The other point that I think is salient is what justice Ginsburg noted back in the 70s I believe. She said that abortion rights were trending towards a more “liberal“ direction. And then Roe came and galvanized the pro life movement dramatically.
We can only guess and hypothesize. But one has to wonder if the pro-choice movement would’ve been better off without row, and with the passage of time.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoThat's correct. RBG said she would not likely have voted with Roe which was focused on the doctor and not the woman. That she would have liked to see progress carry on in the states then eventually move federally (like we'll see with weed at some point). She said it gave opposition a target. Instead of some percentage of 50, it was a nationally agreed upon "problem" by opponents. I disagree with a lot of her positions, but this one seems well reasoned. The 7 justices that decided Roe really did think they were ending conflict by siding as they did, that I believe did not, at all.
