Abstract:
This essay responds to Professor Richard Fallon’s 2006 Childress Lecture at St. Louis University School of Law, If Roe Were Overruled: Abortion and the Constitution in a Post-Roe World. Professor Fallon’s paper exposes as fallacies four popular beliefs about the legal landscape after Roe’s end, including the belief that states restricting abortion will and can reach conduct only within their territorial boundaries. As he persuasively explains, criminal authority probably extends beyond state lines, and the outer limits of a state’s criminal legislative jurisdiction pose a host of contested issues, including the tension between national and state citizenship.
