'I've been coming since 1974. There is a difference in expectation and hope," Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey told CNN, after a speech describing the moment as a"tipping point."CNN Poll: As Supreme Court ruling on Roe looms, most Americans oppose overturning itA Supreme Court decision that overruled Roe will make abortion an even more contentious political flashpoint.
