Interesting.

I don't want to start a war over Abortion vs the Second Amendment

Neither do I, but I think that abortion is a huge cultural problem, whereas Second Amendment rights are a Constitutional discussion.
The state should definitely cease funding planned parenthood 100%.

Well, to be fair to myself, a proper majority in Casey may not have ipso facto overturned Roe. There would have been an endless stream of State and other federal innovations to keep abortion alive. But it would have been a step in the right direction. It is also possible, that because we lost Casey, that the anti-abortion side became emboldened and the pro-abortionists got brazen. As such, with things like Project Veritas videos of these ghouls being made public, today I believe many Americans aren't as pro-abortion as they used to be.

In contrast, had the majority in Heller gutted the Second Amendment and effectively also wiped out state provisions for the right to KABA, there'd be little to stop us from becoming Europe.

I also think Bork was a closet statist and, as maddening as Kennedy was, I suspect Bork would have been Kennedy-ish disappointment, and not a Scalia or Thomas.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda...but again we may have gotten off light in retrospect.
