Though in fact a Supreme Court that reversed Roe v. Wade and threw abortion back to the states would be the Bush administration's gift to the Democratic Party, for similar base-mobilizing reasons. (It would bring out the religious right as well, but they've already been brought out fairly effectively, so the net outcome would probably swing the other way.) I'm guessing that Bush knows this, and that he doesn't care enough about abortion personally to throw the party onto that particular grenade, but then he's surprised me before.
