The only way to turn back the clock on Roe v Wade at this point is with prayer and legislators who will chip away bit by bit at legislation supporting it. That is what Brown has done. It should be evident that 30+ years of legislation cannot be undone in one single step.
Like Reagan, he is smart enough to get himself elected, and then approach the issue with stealth instead of bombast.. . . just exactly how the left has slowly boiled the masses towards socialism. I am hopeful that Brown will do the right thing when the time is right.
Here’s what Scott Brown actually said and by the way, he also think Sarah Palin is “presidential material.”

WALTERS: Yes. You know when I was with you just a little while ago with the crowd, one of the women said — behind me — said, “President 2012.” And you said to me — or under your breath, “That’s silly.” But do you rule it out?
BROWN: I — I have to — I have to tell you, I don’t even have a business card. I haven’t even been sworn in. I don’t have any exploratory committees started. I don’t have any — anything — it’s — it’s overwhelming, and it’s extremely humbling. I don’t know how — what else to tell you.
WALTERS: Let’s talk about another rising star in the Republican party — Sarah Palin. Do you think that Sarah Palin is presidential material?
BROWN: Well — well, sure. I mean, she’s been a mayor, and a governor. And — and has a lot of — a national following. But I think the more people in a presidential race, the better. She’s never contacted us, and vice-versa.
If Roe was overturned by SCOTUS, the abortion issue would revert back to the states and those state laws that existed before Roe would be enforce again. That would definitely reduce the number of abortions nationally. The next step would be to get a Human Life amendment to the Constitution, similar to the one Reagan proposed back in the early 1980`s.
However, Scott Brown is an unapologetic abortion proponent and he supports Roe v Wade as the Constitutional law of the land. Many CongressCritters oppose partial birth abortion. After all, its infanticide and its inherently evil. Even Dirty Harry Reid opposes PBA.
Reagan was out front and open in public about his opposition to Roe v Wade and abortion on demand, and stated so on numerous occasions. In 1976, Reagan chose pro-life champion Richard Schweiker, one of the earliest supporters of a Human LIfe amendment to the Constitution, to be his running mate. Marking the GOP as the Pro-Life party in America. In 1983 President Reagan wrote his famous essay, Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation. Reagan was never "in your face" on any isssue, but he was always out front on the abortion issue.
