They've strung along the religious right for 25 years now. They've controlled everythign for two years and have been handed a majority mandate this year.
Either the Republicans deliver the overturnning of RvW within two years, or they lose their base.
Losing Roe now is a given. Accept it, there is no longer reproductive choice in the United States.
Rehnquist is gone from the court, for sure. But he was a rw'er, anyway. Replacing him with another rw'er may not make much difference. I just hope the other justices can hang in there.
Roe v. Wade will be one of the first things they overturn. Ruth Ginsberg is ill. Will she last until 2008? This is a nightmare for the women of this country. A NIGHTMARE.
I suspect it will be up to the states. So rich white girls/women can fly to NY or California for abortions. But the poor and middle class will have back alley abortions.
The next step will eliminate most forms of birth control.
