Get me 7 young pro-life justices on the Supreme Court, and you can have control of government back at some point.

Sadly, it appears Dems will have no choice but to take this deal.

Sounds like a fair deal. Could you imagine sending abortion back to the states and forcing Republican legislators to actually confront and vote on the issue. They'll choke like they did with Obamacare

They won't have that opportunity, because the Supreme Court would have to find a constitutional right to life in this scenario (which would be much more constitutionally grounded than Roe).

Yeah, I don't buy that. First of all, the most likely decision would just punt abortion regulations back to the states, which would be an absolute slaughter for Republicans if they actually had to act on their rhetoric for banning abortion. Second, even given how limited my excursions are regarding constitutional legal studies, it beggars belief that one could find a sound constitutional grounding for embryos somehow being proscribed a constitutional right to life. I would think that would be an even larger stretch than the logic used to seek constitutionality for abortions. Third, Roe v. Wade isn't getting overturned.
