There has been a large change in Americans views about abortion. If you read current polling, very few Americans support "the abortion on demand for any reason" that is the status-quo today. A large majority of Americans support a major roll back of the "right to choose." Put another way Americans support the advance of human rights; the same rights that they currently enjoy.

I agree with the last point, that the public wants to roll back abortion on demand. Me too.

But I disagree that this reprsents a change in Americans' views about abortion. Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were excursions of judicial supremacy.

Agreed, but on a national basis we who vote for our leaders are responsible for what they do, so if we, in spite of being a prolife majority, vote in prodeath or middling presidents, this is what we get on the Supreme Court and they serve for life. I have seen too much appeal to international law (as opposed to the Constitution) in the last few weeks to have any confidence in the Supreme Court as presently constituted. However, they're all going to go sometime, so we just need to keep getting the message out.
