Now, of course, that leads to the argument that the fetus has rights at some point. That's an entirely different conversation, however. Once you start balancing the rights of the fetus and the woman, you're into an argument of degree. The argument that women do not have a right to an abortion at all is forever lost by the Right.

As I understand it, the states have done everything that needs to be done to ratify the ERA. The ball is in the Senate's court. If the Senate is flipped, then its likely the ERA will (after however many years of litigation on the issue) become part of the constitution. Which will hopefully change the Roe analysis considerably.
