Thank god they haven't overturned that ruling. While I have yet to truly support one side or the other, I tend (especially in political instances) to look towards the real world impact of decisions. This country has lived for too long with Roe v Wade to overturn it now. Simply put, our country would split straight down the middle on this issue were Roe v Wade to ever be overturned. Philosophy aside, it's political suicide to entertain overturning that ruling. Any president that puts in the justices that overturn Roe v Wade can expect to never return to the White House. Our country isn't ready for a counter-ruling on the issue, and as far as the pro-life camp goes, how is it directly affecting those mothers that choose to keep their children? As opposed to the pro-choice camp, where mothers would no longer have any choice but to have the child? The pro-life camp has nothing to lose in this fight, and everything to gain politically. However, the pro-choice camp has everything to lose, and I guarantee you they would not tolerate a counter-ruling for long.
