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

If we think the 2016 election is a pyrrhic victory for Republicans, you can't begin to imagine the scale of pyrrhicism in an overturn of Roe v. Wade.

A ballot initiative to ban abortion failed in Mississippi only a couple years back, yet these right wingers think that an overturn of Roe V Wade would go along smoothly. If Roe V Wade was overturned, it would go over like the GOP's failure on Obamacare...they would never ban it completely in a single one of the 50 states because whenever you force a Republican to own their own policies, they will immediately run from it every single time because they know their own policies are unpopular.

Personhood only failed in Mississippi because many people knew it went against Roe and thought it wouldn't stand in the courts.  Maybe rape or incest exceptions would be carved out, but abortion will be illegal one day in this country.
Very few people want a total ban as is. Even with exceptions, it's a minority. Most favor something along the lines of a compromise before or in the second trimester.
