I think they get Roberts as well as Kavanaugh on this one and this is how Roe ends

Looking forward to it, but also very unsure what will occur. Roberts votes with the Liberals fairly often these days, and as a pro-life person, this part of the Gorsuch hearing has always made me wonder if he is actually willing to be the deciding vote to overturn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z08EdjHJgoI

Based on Gorsuch's concurrences and dissents so far, I would be shocked if he doesn't vote to uphold the Mississippi law and overturn Roe. 

We can safely say he would never overturn Obergefell, though.

I'm honestly starting to almost hope for the overturn. I just want judges to stop being the obsession in every election. I want the issue to go away. I'm so tired.

if anything, the overturn of Roe v. Wade would make the judiciary even MORE important in future elections

Maybe this would be the case if it was a federal 14th Amendment right to life from conception decision that struck down laws permitting abortion nationwide, but no one is even seriously considering that.  If it gets left to the states to allow or restrict as they see fit, then within 5-10 years this gets hashed out in the state legislatures with and candidates of either party below the presidential level can safely take the local majority position on abortion.  It could reduce polarization significantly provided that court packing is off the table after an election or two.
