The majority of people are against partial birth abortion anyway.

True, but not strongly enough to make them switch parties. While the number of voters who are against abortion may be about half of the county, only a subset of those voters care enough to make it an important issue to them.

On the other hand, the voters (especially women) who are pro-choice take Roe very seriously and would easily defect to vote for a democrat that they have nothing in else in common with, if the Dem would vow to protect Roe v Wade.

If the Republicans embrace this decision and campaign on trying to overturn Roe v Wade then the Dems will put on beating on them in 2008.

I’ve read that among single-issue voters on abortion, the anti-abortion voters outnumber pro-abortion. Not by a whole lot, but still.
