An overturning would return the right to allow local communities to decide. It wouldn't make anything a crime.

Yes it does. It allows communities to vote as to whether they will allow abortion in their communities/states. A SC that rules against Roe vs. Wade will in effect make it illegal, period.
You argue federalism, and what you argue is respectable, however, to allow the SC to overturn Roe vs Wade you disallow the states and communities to decide. Thus you are legislating from the bench.
As for Martinguerre's comments, I do agree you do tend to dismiss others and talk down to them in this thread at times. Look at your post (#5) reply to me, to some degree I did feel you were dismissing the argument because I didn't agree or wasn't as "up" on things as you.
But I also realize that you are passionate and that was just your way. You meant no offense.... at least I tend to believe based on other debates and threads where we have met, you have more respect than that.
