Reply #12: I was hoping for a very strong response like that

Thanks, I need something to hold onto.

Leahy said they also need abortion as an issue, and to overturn it would leave them empty-handed. He also said they could draw up a law put it to a vote have the legislatures vote on it if they really wanted to overturn Roe.

I honestly wish they would. Because I would love to see our state legislatures on the national scene again, and I think it would be really good for people to see how our democracy is reall supposed to work. It was such a battle over the ERA, and I would like to do this with either gay marriage or abortion either one. They won't do it of course, because they know they will lose, but I would love for that to happen.
