Kat,

Had the Dems truely been supoortive if Roe they would haver filibustered Alito to the moon... They would have pulled out evry stop.. It would have been Frazier/Ali in Manila... It would have been balls to the wall...

Richard,

Yes, the Christain Right will press for legislation making it a crime to cross a state line to get an abortion...

Others,

But there is an upside to this and it is the post-Roe-era. It will provide one heck of a lot of the same motivation juices that the Christain Right has used to fight from the position of underdog... The "silent majority" is getting sand kicked in it's face by these folks and not doing much in the way of defending iself... There are a lot of reasons for this... Fear of retribution, too busy making a living, too busy consumer, plain apathy, denial, ect, ect. but when face with very adverse circumstances it is possible that the US can aviod Germany's little 1930's experiement... At least the atmosphere will be right (opp's, wrong word...) condusive...

And maybe the Democartic Party will get it's head out of Karl Rove's butt....
