My guess is that Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and (hopefully) Kennedy are waiting for Alito to be confirmed before they tackle infanticide head-on.

“I’m scared to death,” said Sandy Grossburger, a 23-year old single mother of six children from Boston, Massachusetts. “If my abortion rights are taken away, my seventh child will starve to death. It just isn’t fair. Please fight for my rights, Senator Kennedy. Please, I’m begging you!”Stop the insanity, w. Stop the insanity! :) HA!

It even then is a 4-5 court and needs to be at least a 5-4 court.
We need one of the who liberal sick or elerly Justices to bit the dust for change.

It's an important step. Some value of life was recognized by our Courts in this decision.

According to an American Spectator article many years ago, Kennedy was ready to overturn Roe v. Wade in Planned Parenthood v. Casey with the other four but somehow backed out at the last minute, and went with O'Connor and Souter. The reason has never been divulged

Looks like they vacated the decision and remanded it for further proceedings at the lower court. I'm surprised it was 9-0. The oral arguments made it sound like it would be a 5-4 ruling with Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and O'Connor in the majority.
By the way, if anyone wants to "watch" the oral arguments, they can click here.

I'm wondering on what grounds they'll overturn Roe....will they do the right thing and grant personhood and thus 14th amendment protection to the unborn and outlaw abortion altogether or will they kick it to the state legislatures to pass their own laws.
