Truth be told, even letting Roe stand, and overturning all the absurd decisions that followed in its wake, entirely depriving states of the right to regulate abortion in sensible ways (spousal notification, parental notification, banning late-term abortions, requiring absurd 'health of the mother' exceptions for the gruesome head-in-vagina-infanticide procedure (if she's healthy enough to be induced, she's healthy enough to give birth), etc.) which the decision in Roe did not do, as it only overturned existing general prohibitions on abortion, would be something.

I wonder if we'll even see that much progress in our lifetime.

(Incidentally, I think 'partial birth abortion' is too pretty a term. Pro-lifers would do well to use 'head-in-vagina-infanticide' for the appropriate shock value.)

How about "murder during childbirth"?

If you, and others are interested in forcing the issue (a good thing), give whatever you can to the South Dakota effort. It's neck-and-neck in the polls. Five years or so down the road it will end up in the SCOTUS. By then, there should be another new face on the court, hopefully on the Constitution's side.

That is a real, tangible thing we can all do, at this moment, to change things.
