Change the dynamics of the Supreme Court with a couple conservative justices, and you bet Roe v Wade can, and probably will, be, if not overturned, gutted.

Why didn't it happen before? Reagan got eight years to pick justices. So did "W".
In fact since abortion was legalized, the Republicans have nominated many more justices than Clinton and Carter. The Republicans claim they want to get rid of abortion but they always seem to have better things to expend their political capital on. Or they just like to use the anti-abortion crowd.

I am unwilling to risk losing the right of choice, and the ACA, which would have long term consequences....for the vague promises of Romney who has proven himself to have no core values...he changes positions more often than he changes his neatly pressed jeans....which Mitt are you voting for? The moderate Mitt? the Mitt who is a far right conservative? some mythical Mitt in the Middle?
Oh great....now you are voting with the hope that what hasn't already happened to Roe V Wade, can't happen.....why? because it hasn't been done yet? Well healthcare reform hadn't been done yet either, now it has. If you can't see that the GOP has moved father and farther right since Reagan, then you have some pretty thick blinders firmly in place. I doubt Reagan or even Bush could win a Re publican primary now.
