The GOP have been trying to overturn Roe vs Wade since at least the Reagan era, if not from the day the decision was made.
What was your reasoning for your side of the argument? Were you arguing based on the GOP history of not successfully overturning RvW, or were you challenging the other side's assumptions about GOP wanting to overturn RvW? Were you playing the ball or the player?
- JamesBarney 6y agoI didn't even get to my argument. Which is basically two fold. Roe vs wade is very popular. Last pre research poll I found said even among Republicans less people wanted to overturn it than not overturn it. 49 to 48. If the Republican justices fall along these same lines it won't get overturned. Which brings us to our next argument Which is basically the supreme court is very reluctant to overturn major constitutional court cases that have stood for almost half a century. So will the supreme court throw out 50 years of precedence to overturn an issue that 70-80% of the population and 50% of Republicans disagree with overturning? It's not impossible but doesn't seem likely.
