Roe v. Wade II

Commentary Magazine's blog looks at the what's next if ObamaCare passes under pressure.
The only way to put this issue behind Democrats, get back to focusing on the economy, and defuse the electorate’s anger is to vote this down. By passing it, the Democrats will invite perpetual challenges — a never-ending stream of measures to repeal it and a continuous campaign (beginning this year and extending to 2012 and beyond) to rip it out by the roots. In a sense, it’s like Roe v. Wade — a highly controversial action that was viewed as procedurally illegitimate by a large segment of the electorate and that energized an entire movement dedicated to its repeal.
