Will Roe v. Wade by overturned?

I think it will.  It won't affect me directly, though.  It'll be fun seeing if the slippery slope argument also applies to abortion, in which case it might affect me.  Let's just see, I guess

I don't see it happending.  However, I have no problem with leaving this issue up to the states.

Ditto...I don't see how it relates to the Constitution.

I personally favour it being illegal after 18 weeks, but that's just my opinion.

I pretty much agree with you. But it's not something I worry about, since only something like .3% of abortions are performed after the 4th month.

I think overturning Roe v. Wade would be a disaster for this country. Any poor girl in the south is going to be out of luck and there will be a big increase in families living in poverty and/or unsafe abortions.

It is definitely possible it is overturned. If O'Connor and Justice Stevens both retire and are replaced by fundies Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

Yep...and it's kind of scary.  Don't some people consider contraception murder?  I see the cliched slippery slope.
