‘Pro-choice’ political science professor: ‘I think we are going to see Roe overturned’
An academic observer believes the U.S. Supreme Court will seriously revise, or even repeal, Roe v. Wade within the next two years because the American people do not believe viability is the only criterion that should limit when a woman can procure an abortion.
American University political science professor Karen O’Connor, who supports abortion-on-demand,told ABC News, “I think we are going to see Roe overturned.”
“I’m thinking 2015,” she added.
O’Connor said the number of cases “pending in the circuit court” makes it more likely the justices will take up a challenge to Roe. “I would say the year after next is going to be a blockbuster year for the court,” she said.
