Overturning Roe v. Wade, just in case you didn't understand plain English from my prior posts, would be the biggest mistake the Supremes could make. It would lead to an incredible culture war and would most certainly be a severe body blow to Republicans. As long as they have the issue to run on against the Dems they can claim the moral high ground. Once they've won that major issue they will then have to not only find another issue, but SURVIVE politically. You don't seem to understand that many many Republicans do not want to see Roe v. Wade reversed. Forget it. It ain't gonna happen because these judges understand this game as well. Also, just in case you aren't aware, overturning such a large PRECEDENT would probably put the Supreme Court's budget, which Congress must approve in serious harm's way when the Dems take control. The judges complain every year about their budget proposals being slashed in Committee like they were the county dog catcher. Trust me, this issue is much bigger than you could possibly comprehend. It would be a pyrrhic victory for the anti-abortion crowd. It ain't gonna happen. Fuhgetaboutit.

interesting commentary robert. Had'nt though about it that way but I'm a believer now
Add in the fact no republican elected officals are'nt really vocal, or propose legeslation, about thier opposition to abortion outside of talks to clergy, make me really believe they defacto support it using it as only a wegde issue to get votes from the devout.
