Originally posted by JimL View PostDoubt it, because those who want Roe V Wade overturned are in the minority big time, even amongst republicans. 71% overall are against overturning R v W, and even 52% of republicans are against it. And since republicans only make up about 25% of the country, that's very little support for overturning, even from them.
But let's suppose that Roe v Wade is extremely popular as you claim it is. In that case, why should overturning it matter? If it gets overturned, it just means legislatures get to set the rules regarding what is or isn't allowed. If Roe v Wade is that gobsmackingly popular, then enacting laws accomplishing the same thing as the decision did should be extremely easy.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostI have to be honest I'll be disappointed if Roe vs Wade is still standing, effectively, by the time the 2020 election comes up.
First a case would have to rise through the appeals process before even being granted cert, which can take years, and the Supreme Court largely grants cert several months before they will hear the case. Surely things can move more quickly, but I doubt you would see anything by the 2018-2019 term.
