's elections, why wouldn't conservatives keep pushing the envelope in the culture wars? What price will they have paid for doing so?
I don't think they come after interracial marriage, but the rest they'll likely go for
Why not? They’re going to go after Brown.
