I think you're right about the public square. I know you're right about the damage Roe v Wade has inflicted. A look at Chuck Shumer foaming at the mouth is evidence of that.

So, pulling on my running shoes, you would think that overturning Roe and returning the issue to the states is the proper course of action?

Every day Mom's all across America are viewing 3 and 4D images of their babies in vitro. Minds are being changed and positions are being modified.

I am not sure. Overturning a long standing Scotus decision as wrong should have some consensus behind it. Absent that, it might further poison the water, and would be a disaster politically to the Pubbies. It won't happen in any event. What is more realistic, and what I would favor, is cutting back the progency of Roe first, to let the states work out the law regarding second and third trimester abortions. As a pracical matter, few states are going to ban first trimester abortions in any event, particularly if most keep them legal. Banning morning after pills and the like is even more dead in the water.
