Clearly, we now have a Supreme Court amenable to such a ruling.

It's unlikely that it will be overturned, but the court might well choose to interpret new cases more narrowly, allowing more regulation of abortion.
Don't expect an outright ban, though. Remember, the pendulum has been swinging to the right for some years now, it'll swing back soon. The new court might be amenable to the idea, but the new crop of legislators may not give them anything to work with.

That's what the lefties have been trying to scare everyone into believing for at least 25 years, just to chase people over to voting Democrat.
Don't you wonder why they haven't done it yet?
They've had 3 times to hear the matter, and all 3 have not taken it up.
This propaganda plow is getting old and silly. I've been hearing it ever since Reagan was in office. "oh no, we're on the verge of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, we just HAVE to vote a democrat into office"
I''m surprised it still works on you people.
There's one born every minute I guess...

I'm not sure even Scalia would directly overturn such a bedrock case. The Court might, though, chip away at it.

I give it a few more years.
South Dakota already put abortion up to a vote. If it would have had provisions for rape and the mother's health, it would have passed, and (hopefully) the Supreme Court would have at LEAST made abortion a job for the states to decide, or maybe even overturned Roe v Wade.
I say, in less than 5 years, abortion will once again be a state issue, and in about 20 it should be gone.

If the next president is a Republican, within the next 10 years. If the next president is a Democrat, within the next 25 years. The thing we really need to worry about right now is setting up pro-life laws in as many of the 50 states as possible that will kick in after Roe is overturned.

With the latest developments in fetal monitoring and pregnancy related issues, I give it 10-15yrs before it is completely overturned. I think it will be carved away slowly until then.

I don't know about overturned, but I'd like to have some justices revisit the issue. Have you ever read that particular decision? It reads more like a Newspaper Editorial than a legal document.

Well even Jane Roe , real name Norma McCorvey
( http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/21/mccorvey.interview/ )
is trying to get Roe vs Wade, the supreme court case that she herself pushed reversed.
I myself would just leave it alone for more pressing issues.
but thats me.

At about the same time we get universal access to contraception and effective sex education...which is probably like saying "when pigs fly."
