The beginning of the end of Roe v. Wade arrived on election night in November 2010.
That night, control of statehouses across the country flipped from Democrat to Republican, almost to the number: Democrats had controlled 27 state legislatures going in and ended up with 16; Republicans started with 14 and ended up controlling 25. Republicans swept not only the South but Democratic strongholds in the Midwest, picking up more seats nationwide than either party had in four decades. By the time the votes had been counted, they held their biggest margin since the Great Depression.

We've had setbacks, and placed our trust in some that didn't deserve it.
But with perseverance, we prevailed in the end.
Take heart.
That is blatantly false. Only the far left-wing fringe has ever supported an absolute right to a legal abortion.
Hear, hear!!
It also fell because the Center for Reproductive Rights decided to file a lawsuit to try to get even some of the most minor of restrictions overturned in Mississippi. No lawsuit, no case to review. They did it to themselves - if they had just let the restrictions stand, this could not have happened.
i wonder if women who are gonna get abortions from now on can be red flagged as trying to commit murder?
Candidate Trump: I’ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case: OCT 19 2016 9:31 PM EDT

Donald Trump said the overturning of the landmark Supreme Court decision giving women the right to abortion “will happen, automatically,” if he is elected president and gets to appoint justices to the high court.
“I am pro-life,” Trump said during Wednesday night’s presidential debate when asked whether he wanted that decision, Roe v. Wade, reversed by the Supreme Court.
Trump said that if the ruling were to be reversed, laws on the legality or illegality of abortion would “go back to the individual states” to decide, which was the case prior to Roe v. Wade.
But when moderator Chris Wallace pressed him on whether he wanted the ruling overturned.
Trump said, “That will happen, automatically in my opinion!” because he would get to nominate potentially several justices to the court.
In response, Hillary Clinton said, “I strongly support Roe v. Wade.”
“I will defend Roe v. Wade, I will defend a woman’s right to make her own decision,” Clinton said.
She criticized Trump for having said in the past that a woman should be punished if she got an abortion when it was made illegal.
Trump fired back, saying Clinton was in favor of partial-birth abortions being legal, which meant that a fetus could be “ripped out” of a mother’s womb a day before she was due to give birth.

“There had been a time, in the 15 years after Roe, when Republicans were as likely as Democrats to support an absolute right to legal abortion, and sometimes even more so.”
Two neighbors of my parents’ generation, both Republicans, liked abortion because it was a means of population control.
I can vouch for that observation within my staunch Republican family. My aunt was a township committeeman in Nassau County, NY. She was very pro-abortion in the 70’s.
“I can vouch for that observation within my staunch Republican family.”
Ok let’s say that attitude among Republicans existed back then, and let’s say the reason was population control.
Now it appears that today’s spoken justification for abortion is that a woman should be able to choose blah blah blah.
That’s an evolution in public thinking but who knows what’s going on in private minds.
