The Supreme Court is the closest our country comes to a dictatorial branch of government. That's probably why it attracts nut-cases like the author of this article.

What can you expect from someone named Froma Harrop? What were his/her parents thinking?

Her assertion that there is a "pro-choice majority" is bs.

What's more imporant...political power, or ending the slaughter of innocent babies?

Yep. If Roe is overturned, the states retain their rightful process to decide the matter.

I really enjoy reading Froma. I know we are making progress when she spases out like this.

Without political power you will never end the slaughter of innocent babies.

A lot of manipulating what "is" is...

1) Pro-Choice when given what options?
2) Always Pro-Choice or only sometimes Pro-Choice?

I wouldn't want to be a Republican politician the day that suburban mothers learn there's no legal way to end their 16-year-old daughter's unwanted pregnancy.

"Yeah, but those mothers are going to Hell anyway, so who cares what they think!" < /Calvinist Mode> ;)

Wonder where Harrop is? Seeing as how she is from there and all.

So if Roe is overturned, abortion legality will become patchwork. Sort of like Blue Laws and liquor licensing. Hardly the paranoid fantasies used by groups like EMily's List to raise donations.

The point of the article seems to be that if they use their political power to ban abortion, then they would lose that power...

No one is denying the GOP has the political power right now.

So, if they don't use it to try to end abortion, then what good is the power that they currently possess right now?

Ridiculous. On the day before this comes to pass, are you still seeking the GOP nomination for President?

If Roe went down, two bad things would happen to Republicans...

One is that it would arouse America's pro-choice majority...

The other problem in overturning Roe is that it would send the abortion issue down to the state level. Republicans don't want angry pro-choice voters rushing to the polls in 50 states.

In that case, I guess that the Dems will be delighted if Roe is reversed.
