Georgia's new abortion law will likely be challenged in court. That's just what conservatives are hoping for.

Parts of America are changing, with new conservative laws brewing on guns and abortion. These laws, enacted on the state level, could ultimately end up in a more conservative U.S. Supreme Court, delivering dramatic impact nationally.It is a brilliant strategy like the box-and-one defense was to basketball when it first arrived; an isolation tactic, designed to create smaller change that leads to a more significant victory.

State lawmakers are making the push, backed by the type of lobbying power that used to get things done in Washington. But amid the kind of finger-pointing gridlock that has struggled to get adequate federal funding for the Florida panhandle in the aftermath of devastating Hurricane Michael, the box-and-one is working across multiple states this legislative season.

For decades, gun lobbyists have tried to get Michigan’s concealed carry permit erased to no avail, failing to get the needed legislative focus. But something changed this year as loose efforts became a focused strategy. It’s the same thing happening in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi regarding abortion laws. These conservative states have long been ripe for stricter abortion law because one swift political push swiftly gets them up, up and on their way away.
