It is a very legit question.
DO you think that the 'right' to an abortion would pass if the people got to vote on it? If you did, you wouldn't worry about the supreme court.

Just came in on this thread and it appears to have been highjacked, but since the original question has been answered, I will take a shot at the above.
I am honestly unsure about the results of a nationwide vote on abortion. I would vote for the right of the mother to choose. My mother, who was morally opposed to abortion always told me that if it came to a vote she would, in defference to the Constitution and the protected rights of minority groups, vote for the right to choose, even though it would make her sick to do so. I think that you might be surprised at the ultimate result of a vote. The advantage for Pro-Life supporters is that they are very well organized and truly passionate about the issue. Many who would probably vote Pro-Choice, feel like my mother and may opt not to vote. It would certainly be interesting to have a non-biased/skewed poll to get the true pulse of the nation.
Ustwo, I assume that you would vote for a ban, do you have any information that would back up your assumtion that, if voted upon, abortion would be banned?
