RBG had her criticisms of Roe, but a quick reading of her critiques would clearly show she would be with the dissent today, not the majority.
Reproductive rights are essential to women's liberty and equality, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. The unborn child has a competing right to life that is also guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Roe/Casey balanced these competing interests well, and today's decision blows that up and eliminates any notion of reproductive rights for women.
Rights are not supposed to be subject to the whims of political majorities.

- tablespoon 4y ago> Rights are not supposed to be subject to the whims of political majorities. They kind of are, when they're controversial and as weakly justified as Roe was. The Democrats really botched this, when they put all their efforts into puffing up Roe than creating other supports.
- noelsusman 4y agoIf anything controversial rights should have even more protection from political majorities, not less.
