Lesson #1) Don't watch CNN. No polls show Republicans losing anything - except what CNN and other "sinking ships" subscribe to. The decision made by the Supreme Court in 1973 to legalize abortion violated many state laws that prohibited it. It based its decision on the 14th amendment's "right to privacy" which, in itself, was a misappropriated decision. The "right to privacy" as per the 14th amendment prohibits arbitrary deprivation of "life, liberty, or property" by the government except as authorized by law. The key word here is "arbitrary". The law here is saying that a person can't be deprived of life, liberty, or property "on a whim" except as authorized by law. State law at the time prohibited it. So their answer was to do away with a law they didn't like and replace it with one they did. The fact that it deprived an unborn child of its 4th amendment rights made absolutely no difference - "execute the child because the mother doesn't want the responsibility". The Supreme Court's decision was also illegal because it created a law - which is not in the purview of the Judicial branch. Laws are created in the Legislative branch of government and thus, the Supreme Court overstepped its authority.

Well...yes, of course, since that is what happened when the Supreme Court "struck down" the Roe v Wade decision recently. That is: they can even REVERSE their decision, and certainly they can AMEND their decision. BUT...don't expect it to happen any time soon. Expect it to take at least several years before the Supreme Court takes such an action.

Sure they can. A Scotus decision is not legislation. Congress needs to act on this and pass laws protecting the women's right to self-determination in their procreation. They procrastinated for 50 years and brought us to this situation we are in now.
