<p>An academic observer believes the U.S. Supreme Court will seriously revise, or even repeal, <em>Roe v. Wade </em>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.</p>
<p>American University political science professor Karen O&#8217;Connor, who supports abortion-on-demand,<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wins-supreme-court-abortion-fight/story?id=19777200">told</a> ABC News, &#8220;I think we are going to see <em>Roe</em> overturned.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m thinking 2015,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Connor said the number of cases “pending in the circuit court” makes it more likely the justices will take up a challenge to <em>Roe</em>.<em> “</em>I would say the year after next is going to be a blockbuster year for the court,” she said. <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://heartsunitedforlife.com/?p=2209" title="Permanent Link: ‘Pro-choice’ political science professor: ‘I think we are going to see Roe overturned’" rel="bookmark">Read more...</a> <i>(499 words, estimated 2:0  mins reading time)</i></span></p>
