My first impression of this is that it may be another nail in the coffin of the GOP's 2008 election hopes.

This is a massive wakeup call to Pro-Choice Republicans, that the anti-abortion plank is not just there to get enough votes to pass tax cuts, it's really there and these guys are really on the Supreme Court.

I'd say the Democrats just picked up 5 points in the Womens vote.
I'm also confused as to why you think this is bad for the GOP.

As far as I know, the ban was supported by a slight majority of the population in general, and nothing rallies the base on the Right like the issue of abortion.
