The best solution for both parties would likely be a return to the status quo ante ''Roe''--that is, for Congress and the president largely to ignore abortion, and leave its regulation to the state legislatures.

Thus, one might say that both ''Roe'' and the Roe effect contain the seeds of their own demise.
