There hasn't been a 'question' in the Wall Street Journal for a few days.

So, I guess they made this poser for us to make up:

"Do you expect the Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision by 2010?"

I said YES

But, it is a qualified yes.

This one is very hard for me to think about.

I have to remember that the question is a yes or no estimate and is not based on my opinion about the laws themselves.

Obviously, the so-called 'right-to-life' movement has been encouraged by the recent busher appointments to the court. South Dakota has already made its move. It is regarded as a strategic error by many.

It goes too far, too fast, and opens up a whole new area which has to do with the penalties to be associated with the law. Will it imprison teenage girls for getting an abortion? Doctors? What about the fathers?

Can of worms over here!

Nevertheless, I do think that there will be chipping away at Roe; perhaps overturning with a new perspective on the whole matter.

On the other hand, as they used to say about presidents (pre-bush), the office makes the man and perhaps sitting on the bench will change some of the views of the newbies.

I am waffling all over here.

OK.

The other respondents said NO (65%); YES (35%)
