Plus, the supreme court will not hear an appeal from whichever federal district or court of appeals over turns the law. Then the pro-abortion side gets a big headline:

"Supreme Court Upholds Roe"

I swear sometimes my friends in the pro-life movement are more dangerous than the pro-aborts.

Okay suppose they don't. It still brings the issue up in a new and interesting light. This vote was not along party lines. I'm not sure of the numbers (I've looked but can't find them, any FR help appreciated), but some Dems crossed over on this.
For years the Dems have held this issue as a non flexible part of their platform. There is no publicly spoken about Dem pro life movement. How many Dems can you think of that have had to change their view on this issue to fall in line for Dem national office. Whereas the Pubbies have allowed (wrong headed as it may be) a pro choice (death) movement to exist in the party.
I believe many Dem voters are in the majority of Americans that when polled, are against abortion on demand.
If the Dems who voted for this in SD will stand up and be proud that they defended the rights of the most innocent of children, perhaps we could see some other Dems who will allow their conscience to take over and say yes we are Dem but we don't believe in the murder of children.
I'm sorry this is rambling, but here is the point. We need to remove the stigma that forces Dems to choke back the bile and support abortion to please the party masters. We need to get this away from being a Rep vs Dem thing, and force people to see it from the standpoint of right and wrong, and if these Dems in SD had the courage, maybe it will spread.
I hope this made sense. I knew what I wanted to say but I don't know if I communicated it correctly. If anybody else sees where I'm coming from, please jump in and help.
