But I am not sure that something like that won't cause a civil war. What do I think?

Honestly, if reproductive rights are restricted in some states, many young people will leave to states where they aren't. Same with gay rights. The most talented people will leave red states and they will far farther behind economically. I would like to see progressive people move west and we take over Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico and several western interior states, and we establish our own de facto country with rights for everyone as long as they are socially responsible.
