Susan Collins has said that she won't vote to confirm a SCOTUS justice who will overturn Roe v Wade. Let's be extremely charitable and assume that she actually will follow through with this.
This promise is essentially meaningless.
First, the Supreme Court will not "overturn" Roe v Wade. They will simply allow so many state level restrictions as to make the ruling effectively moot in large parts of the country. This in turn will allow Collins to vote for someone who will allow these extreme restrictions to go into place.
I once joked on Twitter that I would be fine with Mississippi, Alabama and so on revitising the idea of secession. I was informed that this would abandon millions of people to poor voting rights, abortion restrictions and draconian civil rights.
At this point, better them than the rest of us.
