it too.

They want to overturn RvW and then probably pass a federal ban on abortion to control all 50 states and the U.S. territories.

The GOP would regret overturning RvW for these reasons:
1. If Congress doesn't have a federal law banning abortion, the GOP will likely go broke financing each state election from governor down to state assemblymen to ensure that individual states ban abortion. 2. It's far more expedient to do the former than the latter as well.
3. Their religious will come up with something else fascistlike to give them. That takes away attention and money from permanent world warfare and taking money away from poor people.

On the other hand: If RvW is overturned, the GOP can keep their base in place indefinitely as they will be seen as delivering on a BIG promise. Maybe the Diebold machines will be so ubiquitous by that time, any state's election can come out anti-abortion.
