Actually, I don't think Roe v. Wade is constitutionally sound, and I think it's done more harm than good. If and when it's reversed, and I think that's inevitable, the battleground will shift to the state legislatures. The Religious Right knows that - and they're eating you guys' lunch already. The other battleground is going to be keeping RU 486 legal. Once RU 486 becomes widely available, I can't think of any legitimate reason to have a second trimester abortion unless the mother waited for the results of genetic testing or has had some kind of medical emergency. The vast majority of second trimester abortions are performed on women who couldn't scrape together the money for a first trimester abortion on time. Second trimester abortions are far more complex than first trimester abortions, and the complication rates are much higher. No one should have one just for purposes of contraception. It's stupid. They're dangerous. Dubya is probably going to appoint three justices during the next four years - Rehnquist and O'Connor both have expressed the desire to retire, and Stevens is 80. And there's really no way of knowing how a Supreme Court appointee will vote once he or she is on the bench.
