Would overturning Roe actually depoliticize the abortion debate?

[progressive85]

Not "depoliticize", but transform the debate overnight into a reset where the sides are now switched... so I argue yes, overturning Roe does more in the long run for legalization supporters.  

It gives the pro-life movement a desperately desired victory, and fuels a resistance movement from the pro-choice side... it takes us out of the current status quo, which is barely holding up at all.  Roe's been so chipped at that it's practically been neutered by a slew of state governments who have made their opposition to it a key part of their governing platform.

Sometimes you need to face an enormous loss before building back up again, and the best thing for the pro-choice side would be a staggering defeat by the Supreme Court.  

Backlash has its own kind of power - and it would even be felt in deeply pro-life, conservative states like Mississippi and Alabama.  Young women in those states could begin their own movements to restrict their legislatures from adopting the most extreme kinds of abortion laws.
