Interesting thread..however..most of the comments ignore the difference between politcal conservatives and what we may term moral absolute pro-lifers..They are not necessarily incompatible in their desire..but the methodologies differ dramatically... Assume that W gets to put three conservative judges on the SC tomorrow..all of whom are staunchly pro-life. Roe would be overturned..but not on moral grounds, that abortion is a crime...rather that Roes was bad law..finding a "right" that didn't exist in the Consitution..and it would sent the question of abortion back to the several states, for the legistatures to decide..
Exactly.

Not if those new judges honored their oaths to support the Constitution. And once sworn, they probably would.
but not on moral grounds, that abortion is a crime...rather that Roes was bad law..finding a "right" that didn't exist in the Constitution..
"Due process" is a well established Constitutional right. It even applies to pregnant women, believe it or not.
and it would sent the question of abortion back to the several states, for the legistatures to decide..
The legislators in States can not Constitutionally infringe upon an individuals right to due process, -- any more than they can on our RKBA's.
The sad fact that States are indeed so infringing, -- only shows how corrupt our whole political system has become.
Yup. Roe should be trashed on the strength of procedural reasons.
