On Oct 7th, Mitt Romney told 'Meet the Press'; that “It would be my preference that [the Supreme Court justices] reverse Roe v. Wade and therefore return to the people and their elected representatives the decisions with regards to this important issue ...”
Sarah Kliff, columnist for the Washington Post brings up a very good point. Although this landmark case could be overturned by appointing the correct Justices (seeing that Norma McCorvey - the women who the case is based on is now Pro Life, and abortion is currently a rampart form of birth control); it would still revert the power back to individual states.
Some states like New York would be very liberal providing abortions on demand, while others would have no abortions (such as Utah).
Now, I'm no constitutional scholar like our sitting President; correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that there is a difference between the SCOUS reversing or over turning a decision.
It's my understanding that a reversal actually reverses the laws & regulations that have been in forced; whereas, overturning a decision, basically reverts the law back to where they were before the decision was enacted.
So a reversal would automatically apply the laws in which ProLife advocates have been persecuted to the ProChoice movement. Whereas overturning the decision would bring the law back to states to decide what is enforceable.
