CarolAnn,
Supreme Court Justices have a funny way of behaving differently from what you expect. I think it's highly unlikely that an outright ban on abortion will come before the court. Even if Roe v. Wade were overturned, that would turn power over to the states, and I'm sure that, many of them would keep it.
Bush's environmental record is horrible, but Al Gore's is nothing to write home about either. He was instrumental in getting drilling permits for Occidental petroleum --on government land which democrats had opposed for ages. Likewise, he does not seem to care much about the environment outside of the U.S. He wants Occidental to be able to do whatever it wants in Columbia, even if it means forcibly displacing the Uwa people.
