Many Americans believe the SCOTUS is one conservative justice away from abolishing Roe v Wade and ending abortion on demand as the national policy of the US federal government. CJ Roberts has recently been talking about the possiblity of overturning precedent, aka. stare decisis.

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.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is a pipe dream.

Hope it happens. really. But we have to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the judges if and when one is appointed. Justice Roberts may be that guy.

In the meantime, RvW IS the law of the land. All I'm saying is that Brown may very well surprise you, now that the election is over. The tone of the country has changed dramatically, the pols will see that they must change as well. Anyone who changes their view on abortion is acceptable to me. That is what the goal is; changing minds and hearts. Unlike some people, I hold no grudge against a politician who changes their view on this, the worst of all terrorism.
