I could see that happening -here's a possible scenario:
Assuming Republicans win a majority in the Senate big enough this year to survive the 2016 election, whichever Republican who wins the White House that year will have a GOP trifecta to work with.
Which would also mean that two or three conservative justices on the Supreme Court will deem it the most opportune time to step down (I'm thinking Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and possibly Anthony Kennedy), allowing three younger and even more conservative judges to take their places on the court. And that in turn would mean the death knell of Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey (and possibly Griswold vs. Connecticut). Leading to a backlash and the rebirth of feminism as a mass political movement (as opposed to just another interest group) and a Democratic landslide in the 2020 elections.
