I'm a Tomi fan...but...

First, legal life has its own timing; No one 'decides' to overturn a precedent. A case makes it's way through the system which is ripe for examination or not.

Overturning Roe will be a process, not an event. It could take ten, twenty years and several decisions to lay the groundwork..

Let’s go after sanctuary cities, and push for voter ID laws. We lose when we start messing with social issues.

RATs think immigration and sanctuary cities are social issues. Conservatives think abortion is murder. Tomi, however, believes...This isn’t a black and white issue and I would never judge anyone in that position.

No, I don't think she "understands the passion."

I think it would be a huge step forward to send it back to the states as not being one of the ‘enumerated powers’

She may now. I know I do. Those who believe life starts when the tadpole penetrates the egg are very set in their belief. Nothing is going to shake them from this. An immovable object. The other side firmly believes the woman has every right to choose what they do with their own body; including aborting a fetus and/or a baby.

When there's no possibility of compromise; there's no possibility of discussion. I predict you're right in that it would take up to 20 years before anything was changed because of the intense passion on both sides.

I think it's more likely no change at all will happen. None of the courts want to touch it. Congress wants no part of it. R v W will stand indefinitely because both side are unwilling to budge from their positions of all or nothing. Sad; because something good could happen even if it isn't what either side wants.
