I agree with Rush. Miers possibly being pro-life does not EQUAL overturning ROE.

It pains me to say it, but I think the President is taking advantage of people's faith in order to advance a political "agenda," and that agenda may or may not include taking the abourtion question out of the hands of SCOTUS.

Overturning ROE, by the way, only changes the venue for making abortion policy. Instead of at SCOTUS, each state Court will do the same thing. The big battle just splits into 50 little battles. See, e.g., Massachusetts Supreme Court mandating the Legislature to pass a law that codified gay marriage.

I've been thinking the same thing. As long as it stays in the National arena, the Republicans get the votes.

Yep, and it should be up to the states. Even if it was legal in a certain state, at least they would have the power to regulate it as they see fit. I don't see very many states making it illegal totally.

And it makes me mad what the Mass Supreme court did. They took the power away from the people.
