I'm not saying Democrats are great (in fact, I'm Green Party till the day I die), but the Republicans scare me.
The Supreme Court is already conservative enough...what's next? Roe v. Wade is already on thin ice...Are they going to repeal the 13th Amendment?

Abortion isn't so much a party issue anymore - what we're seeing more and more of is that the parties are split within themselves on this one. There are many Republicans who are sliding more towards pro-choice, and some more conservative Democrats talking pro-life talk. I think the chances of Roe v. Wade being repealed are slim to none; it would be political suicide.
