Stephen Chapman argues abortion rights are not in danger from Miguel Estrada's potential Supreme Court appointment. He counters pro choice claims that Roe v. Wade is vulnerable, explaining the current 6-3 support and Kennedy's position, and notes the Senate filibuster is politically motivated rather than fatefully decisive.
