one new SCOTUS justice would flip it. one.

but here is the rub. that justice, and the other 4 who are needed, won’t flip it if is viewed as a moral issue. Not that I don’t think its a moral issue mind you, of course it is. But you won’t get 5 to flip it on that basis, it must be framed as a constitutional issue.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s to be patient and persistent.

One conservative SC Justice is still a step in the right direction.

And then one more... if we win the WH and then win it again.

Two of many constitutional issues:

1. The unborn are deemed by SCOTUS to be "persons" under the Equal Prtection Clause of the XIVth Amendment. End game for the babykillers because that would mandate a constitutional RIGHT TO LIFE for the innocents conceived but not yet born.

2. More likely: Abortion was none of the fedgov's or SCOTUS's business in the first place (Xth Amendment). The states are free to legislate as they see fit. It will take a while but that will also produce endgame for the babykillers and a political victory will be more permanent.
